In this episode, "Deep Conversations in a Shallow World: Family, Tech, and True Connection," Turner sits down with Kevin and his mother, Carrie, for a candid and heartfelt discussion about what it means to truly connect in today’s world.

We dive into the importance of family traditions like Thanksgiving, the impact of technology and social media on our relationships, and why authentic, meaningful conversations are becoming a lost art. From the value of Sunday dinners and multi-generational living to the challenges of building real community in a digital age, this episode explores how we can reclaim genuine connection—both at home and beyond.

Join us for stories, laughter, and honest reflections on what it takes to build relationships that last, even as the world around us gets noisier and more distracted. If you’re craving deeper conversations and a reminder of what really matters, this one’s for you.
