With so many things influencing us every single moment, is it ever possible to be "free" from influence? Where do these influences even come from?

The team at Grey and Social Media Week were very excited to give you another episode of #5 Things, but due to some scheduling challenges we aren't able to get a new episode out this week, however you can sign up to receive the #5Things Newsletter, a text version of the topics discussed on the show [HERE]. Today we're replaying an episode from the Grey Matter archive when Dan sat down with Jess Davis the founder of Folk Rebellion.

Folk Rebellion founder Jess Davis and I reconnected after she emerged from a year-long hermitage away from the impossible pace of her work building a ‘hustle-free movement.' A stress-induced heart condition, which caused her to collapse in an airport between speaking engagements, was telling her that enough was enough. Jess' Folk Rebellion is an expression of the very problems that her hustle-induced illness caused: that the way we relate to technology right now is not serving us at all.  Exactly one year ago, Jess wrote: “The zeitgeist is here. People are waking up. Thought leaders are joining the conversation. Brands are hopping on the moment. Tech companies are starting to acknowledge the humans in their users. Seth Godin says it's a digital swirl with an enormous cognitive load we haven't figured out yetVitamin Water is giving $100,000 to anyone who cannot touch a smartphone in 2019 - and prove it with a lie detector...lululemon updated their messaging on their bag and now includes digital well-being. This was all I wanted. An awakening. A Rebellion. And yet. We aren't anywhere where we need to be. We are digitally overwhelmed. The internet has turned everyone into a product for selling. Talking heads everywhere hawking their goods and services and expertise. Us included. I can't help but think we are a part of the problem. That maybe abstinence is the only way.” And then she disappeared from the Internet. Until now. In this episode, we discuss: Where Jess went and whyThe next move for Folk RebellionHow hustle culture is literally killing usHow a health breakdown and a digital detox made Jess realize the destructive effects of her relationship to technologyHow to negotiate the desire for opportunity and the ability to create change with the hidden costs and distortion of the messages we seek to bring to the world GO DEEPER Sign up + join the JOMO community at experiencejomo.com for gentle humor, powerful insights, and actionable tools to live joyfully in a digital age.  Favorite Quotes“I'm less talking about the technology, and more talking about what's lost or gained due to your relationship with it.”“Now, anyone can write anything, everywhere… that's a great thing, and that's also an awful thing.”“Deep thoughts are becoming little snippets all over the place that are now being cannibalized and used by the marketing industry.”“My joy is first and foremost in owning my time.” Follow Jess Davis + Folk Rebellion: Folk Rebellion: https://www.folkrebellion.com/https://folkrebellion.substack.com/p/coming-soonInstagram: @folkrebellion Follow JOMO:Instagram: @experience_jomo SUPPORTIf you enjoyed this episode, we'd love your support.

In a world that is so wired, how does someone disconnect long enough to think up a platform for a more unplugged, conscious society? For Jess Davis, the founder of Folk Rebellion, the idea sparked during a vacation – and grew into a movement where she promotes slower-living and the more mindful use of technology (which we could all use these days).

Jess Davis knows what it's like to be addicted to technology. Her drug of choice: constant emails with clients and colleagues. It took an intervention during a Hawaiian vacation for Jess to realize that she needed to change her life and her approach to connectivity. Jess joined us in the Tiny House to share her personal experiences, and the solutions she's developed to create balance.

The Slow book tour rolls on this week, and in this poggie Brooke sits down to chat with her irrerepressible and inspiring mate Jess Davis - a Brooklyn-dwelling tech ethicist, slow living advocate and founder of Folk Rebellion.  This episode was recorded at Greenlight Bookstore in Brooklyn in August, and during the conversation and Q&A session Brooke and Jess talk through the meaning of slow in a fast-paced city like Brooklyn.  Jess shares some of what inspired her to change from living a constantly connected, burnt out, stress-filled life to now helming an organisation who's main goal is to get people off their screens and out in to life, as well as how she manages her life in both a real and practical sense.  She and Brooke also answer a whole heap of audience questions and generally just have a hell of a time hanging out.    Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/slow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They’re happy, they’re delighted, they’re back. This week Brooke chats with the founder of Folk Rebellion, AKA Chief Rebel Jess Davis. Jess is an unapologetic advocate for getting the hell off our devices and getting into life. This episode follows on nicely from the recent Monday series about social media and is a continuation of the theme of the relationship between technology and distraction. Folk Rebellion is a call to arms for all of us to get off our phones, look people in the eye when we talk to them and live an analog life; do things with our hands, go hiking, start making, listen to a whole album on vinyl. While working as a digital brand strategist, Jess started to realise the impact her tech dependent life was having on her brain. She found herself losing focus, struggling with memory and feeling disassociated, and went to see doctors about these issues. After a tech intervention by her husband on a holiday to Hawaii, she felt a shift. Eight days of no technology meant she started to feel like her old self again, and this triggered a series of massive shifts and changes Jess has since made to her life. In this episode, Brooke chats with Jess about about how to get people on board with changes, thoughts on digital detox, insight into Jess’ daily routine with technology, changing expectations around technology and availability as well as slow living in the city.  There’s also talk of an exciting new Folk Rebellion project; the launch of an IRL, old-school, paper newspaper called Rebel Times.
