Podcasts about wisephone

I gave up my iPhone for a healthier phone (for 30 days). My goals were to be more present with my kids, find better screen time balance and improve my need to be productive at all times. To slow down! I chose the Wisephone for this test because it is the most advanced, intentional phone for adults. It has all the things I need, but none of the apps that can addict me. No, I'm not sponsored! Just curious. I'd love to hear from any parents who have tried alternative phones like the Wisephone, The Light Phone or others...to swap stories!

I sat down (virtually) with Chris Kaspar, founder of Techless and creator of the Wisephone, to tackle one of today's biggest struggles—smartphone addiction. But this time, it's about adults (not kids). We dive into how constant connectivity is affecting parents, why intentional tech use is more crucial than ever, and how the Wisephone is reshaping the way families interact with technology. Chris shares his journey in creating a device designed for digital wellness, offering a real alternative to traditional smartphones. We also discuss the impact of screen time on mental health, the future of tech in education, and the push for safer social media. If you've ever felt like your phone is running your life, this episode is for you!I have been testing out a Wisephone, personally! Here is my announcement and Day 1 recap.Chris is the CEO & founder of Techless, an innovative tech startup that created Wisephone, a pure & simple phone for intentional people. 

I'm giving up my iPhone (for a healthier phone). For the next 30 days, I will be forgoing my iPhone for a Wisephone. My goals are to be more present with my kids, find better screen time balance and improve my need to be productive at all times. To slow down! I will be documenting this process in real-time and sharing @Scrolling2Death on Instagram, for parents who are interested in alternative phones. I chose the Wisephone for this test because it is the most advanced, intentional phone for adults. It has all the things I need, but none of the apps that can addict me. No, I'm not sponsored! Just curious. I'd love to hear from any parents who have tried alternative phones like the Wisephone, The Light Phone or others...to swap stories! I'm sure there will be bumps in the road but I am really looking forward to this change.

Do you always need to be productive, even when you're not at work? As our families and careers grow, responsibilities pile on while time slips away. It's no wonder that we try to maximize efficiency throughout the day. The smartphone seemed like a great solution, offering convenient ways to tackle our mental to-do lists. Amazon order? Done. Email reply? Sent. We've taken multi-tasking to a new level—but at what cost? Your claimed efficiency is diminishing your presence – especially with the people who matter most. Smartphone devices have trained our brains to always be “on.” A constant barrage of notifications, emails, and texts, along with the urge to check off tasks during our “downtime,” have replaced moments of rest, creativity, and reflection. But how do you define “downtime” now? While your kids are playing on the playground? Shouldn't we prioritize our presence with them—watching our kids play or even joining them—rather than trying to be productive every minute of the day? Listen to a compelling conversation about the pros & cons of ditching the smartphone for a “healthier phone” to create a better balance in life.

How many times have you told your kids to put down their phones and pay attention to something?How many times could someone else have said the same thing to you?In this episode, we're chatting with two tech founders – Chris Kaspar and Heath Wilson – about how they're using entrepreneurial initiatives to redeem technology and help us better focus on the things that matter.Chris does this through his company, Techless, and their “Wisephone,” a beautifully-designed, highly-functional phone that gives you everything you need and nothing you don't. Heath does it through “Aro” a platform that's helping families put down their phones and be fully present. They join us today to talk about the particular challenges entrepreneurs face with technology and how they're uniquely positioned to solve them. Let's dive in.

God in Tech Just before the advent of the smartphone, it was reported that former US Education Secretary Bill Bennet said, “America is rapidly becoming the kind of nation that civilized nations send missionaries to.” For those who heard Mr. Bennett's comment, it would have been hard for them to believe the kind of changes that would occur in America over the next 15 years. Smartphones have become a cultural change agent and maybe have even broken down the American Dream and culture. Those change agents seem to have gotten the drop on those who would otherwise use the internet for good. As we head into Easter it's a good time to ask the question, “does scripture have anything pertinent to say about the digital age and technology that we now have to navigate as parents?” Discussing Tech with Chris Kaspar Chris Kaspar is the founder of Techless an innovative tech start-up that created Wisephone- a pure and simple phone for intentional people. Chris is married to Ciera and is the fun dad of four beautiful daughters. Chris and Ciera have been foster parents for a handful of kids and they live for a deeper purpose. Episode Highlights: How are the 7 deadly sins related to tech? What is the purpose of Techless? What is God's purpose for technology? How does Chris define technology?

When Clinton and Charity Muñoz sought help to overcome a porn addiction, Clinton was told to memorize more scripture and Charity was told to wear him out sexually ...and things got worse. Millennial marriages are vulnerable to pornography like no generation before them  — and there is a lot of bad advice out there. But we have good news! The Muñoz family, Authentic Intimacy, and others are learning to have conversations about sexual addiction that not only point people to Jesus, but to professional help as well. In this episode, Juli invites Clinton to share how their new marriage actually triggered his porn use; Charity admits that she couldn't celebrate Clinton's small victories early on (and why that's OK); and together they explain how healing individually, as a couple, and in community were all crucial components to their recovery.

Technology Use for Good & Evil It seems as though as soon as you get a new computer it has already sneaked in its replacement and it's already out of date. If you're looking for the latest apps for your smartphone, anything you download today will surely be obsolete tomorrow. Now we've often said that technology isn't bad in and of itself. It's a tool that can be used to do great things. But in the wrong hands or when used in the wrong way, some technology can actually be a dangerous weapon. Case in point; smartphones. They represent multiple ways to communicate but they also offer unencumbered access to the internet. We're not fans of that! Discussing the Gabb Wireless Alternative with Anne Marie McDonald Last week we talked with Anne Marie McDonald, Vice President of Public Relations and Strategy at Gabb Wireless. Gabb is a tech company offering not only wireless phone service but also wireless phones. And that suggests that there may be a safe alternative.  How Gabb Can Be a Solution for Your Family Episode Highlights: What is Gabb doing to give parents and children a safe option for families?

The Over-Consumption of Technology By Our Kids Is being ostracized even a wise or valid reason? After all, kids being ostracized is a risk of having or not having or participating or not participating in something all the time.  If our reference point of how to live is what other people think we are all going to be in for a lot of disappointment! However, being ostracized for doing something right can actually result in good things for our kids such as character growth, resilience, grit, integrity, patience, and a stronger resolve to keep doing what's right. Being strong enough to incorporate a safe and wise digital alternative for our kids. There is no reason that any minor should have unencumbered access to his or her own smartphone. This even includes those who use their own money to pay for it. And there is a case to be made for this from the scientific perspective, biblical perspective, relational perspective, logical or psychological perspective, the physical perspective, and the spiritual perspective. But I'm not saying kids should be without phones altogether. It's a safety issue and a convenience. It's a communication issue. But just because smartphones have become a systemic symbol of cultural relevance is not a good reason for giving a minor unfettered access to a smartphone and all that comes with it. We'll be talking about all of this with someone who is doing something about it today on License to Parent. Discussing Technology and Discernment with Anne Marie McDonald Anne Marie is the Vice President of public relations strategy at Gabb Wireless. She manages outreach opportunities to further the education of age-appropriate tech solutions. She frequently speaks about family and tech safety on various podcasts, broadcasts, and webinars that are in line with Gabb's mission. She speaks from the heart on this because Anne Marie and her husband have four children ranging in age from 5 to 15. Talking about Tech with our Family Episode Highlights: As a parent how can I understand good and bad technology and provide effective tools for my family?

Your child wants a phone and you're thinking, "Oh no, I knew this time was coming but I'm not ready." When you hand a child a cell phone, you hand them immediate access to the world, good or bad. There is all the responsibility that goes into a child having constant access to the internet, gaming and all the addictive behaviors that go with having a cell phone. So many parents have no idea where to begin with the control of a phone but they want their child to be able to call them and for them to reach their child.
