Explore how Troomi is helping parents stay connected while setting healthy boundaries—because safer tech leads to stronger families.

"Troomi is the kids safe phone for digital wellness and positive mental health." --Bill Brady

In this episode, I sat down with Bill Brady, co-founder and CEO of Troomi—a kid-safe smartphone alternative designed with both connection and protection in mind. We dive into the why behind Troomi, exploring how it aims to give parents peace of mind through powerful features like integrated upstream prevention tools and a uniquely intuitive parent dashboard that goes beyond what most of us knew was possible.

Bill shares inspiring and eye-opening stories that will both warm your heart and make you pause—because this is not just about tech; it’s about raising kids in a world that’s changing fast. As parents, we are in a defining moment where being informed isn’t optional—it’s essential. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to tech and teens, which is why knowing your options matters more than ever.

We also touch on themes from The Anxious Generation, especially the importance of encouraging real-life risk-taking and reducing screen dependency—at home and in our schools. This conversation took place just before the More Social, Less Media summit, so we also unpack the importance of creating more real-world, social experiences for kids and teens.

Whether you're curious about safer tech solutions or looking to understand how entrepreneurial thinking can shape a better future for our children—this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
