What Distraction Is Doing to Our Lives

Описание: Nine years ago, Joey Odom almost got into a fight with a stranger in the world’s busiest airport when a single sentence shattered the moment and changed everything: “My dad just died.” That encounter revealed to him how easily digital distraction can blind people to the pain and humanity right in front of them. This talk challenges listeners to look up, live with greater intention, and rediscover the meaningful life happening on the other side of their phones.
