Jay Vidyarthi: Clowning Around with Technology
In this episode of the Clown Spirit Podcast, I chat with Jay Vidyarthi, a meditator, tech enthusiast, designer, entrepreneur, and author of the book 'Reclaim Your Mind: Seven Strategies to Enjoy Tech Mindfully.' Jay discusses the attention economy, the concept of translating digital engagement into human connections, and the need for boundaries and self-awareness in tech usage. The conversation touches on the deeper role of clowning in addressing human emotions, the importance of confronting discomfort, and the playfulness required to navigate modern life. Jay also shares personal anecdotes about the challenges of promoting his book and balancing different identities. The episode emphasizes joy, authenticity, and the fearless spirit of clowning as tools for a healthier, more mindful relationship with technology.
