Unplug, Together with Tiffany Shlain, Internet Pioneer

Webby Awards founder and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Tiffany Shlain chats with host Ellie Knaus about how we can reboot our relationship with technology. We crave connectivity in these isolating times - I just met my best friend's baby on Zoom after all! - but what connections are we missing when we're glued to our screens? In this conversation, we examine our own impulses when it comes to social media, newsfeeds, and online shopping, and we discuss what can be gained - in loving connections and creativity - if we follow in our guest's footsteps and take a "technology shabbat" one day a week. Shlain's bestseller 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week is now available in paperback (8/20/20). Think you could do it? Listen up!x Ellie KnausAs always: subscribe, rate, and review!
