The Bearded Signal

Distractions & Decisions: When Tech Clutters Home and Purpose Feels Pricey


Listen Later

In this episode of The Bearded Signal, we’re getting real about two things most families are wrestling with:

tech overload at home and choosing purpose over a paycheck.


Host [Your Name] shares honest (and often hilarious) stories about how screens are quietly hijacking our dinner tables, family time, and even our peace—and what happens when you finally decide to put them down.


Then, he dives into a personal story about taking a new job that paid 60% less but aligned 100% more with his values. What’s it like to trade income for presence? To choose margin over money? The answers might surprise you.


👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Whether you’re a parent trying to reconnect with your kids or someone wrestling with a big life decision, this episode will challenge, encourage, and probably make you laugh.


🔌 Topics Covered:

• Tech-free dinner ideas that actually work

• Why your car might know more about your emotions than your family does

• The emotional cost of staying in the “wrong” job

• How to prioritize time, peace, and purpose in a hyper-distracted world


📱 Challenge of the week: Unplug for one night and see what you learn.
