Summary
In this episode, Anthony and Olaolu dive into how AI and algorithms are reshaping our attention spans, reading habits, and family dynamics. They unpack practical ways to reclaim focus—rituals like saying “transition,” setting phone boundaries, and Olaolu’s “closed-door policy.” The conversation moves from doomscrolling to deep reading, and from distracted parenting to intentional connection through story time, book-club-style reading with teens, and simple daily check-ins (“tea time”). You’ll leave with concrete strategies to manage tech, model healthy habits for your kids, and rebuild creativity and connection at home.
