I was invited to give a talk on the BOLD state at INBOUND14, HubSpot's annual conference. In my talk I launched #DinnerMode, a new national movement to put down our phones at dinner and enjoy the food we're eating and the people we're eating with. These slides tell the story of how I came to this idea and the journey I was on before launch.

3. Addicted
We are addicted to
our devices. We
are constantly
connected.

4. #INBOUND14
Being Present
We are not living in
the moment when
we’re always
rushing to the next
thing.

5. Spark
Creativity
We need to spend
time away from
technology to
recharge our
systems.

6. #INBOUND14
Abundance
We aren’t
appreciating what
we’re consuming.
