Your Phone Is Ruining Your Memory

Every time we’re bored, we reach for it. The glowing rectangle. The endless scroll. But what if our phones aren’t just killing our focus, they’re quietly erasing our memory? In this video, I explore how constant distraction rewires the way we think, why our brains are offloading more than we realize, and what happens when we finally start giving our attention a chance to remember again. New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please
