Susan Reynolds, Executive Director and co-Founder of Lookup.live, chats with us in episode 040 of SHIPS. We discuss Susan's extensive career in tech education, understanding the positives and negatives when using technology, and how crucial it is for us to set daily mindful intentions with how we use technology. We talk about Susan's work with college-aged students and Generation Z, and how she is giving students agency to come to their own mindful conclusions about how they use their tech.
