Digital Wellness With Tommy Sobel

Time Off

We chat with Tommy Sobel, the founder of Brick. The Brick movement is a grassroots movement for people who are dissatisfied with their relationship to screens and social media, and who are looking to spend more time engaged in the real world. They throw phone-free events, retreats and private habit coaching for motivated people who want to take control of their phone use. They also challenge our community to turn their phone into a “brick” for a little bit every day, which means to set it down, put it in Brick Mode, and go do something engaging in the real world. 

On this episode, we discuss..

  • The history of The Brick Movement and how Tommy has evolved it
  • How to read 28 books in one year
  • He evaluates me in real-time to assess my own phone dependencies
  • Types of moments in real life that can give your neurochemicals that your smartphone can’t.
  • The topic of making out. You will have to listen in to find out the romantic details. :)
