Taino Bendz, Founder of Phone Free Day, joins us in this episode of Relate. We chat about how phones have grown to become more and more of a concern as technology has advanced, why we must set an intention with how we live our days and interact with technology, and why it's so important to take time away from our devices to spend times with the ones we love.

Taino has spent 10 years working in the corporate technology sector, and is passionate about using innovations to support people and enable us to live happier and healthier lives. For many of us however, digital technology such as smartphones are a source of stress, disturbed sleep, distraction, and can even come between relationships (have you heard the term ´phubbing´?). To empower people and promote a balanced device usage, Taino founded the non-profit Phone Free Day as a challenge and catalyst for change, as well as the business PhoneSmart where he runs workshops and presentations.
