About this episode

Alexander Bell discusses the impact of technology on productivity and wellbeing, sharing insights and tips for a healthier relationship with tech.

We are absolutely delighted to welcome Alexander Bell to the How to Thrive podcast this week (no, not Alexander Graham Bell). Alexander is a keynote speaker whose expertise sit at the intersection of technology and productivity - specifically, how our relationship with technology impacts our performance, our wellbeing, and the people we care about most. Having built and sold a Google spin-out agency, he reached a turning point when his then-seven-year-old son Dexter asked for an iPhone for Christmas and turned the tables on him with a question he couldn't answer: "If they're really that bad, why are you and mummy on yours all the time?" That moment set Alexander on a mission to help professionals and parents build a healthier, more intentional relationship with the technology that dominates their lives. We cover peak performance, AI note-takers, and Alexander shares his three top tips for thriving.
