Let’s face it, we are an anxious generation of parents.
We’ve been living in relationship with smartphones for 17+ years.
We’re actively raising digitally native kids
and
we often forget…
We are models of healthy tech use.
We have our fair share of habits to always improve upon.
We need to be deliberately slow with the important decisions we make regarding tech.

Hi friends —
Does your podcast have a tea sponsor?
Slow Tech is now proudly sponsored by White2Tea!
What does this mean?
Simply put, it means that future in-person interviews will be brewing & imbibing W2T.
Also!
Future subscriber-only IRL tea meetups will be made possible thanks to the teas donated by W2T.
This does not mean that we will have referral or affiliate codes for you to purchase teas with.
Why?
Because the pricing structure at W2T is already outstanding and why not just share the love?!
(btw I brewed some 2022 Snoozefest raw puer before recording this episode)
Please enjoy this short and fun interview I had with founder Paul Murray where I got to read his responses since W2T has a strict no audio/video policy… as he put it, “we love a little mystery”.

Ok friends… deep breath…
My guest this week is Joe Hollier, co-founder of Light.
Light just announced the upcoming Lightphone 3 (available for pre-order and shipping January 2025).
We touch on the ethos behind their phones, growing their community over the past 10 years, school case studies like Buckston and more.
Summary
In this conversation, Adam interviews Joe, co-founder of Light Phone, about the journey of creating the Light Phone 3 and the impact of the Light Phone community. They discuss the evolution of the Light Phone from version one to version three, the importance of user feedback, and the diverse community of Light Phone users. They also touch on the sustainability aspect of the Light Phone, the marketing campaign of the Alliance of Big Tech, and the use of Light Phones in schools.
