In this inspiring episode, Mandee Hamann sits down with Chet Kittleson, entrepreneur and founder of Tin Can, a company on a mission to help kids and families connect offline—without the interference of screens. Chet shares the story behind Tin Can's creation, the challenges of raising kids in a hyper-digital world, and how meaningful connection can be reclaimed through intentional, tech-free moments.
From the inspiration behind the simple-yet-powerful Tin Can to the importance of curiosity, trust, and communication in parenting, this conversation is full of encouragement and practical insight. Whether you’re just starting your screen-free journey or looking for new ways to strengthen family bonds, Chet’s message will resonate deeply.
