Listen in for a comedic dive into the chaotic circus of technology and family life takes center stage as our guest discusses how to balance it all. Joey Odom founded a company called Aro, which helps parents to be more intentional away from your phone. They tackle the universal truth that constant connectivity often means we're "disconnected" from what really matters—like catching your kid's epic soccer goal because you were too busy arguing with autocorrect. Joey recounts his own cringe-worthy moment: missing his son’s first goal while chasing a “must-read” meme on his phone. It’s the kind of story that makes you want to uninstall every app ever invented—except maybe the one that orders pizza.
