It’s no secret that smartphones are the ultimate buzzkill for quality time with family. I’m sure most of us have been guilty of being on our phones more than we’d like to admit. And today’s guests, Heath Wilson and Joey Odom, are on a mission to change that.

These guys are the brains behind Aro, a company on a mission to help people put down their phones so they can be fully present while spending time with family. So far, their app has helped people save more than 100,000 hours of screen time, and they’re just getting started!

If you’re like most people and feel that your phone usage is getting a little out of hand, I promise this conversation will be worth your while. As a special gift, FRD members also get to try out the Aro app for 30 days at no charge. Just use the code frontrowdads at checkout. 👍

In our conversation, we discuss:

How smartphones destroy vulnerability and intimacy.
Why discipline won’t help you break free from your smartphone addiction.
How constantly staring at your screen sends the wrong cues to your kids.

Some of my favorite moments of the conversation:

Moments missed with loved ones are moments lost forever.
Teach your kids to value your presence.
How putting down your phone can transform your relationships.
Why our environment can make or break our tech addiction.
One habit to rule them all.
How groups of men can support healthy tech habits.
