Challenging Big Tech's (Choke)Hold on Our Lives

I'm Not Yelling! I'm Dominican.

Have you ever paused to consider how the very fabric of our lives is intertwined with the technologies we use every day? Unlock the potential to reshape your relationship with technology and bolster your digital agency as Mark Hurst, the founder of Creative Good, joins us for a riveting conversation that looks beyond the glossy surface of tech's impact on our lives. Together, we dissect the ripple effects that Big Tech giants are having on society—encompassing our democracy, privacy, and even our mental health. It's a deep dive into a world where technology operates not just as a utility but as a pervasive force, and we offer candid insights into how to navigate this landscape with intentionality and a critical eye.
This episode is an eye-opener on the lesser-discussed aspects of our digital existence, from the relentless pull of consumerism to the ethical problems posed by constant connectivity. We tackle the intricacies of surveillance capitalism, discussing how companies like Meta, Amazon, and Google monetize our data and infringe upon our private lives. With personal anecdotes and strategies, we muse on striking a balance between engaging with modern conveniences and preserving our environmental and personal ethos. It's a call to action for listeners to reevaluate their tech consumption and make choices that reflect their values, not just market trends.
