The Power Of Digital Detox with Hector Hughes, Co-Founder of Unplugged

“When people and companies are on the verge of burnout, then it’s just this busyness epidemic.”

You’re in a cabin, in the middle of no-where, for 3 nights. And your phone has been locked away, until you leave. 

It’s just you, nature, and your mind. 

This is not the start of a horror movie script. Although being without our phones can be a super scary thought…

Today, we’re kicking off our new wellbeing feature series with Hector Hughes, the Co-Founder of Unplugged. 

Unplugged are solving the busy, burnout, can't-put-my-phone-down problem, one cosy cabin at a time.

Did you check your phone as soon as you woke up this morning? Are you a sucker for checking work emails when on a wholesome escape in the sun? 
…Then today’s episode is perfect for you, as we discuss: 

➡️ Celebrating failure as a Founder [08:50]

➡️ What to expect from your Unplugged stay [10:20]

➡️ Small steps to take to unplug in everyday life [14:58]

➡️ Offering Unplugged to your team [16:36] 

➡️ The broad lens of burnout and recovery [19:25]

➡️ Building better relationships with technology [27:18] 

We hope this episode will inspire you to switch off and tune back in next week for another episode in our wellbeing feature.
