In this episode, Cal talks to Commander Divine about how to make sure you're using tech in the best way so that it is helping you toward your goals, rather than simply distracting you from them. 

Learn how: We currently have an economy based around knowledge products, but very little consideration is given to how we make them. 

Addictive behavior is NOT fundamental to smart phones, social media has just enhanced and developed addiction to technology on our part We should be much more selective about the technologies we adopt in our personal lives.

Listen to this episode to understand how to control your technology, and make it the tool rather than the goal of what you do.
