Hey fellow screen-weary parent,

Ever notice how your toddler’s been trying to tell you something important… but you're knee-deep in a Slack thread or scrolling TikTok mindlessly?

Or maybe it’s your significant other.

Or worse… both?

Yeah. Us too.

There's a kind of invisible tension that creeps in at the dinner table. You feel it when your kid’s voice hits that “hey-you’re-not-listening” pitch, and you realize you’ve been making eye contact with your phone for the last 12 minutes.

That’s why we made something new.

📵 Introducing: The 7-Day Digital Disconnect Challenge

It’s free.

It’s simple.

It’s designed by two dads who are very much still in the thick of it—but tired of being half-present.

We built it live on the pod this week (yes, with interruptions from coughing kids and distracted sauna rants), and now it’s fully produced and ready for you.

And while you’re at it, check out today’s episode where we literally built the first draft of the 19-page Digital Disconnect Challenge LIVE on the podcast.

Less Scroll, More Presence

The 7-Day Digital Disconnect Challenge isn’t about deleting your apps and becoming a candlelit monk. It’s for the parents who:

• Still need tech to survive (hi, we’re in Slack 24/7 too)

• Want their kids to remember them laughing at dinner, not hunched over a screen

• Are craving real connection with their families without it feeling like another to-do

Inside, you’ll get tiny daily rituals—like the “Phone Basket” (soon to be famous in our house)—plus convo prompts that actually work with kids.

The entire thing is science-backed and I think a really, really fun challenge to try with the whole family.

The Messy, Honest, Live Build

The best thing about this challenge is that it went from idea to riff to conversation to live build to reality all during episode 25 of Two Dads in Tech.

Well, kind of… in reality we took what was built during the episode and spent a LOT of time polishing it and making it perfect.

And what’s awesome is that as we did research to back each day’s challenge with science, we realized just how much research there is linking family health with technology downtime!

Turns out, even small changes (like putting your phone in another room during LEGOs) create huge and lasting emotional connection with you and your kids.

We’re Right There With You

We love tech. Built our lives on it. But when our kids look up and see us staring at a screen more than their faces—it’s time for a pause.

Not forever. Just enough to reconnect.

Because the goal isn’t to be perfect parents. It’s to be present ones.

Try it for a week.

Just start with dinner tonight. You might be amazed what happens when the phones go in the basket—and your kid goes, “Wait, you’re not checking your email?”

See you next week—hopefully with fewer scrolls and more eye contact with your spouse and kids.
