Ok friends… deep breath…
My guest this week is Joe Hollier, co-founder of Light.
Light just announced the upcoming Lightphone 3 (available for pre-order and shipping January 2025).
We touch on the ethos behind their phones, growing their community over the past 10 years, school case studies like Buckston and more.
Summary
In this conversation, Adam interviews Joe, co-founder of Light Phone, about the journey of creating the Light Phone 3 and the impact of the Light Phone community. They discuss the evolution of the Light Phone from version one to version three, the importance of user feedback, and the diverse community of Light Phone users. They also touch on the sustainability aspect of the Light Phone, the marketing campaign of the Alliance of Big Tech, and the use of Light Phones in schools. The conversation highlights the need for a larger conversation about our relationship with technology.
