We're Scrolling Ourselves to Death | Larz May
Notes de l’épisode
The average person picks up their phone 150 times a day, and 55% of us are still answering emails after 11pm. On this week's #FQBroadlines, hosts Rae Williams and Natalie Lizarraga sit down with Larz May, digital wellness activist and founder of Half the Story and Gingko, to unpack what our always-on culture is actually doing to our brains, and why she believes it could be as serious as scrolling ourselves to death.
From the burnout that nearly took her life, to the difference between a "boundary" and a "hard line," to why AI should be your GPS and not your engine, Larz breaks down the line between active and passive screen time, and why teens respond to joy instead of fear. She also opens up about her new partnership with Girls Inc, backed by Oprah, Melinda French Gates, and Meghan Markle, and her new company Gingko, built to help parents turn their kids' screen time into real-world passions.
Stay for the "f*ck yes or f*ck no" round, where Larz gets brutally honest about her own phone habits.
You'll never look at your phone the same way again.
