Reducing Smartphone Addiction | The Light Phone | Modern Wisdom 010
Kai Wei is the CEO of www.TheLightPhone.com
I continue our journey into the world of smartphone addiction by finding out about a new piece of technology whose goal is to be used as little as possible. It may seem like Kai is running against the grain by offering a product with the aim to be absent from our lives rather than a part of them, but it kind of makes sense.
Expect to learn if the problem of too much technology can be fixed with more technology, why you shouldn't ever have your phone on the table at dinner and how being bored can be the most creative time of your week.
BT Urruela is a US Army Combat Wounded Veteran, Elective Amputee, Author, Cover Model and Co-Founder of VETSports.
BT's life sounds like a movie script. From childhood abuse, to joining the US Army Infantry, being hit with 5 IEDs on his first tour in Iraq, going through rehab, electing to lose a limb, dealing with the horrors of PTSD, reintegration, ART Therapy, finding a purpose starting a sports league for combat wounded veterans and now becoming a best selling author & cover model.
His crazy, emotional and compelling tale sounds like a story from one of his books, but it’s actually his real life. I always knew that if I had a broadcasting platform I wanted to get this story out there, and 2 years later I’ve finally recorded a podcast with him so here we go...
Enjoy the most powerful episode so far.

This week I'm sitting down with CrossFit coaches, athletes, programmers, nutritionists and all round good guys Jordan Wallace, Paul Warrior and Tim Briggs.
I absolutely loved recording this, despite being behind one of the UK's top CrossFit Programming Companies, the guys do not take themselves too seriously and it really shows in one of the funniest episodes so far. Expect to learn the key differences between good and great athletes, how your body type can be used to play to your strengths in fitness and how to get blood and semen out of joggers.

Jonny and Yusef from PropaneFitness.com join me as we discuss the topic of phone addiction. The problem of excessive tech use is almost universally acknowledged by pretty much anyone with a smartphone, but very few of us are aware of the teams of software engineers, warehouses of supercomputers and decades of research goes into manipulating you to click that link, watch that video or download that app.
An argument is often made that technology is neutral and that it is our decision of how we use it, but our phone's intrusion into our lives is so calculated and manipulative that the deck is stacked firmly against us making a choice we're fully in control of. I genuinely believe that Humane Technology and Ethical Persuasion will be a huge topic over the coming years, hopefully we can kickstart your interest into the subject here...
On this episode, learn the tactics used by social media websites to manipulate you to stay on site, discover our favourite strategies for taking back control of your phone use and find out why you definitely shouldn't buy a dildo on Facebook Marketplace.

Michael Cazayoux is the CEO of BruteStrengthTraining.com, 2-Times CrossFit Games Team Champion and coach behind some of the best athletes on the planet.
This definitely ranks as one of the most powerful episodes so far and Michael's story is so extreme it almost sounds like fiction. From taking his first drink of alcohol at 9 years old, to drug dependency in his teens, through rehab, to relapse, to sobriety, and then to winning the CrossFit Games twice, and now having created one of the most well regarded coaching companies in the world. He is a living example of what can be done with the willpower to face and overcome our demons.
Expect to find out the real costs of addiction, how living with virtue and telling the truth can literally save your life, and what it takes to go from an addict to a champion. Also find out why he's having to take showers in his friends' house at the moment!

Yusef from PropaneFitness.com joins me as we navigate the perilous waters of cutting for a holiday.
We've all been there. Drilling our diet into the ground on 800kcals a day only to see our condition evaporate in the sunshine as soon as we look at a Corona or take a mouthful of that first hungover Burger King.
Expect to find out our hard-learned solutions after years of making errors during a summer cut, get a grip on a training protocol and calorie deficit which allows you to still function pre-holiday, and learn the optimal weekly weight loss target you should be aiming for to safely lose fat.

I caught up with Director of The CrossFit Games Dave Castro at the Launch of Reebok's new Nano 8, as he announced Open Workout 18.0.

Find out how he deals with the pressure of programming for half a million people, which Games Athletes he doesn't want to meet in The Hunger Games and whether that new burpee standard will be in this year's open...
