How Growing Up Offline Changed the Way We Live Now

A conversation that starts with an annoying iPhone camera turns into us talking about childhood, the way we played, the homes we grew up in, the games we loved and the moments that still influence us now. We get into why “It Takes Two” works so well for couples, what it felt like growing up outside instead of glued to a screen and how that early freedom still shows up in the way we move through our home today.

From there we slide into a real discussion about kids, technology and what it looks like to raise children who know how to think, explore and stay curious without letting screens take over. The more we talk, the more we notice how much your upbringing and your experiences create two completely different patterns that you end up carrying into adulthood. Some you learn from, some you outgrow, and some you finally acknowledge so you can stop repeating them.

Oracle jumps in the entire time and gives us outside perspective on the things we don’t always catch in ourselves.
