In this episode of the Finding Arizona Podcast, Talmage Erickson—also known as The Screen Guy—dives into the real impact of screen time and social media on mental health, relationships, and daily life. Drawing from his own experience of intentionally limiting phone use from a young age, Talmage shares how constant connectivity can fuel anxiety, distraction, and disconnection through dopamine-driven habits. The conversation explores practical strategies for creating healthier digital routines, including simple habit shifts like the “30/30 rule,” grayscale settings, and being more intentional with screen use.
