Follow the podcast so you don’t miss next week’s experiment.
If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend who is also trying (and occasionally failing) to reduce their screen time.
Next week’s topic may or may not make brands even more nervous about working with me… but at this point the damage is probably already done.
See you then.
