Our discussion weaves through the snowy streets of Utah tales right into the fabric of child-safe telecommunications, revealing how Gabb's innovative solutions are crafting a more protected online experience for children. I even toss in my own story of breathing easier as my kids explore the digital world with Gabb's tech as their safeguard.

We've all seen kids glued to screens, but what's the real impact on their development? This episode traverses the underestimated terrain of how technology is shaping our children's social skills, creativity, and capacity for unstructured play. It's a compelling exploration likened to teaching them to swim—with the right support and structured exposure, they can navigate the digital waters safely. Nate gives us his insights on the importance of in-person interactions for kids and how even non-social media tech can affect their development.

Building a brand isn't just about luring in customers; it's about keeping them close and turning them into your most avid promoters.
