Tiffany Shlain

We live in a world more hyper-connected than ever, courtesy of any number of digital leashes, but is that really a good thing? Many studies show that the incessant connectivity, exposure to light, messes with humans in more ways than one. Which is what makes this episode so interesting. A conversation with someone who advocates disconnecting – regularly – and has been doing so for 12 years. What’s interesting about that? The person, Tiffany Shlain, is one of the most influential voices from Silicon Valley. Founder of the Webby Awards, award-winning filmmaker, sought after public speaker, author – and advocate of the tech-free Shabbat. Her book, 24/6, explores the way that an ancient practice of stillness can still exist in today’s digitally saturated world. Oh, and she also is now inspired by the newest edition to her family – Rosie, a 70-pound Goldendoodle. I caught up with Tiffany as part of the inaugural Unleashed Leadership Summit. This week’s episode is part of our conversation.

What motivates people? Why do they do what they do? What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world.
