Description

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast, where we explore ways to bring more joy and connection into our daily lives. Today, we're thrilled to chat with Heath Wilson and Joey Odom, the founders of Aro - a company dedicated to helping families put down their phones and spend quality time together. The conversation starts with a surprising statistic - screen time has become the biggest battleground in families today, overtaking drugs, sex, and alcohol. But instead of dwelling on the negative, Heath and Joey share inspiring stories of families who have successfully disconnected from their screens and reconnected with each other. They highlight the importance of giving our loved ones our full attention and in that way bestow value on them. They share practical tips on how we can break the habit of mindless scrolling and focus on what truly matters. The founders of Aro also remind us that time is precious and we don't realize how little of it we have with the people we love. But the good news is that with the right tools and mindset, we can make the most of our time together and create lasting memories. The conversation ends on a hopeful note as Heath and Joey emphasize that we're not alone in this struggle. They assure us that by taking small steps to disconnect and recharge, we can cultivate stronger and happier relationships with our families. Join us in this uplifting conversation with the founders of Aro, and discover how you can bring more joy and connection into your own family life. Aro is offering our listeners a discount to get a free month on the upfront annual or two-year memberships with the code “1000hours”. If you are looking to spend more time with your family, model great habits for your kids, keep them safe, or maybe just fall asleep without scrolling, we encourage you to check out Aro right now at www.goaro.com .

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
