Summary

In this episode, host of Unlocked Savannah Chrisley interviews author, speaker, and storyteller Carlos Whittaker. The pair start by touching on how they have many mutual friends and don't know how they haven't met yet as they both live in Nashville and will both be competing in the same charity pickleball tournament later this year. Savannah asks Carlos about his upcoming book "Reconnected: How 7 Screen-Free Weeks with Monks and Amish Farmers Helped Me Recover the Lost Art of Being Human" Carlos tells the fascinating story of what it was like to go without screens for 7 weeks, what it has taught him, and so much more! ABOUT CARLOS: Carlos Whittaker is bringing hope to humans all over the world. And he’s pretty good at it: he’s an author, podcaster, and global speaker backed by the power of a massive Instafamilia, his enthusiastic social followers who tune in daily to join forces with Carlos to find connection, do good, and be in community. When Carlos enters a room, he makes people feel seen. His super power is creating spaces online and in person—where people are safe to engage in conversation about the topics that matter most but are often avoided. His motto: don’t stand on issues, walk with people. That’s the professional stuff—but all day every day, Carlos is a family man. He and his wife Heather live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their three amazing children, where you can find them working on the family farm, planning trips around the world, and dancing to Single Ladies (seriously, Google it).
