In this episode of The Aro Podcast, Aro Co-Founder Joey is joined by 20-year-old Seán Killingsworth, the Founder of the Reconnect Movement. Seán talks about why he started the movement, aiming to create in-person communities that counteract the overwhelming influence of social media on our connections. He shares his experiences of noticing, during high school and college, that many kids spent a lot of time on their phones, impacting how they interacted with each other. These experiences led Seán to the realization that kids are growing up in a social 'wasteland,' lacking real connections due to technology. Joey and Seán also discuss how technology is changing the way young people experience dating. Join the conversation for critical insights into what kids are experiencing and how parents can help change this narrative.
