The Tech Wise Tribe Podcast: StoryConnect

Three Words: Tech Wise Tribe w/ DMB #1

Are you using technology, or is technology using you? In this episode, Dr. Michael Brown (DMB Coaching) helps lay the foundation for the "Tech Wise Tribe." He argues that our relationship with our devices is a choice, not a circumstance, and that true wellness requires us to resist the pull of the digital world to invest in real-life relationships. Dr. Brown and host Paul Heminger discuss the difference between being "fully present" and "fully alive," the 12 dimensions of wellness, and the vital importance of being seen, heard, and loved within a community. The Tech Wise Tribe is a collective impact initiative of StoryConnect, lighting the path to some of the expert guides who help us resist technology’s pull, become well, and restore life, together. They share stories, tools, and habits that guide you deeper into your tech wise journey.

You and your family head out for a bike ride through the neighborhood. Five hundred homes. Silence. No laughter in the backyards. No one shooting hoops out front. Just stillness. Later that evening, you walk into a restaurant. In one corner, a young couple—soon to be married—sits together… but both are on their phones. Across the room, an older couple does the same. A family of five—each lost in their own screen. At the bar, one customer scrolls endlessly… and even the hostess checks her device between guests. And what about your own life? What do you notice when you look at your spouse? Your kids? Your parents? Your friends? And—maybe more important—what do they see when they look at you? We’re all living in the same moment— hyperconnected to our screens… and quietly disconnected from each other. The Tech Wise Tribe Podcast is part of a greater movement helping us find our way back. We interview guides who share stories, tools, and habits that help us resist technology’s pull, become well, and restore life—together. The Tech Wise Tribe book is a companion—a relational read meant for pairs, groups, and networks. About 100 pages, three chapters: Tech. Wise. Tribe. Each one ends with an invitation to have a real conversation. Powered by the nonprofit StoryConnect, every act of generosity—one-time or monthly—helps free lives from the grip of technology and transform relationships in homes, neighborhoods, restaurants, and entire regions.

And if we do this together, we won’t just resist the pull of technology… we’ll restore what matters most.”
