“I want to make sure I don’t miss a second of connectedness to the brands I’m representing. In the digital world, there’s always this feeling that if you don’t respond back—it’s a lost opportunity. If someone is talking to you, you have to answer or they might think you don’t care. If a client asks my opinion, and I don’t reply ‘I agree with that’—he might ask someone else. My paycheck depends on always being connected. So there’s always a screen in front of me. I’m always responding to ‘pings’ and ‘dings.’ But it has a lot of consequences. Especially on my family. My kids are growing up, and the moments I should be focusing on are happening all around me. So that’s where I am right now. I want to figure out how technology and innovation can give me more time with my family, not less.”
