Heath Wilson understands how challenging it can be to save intentional time for family while building a company. So, after exiting the company he’d worked on for 18 years, he decided to launch Aro, a product designed to help families reduce their screen time and spend more time together. In this episode, Heath joins Alex to talk about the lessons he learned while growing his first company, from becoming a better leader to managing outside investors to knowing when it’s time to exit. Then, they talk about the way screen time is getting in the way of relationships, and Heath explains how Aro is tackling this problem head on.
