joe hollier & the light phone

today on read receipt, we're excited to introduce joe hollier, co-founder of the light phone, the modern phone for the minimalist. originally launched in 2015, the idea for the company came from that digital overwhelm we're all feeling... joe met his co-founder, kaiwei in 2014 in a google experimental program. as an artist and a product designer, they began to realize that the direction smartphones were headed was putting quality of life in the backseat. the transition to light phone, which Joe and kaiwei nicknamed 'going light,' breaks users free from the way we're used to doing things -- and brings it back to the basics. we're so happy to welcome joe to the show to share his story on this. as always, thanks for tuning in, we hope you enjoy!
