Summary
In today’s episode, I sat down with Tom Campbell to talk about something we all feel but rarely slow down long enough to name. His book Gotta Look Up has been sitting with me for weeks, because it touches on something so many of us are struggling with distraction, disconnection, and forgetting what really matters in the rush of everyday life. Tom shares the moment that inspired this book, the stories that shaped him, and the lessons he hopes to pass down through the generations. We talk about the power of storytelling, why lived experience is one of the greatest teachers we have, and how the smallest memories often become the biggest breadcrumbs we leave behind. If you’ve been moving so fast that life feels like a blur, or if you’ve ever wondered what moments you might be missing while you’re looking down instead of up, this conversation will land exactly where it needs to. In this episode: Why our stories carry wisdom that data and information never will How distraction steals presence, connection, and meaning Parenting in a digital world and the “home run moments” we cannot afford to miss Redefining success through the idea of “enough” What it really means to leave breadcrumbs and blaze your own trail Grab a copy of Tom's book Gotta Look Up Connect with Tom on Instagram @tom_campbell24 Gotta Look Up on Instagram @gotta_look_up
