This week, he continues that conversation with a simple but powerful challenge: disconnect. In a world where so much of life is lived through screens, Mitch explores what happens when we put down our phones and reconnect with the people, places, and moments right in front of us. An online life is not a real life. Join us as we discuss the value of being present, witnessing the world with your own eyes, and discovering how much brighter life can be when you unplug.
