From 14,000 Feet, I Saw What Phones Are Really Costing Us | Jason Dennen
What does it take to see how much we're losing to our screens?
For Jason Dennen, it took a near-fatal skydiving accident at 14,000 feet to understand the true cost.
But this isn't just another story about phones - it's about the raw courage it takes to face uncomfortable truths, the determination to push past what others say is possible, and the perseverance to rebuild everything when life crashes around you.
Through his remarkable journey of recovery and transformation, Jason reveals how facing death gave him a crystal-clear view of what matters.
He shares powerful insights about the difference between motivation (which fades) and discipline (which prevails), why real courage means being terrified and moving forward anyway, and how belief in yourself trumps any doctor's prediction.
Whether you're feeling disconnected, facing your own challenges, or simply sensing there's more to life than what's on your screen, Jason's perspective-shifting story offers a wake-up call about reclaiming what matters most.
