Joe Hollier shares how the Light Phone is helping teens, parents, and educators rethink digital life

In this episode, Jaydee speaks with Joe Hollier, co-founder of the Light Phone, a minimalist mobile device created as a powerful alternative to the modern smartphone. Designed to support intentional living and reduce digital overwhelm, the Light Phone is helping people — especially teens and younger generations — rethink their relationship with technology.

Joe shares how the Light Phone evolved from a simple idea into a growing movement rooted in mindfulness, digital detox, and human connection. As smartphones continue to dominate attention and disrupt face-to-face interactions, this conversation explores what it means to live without constant notifications, social media, and algorithm-driven content.

From educational institutions adopting the Light Phone to Gen Z users seeking more balance, Joe offers first-hand insight into how this technology is being used to create healthier habits. He also discusses the challenges of building a product that goes against industry norms, the power of boredom in sparking creativity, and the emotional impact of disconnecting from smartphones.

If you've ever questioned how technology is shaping your focus, attention, or mental health — especially in teens — this episode will inspire a new perspective.
