Communication and digital wellness took center stage on Rising Tides Live as Marisa Cali filled in for Shawn Walchef and led a conversation on our relationship with technology. Operators, entrepreneurs, and creators shared real experiences navigating constant connectivity and the challenge of staying present. A clear theme emerged: technology is a powerful tool, but without intention, it can take control of our time and attention. When leaders set boundaries and prioritize presence, communication improves and leadership becomes more focused, human, and effective.
