Few weeks ago, I got a message from this awesome, recently graduated 18yr-old high schooler named Jack. He told me his story, which is something happening to pretty much every high schooler/teenager today regarding social media/gaming/etc., and how he had an INCREDIBLE awakening. He now travels the country speaking to youth groups and schools about how as a young teen he got hooked to technology and screens, how he broke the trance, and how need to fix the internet for the sake of the kids. In 2020 Jack was named a US Presidential Scholar, the highest academic honor bestowed by the US Secretary of Education. He recently started an organization called "Detach Now" and just authored his first book entitled "Acquired Connection". Did I mention...he's EIGHTEEN.

One of the most smart, well-spoken teenagers I have come across, Jack and I talk about some fun & seriously eye-opening stuff. This dude is like a young Jaron Lanier/Tristan Harris/Socrates.

You can follow his work and/or donate to his cause (or donate a car) at www.DetachNow.com and while you are at it, go get a copy of his book HERE.
