Reset Your Relationship with Your Phone with Joey Odom (EP345)
On today’s episode, I spoke with one of the visionaries behind Aro (a tech company with a refreshing mission: helping us disconnect from our phones to truly connect with each other), Joey Odom. Joey, a father of two, opens up about the challenges of parenting in the digital age. He shares a poignant and vulnerable story about missing an important moment with his child because he was glued to his phone. This conversation serves as a powerful reminder to reset our habits and prioritize the people who matter most.
About Joey
When Joey Odom missed his son’s first soccer goal because he was looking at his phone, he had a realization: his phone was getting in the way of his best intentions as a Dad and husband. Since then, he has been on a journey to change his relationship with his phone so that he can change his most important relationships in life. He and friend, fellow Dad, and co-founder, Heath Wilson (co-founder of eVestment, a NASDAQ company), started Aro to help create a new generation of intentional families. Since launching in October 2022, Aro has been adopted by thousands of families across the country, helping parents model healthy habits for their kids, be more present with their families, and set their kids up for success with technology.
