Send us Fan MailIn an intriguing twist to the ongoing dialogue about technology’s impact on children, special guest, Matt Todd, host of The Ranch podcast, sat down for an in-depth interview with Alexis. Their conversation took a hard look at a critical aspect of today's landscape—Kids and Tech: Balancing Kids' Safety and Digital Freedom. Matt, known for his diligent work in interviewing experts from the intersecting worlds of education, politics, and law enforcement, posed a provocative question that lies at the heart of the matter: Is the pervasive use of technology in schools truly benefitting our children?

Matt emphasized that awareness and advocacy are paramount, urging listeners to join in the conversation and share their thoughts on these pressing issues.Listeners and followers are encouraged to engage with this important discussion on social media, specifically by connecting with Alexis on her Instagram page: @the.alexis.morgan.
