Social media is fu*%ing up our brains.
Ask yourself this question: do you spend more time looking at other people's memories on your phone, or more time creating your own memories in real life?
When I think about this question, I have to admit that it's probably 50/50... which is a gut punch when I really reflect upon it.
My next guest on the Undefeated Marketing podcast is Joey Odom, co-founder of Aro, which helps families put down their phones to spend more time together.
How does Aro work, how do they market their company? How are they unique in the marketplace? Oh, and what did Joey do after I bought an Aro that prompted me to proactively reach out and invite him on my podcast? We discuss it all.
In addition, this is an incredibly important product in today's market that helps people understand their relationship with their phones (I am not paid by Aro and have no affiliation with them - I'm just a fan of their business because it resonates with me).
It reminds me of a quote from my friend and mentor, Keith Cunningham - he says that in life we always have a choice, "You can proactively take the vitamin to be healthy and avoid pain, or you can reactively take the Advil - after the pain has occurred. Which will you choose?"
Is your phone behavior like taking a vitamin or an Advil?
If you feel like you are addicted to your phone, listen to this episode to learn how you can change your behavior patterns to be healthier with it and create more memories of your own.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
