In Episode 54, Dawn Wible, the Founder of Talk More Tech Less joins us for a discussion about various ways that we can re-introduce in-person, non-tech related, communication back into our lives. Dawn founded Talk More Tech Less in an effort to provide support, resources and education to help, both, adults and children “prioritize relationships over technology.”

Talk More Tech Less is committed to the work of deeper, more connected communication and provides, what they call, the “Facts and Stats” that support how important it is for us to strike a healthy balance among ourselves, our relationships and technology.
