E84: Look Up to Connect: Reflections from Talmage Erickson

You can’t see people without looking up. And one of the biggest factors pulling our eyes down is often in our own hands. In this episode, Amy and Mark reflect on our conversation with Talmage Erickson, one of “The Screen Guys,” and his mission to infuse compassion by connecting outside of technology. We talk about our own experiences and efforts to reduce screen time, and the negative impact we’ve seen when people get lost in their technology. Listen in and join our discussion on: - The potential negative impacts of social media, not just on youth, but on all of us. - How Talmage’s efforts tie to Amy’s COMPASSION framework - Our ideas to “look up” more and Talmage’s suggestions we like most We love Talmage’s new take on FOMO – focus on meaningful opportunities – and invite YOU to join us in a commitment to look up and connect more. Listen to the end for a challenge from Amy, and let us know if you’re joining in! Talmage Erickson is a 23-year-old who is taking on the world of screens.
