Welcome to the new chapter of the SMS Podcast.In this episode, I share a recap of the past year of my life and why this podcast is coming back with a different perspective. I talk about returning to social media — but with purpose. I redownloaded Instagram for professional reasons while serving as the KU Baseball announcer last season, and I used X as a tool to get information faster and stay connected to what mattered.In this episode we cover:• What led to the podcast revamp• How my relationship with social media changed this year• Using platforms intentionally vs. mindlesslyThat experience changed how I see phones and social media. This podcast is no longer about telling people to delete everything — it’s about learning how to use these tools without letting them use you.The mission of the SMS Podcast is simple: scroll smarter, not suffer harder.Your phone isn’t the enemy — unhealthy habits are.If you’ve ever felt distracted, drained, or stuck in the scroll cycle, this show is for you.Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SocialMediaSobrietyPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/socialmediasobrietypodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@smsobrietypodcast?lang=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-bermundo-6b3690226/
