Are you addicted to screens — or just overwhelmed by it? There's a difference, and it matters.In this episode, I sit down with Eli Singer, founder of Offline.now and author of Offline.now: A Practical Guide to Healthy Digital Balance, to have an honest, shame-free conversation about our relationship with technology.Eli isn't here to tell you to throw your phone in a river. After spending years building one of the early social media agencies in North America, he pivoted — and started helping people actually live with their devices instead of being run by them. That backstory alone is worth the listen.We get into:What digital overwhelm actually looks like (and why it's showing up in therapy offices everywhere)The difference between problematic use and everyday distractionHis Offline.now Matrix — a practical, shame-free framework for understanding your digital habitsWhy "digital detox" culture often does more harm than goodSmall, sustainable changes that don't require you to go off the gridBuilding Tech That Doesn't Break People Eli is also bringing his digital wellness framework to the startup world — working with the tech entrepreneurship community at the University of Toronto's Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus.
