In episode 052 of SHIPS, we are joined by Drew Montesantos, CEO and co-Founder of SignOff. Drew and I share a great conversation where we discuss the importance of getting off the grid temporarily, how powerful social accountability can be when enacting change, and how crucial sitting in silence can be for our own well-being. We discuss how mental is central to the digital wellness movement and how, despite all of the negatives, we must remain open to tech to see how it can be used for our benefit.

Andrew Montesantos is the Chief Empowerment Officer (CEO) of SignOff, a digital wellness start-up that is empowering humanity towards a more intentional relationship with technology. SignOff is proud to call Chicago home, where they curate phone-free experiences and empower local schools, businesses, and families through coaching and conversation. They’re also in development on some exciting hardware and software products! Andrew spent 3+ years as an IT Consultant, assessing humans’ control over technology before launching SignOff in 2018 to do just the opposite. He’s a pretty happy guy, especially when he’s with his family or within sight of some mountains – coincidentally two of the best times to SignOff.
