Life Before Tech vs Now: Finding Real Connection

Are you caught between the simplicity of life before smartphones and the always-on reality we live in today? In this solo episode of The Men of the House Podcast, I explore the tension between growing up in an unplugged Gen X world and navigating today’s hyper-connected digital culture.

I dive into how different generations—Gen X and Gen Z—experience technology, question who truly lived “before tech took over,” and reflect on why nostalgia hits so hard for so many of us.

You’ll hear candid stories from unexpected encounters with public figures like Nick Fuentes and Elon Musk, and how those moments reshaped the way I think about influence, culture, and connection.

But this episode isn’t just about screens—it’s about human connection. I share a heartfelt moment with my daughter as we bonded over music, reminding us all that no matter how advanced technology becomes, some experiences remain timeless.

If you’ve ever felt torn between loving technology and longing for the simplicity of the past, this conversation will hit home. Tune in for a grounded, honest reflection that just might change how you see your relationship with tech.
