Sini Ninkovic is my guest on Episode 107 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
After a lifelong struggle with digital dependency, Sini quit his job at Apple to live in a van and begin a long journey toward freedom from technology. But in the process, he learned that the key to inner peace was not found in removing technology from his life, but in rethinking his relationship with it. Along the way, he spoke with countless industry experts, attended intensive meditation retreats, and became a certified Digital Wellness Educator. The tools he discovered were so transformative that sharing them with the world has become his personal mission.
Sini's book Untethered: Overcome Distraction, Build Healthy Digital Habits, and Use Tech to Create a Life will be released in September 2021.
Sini’s family fled Former Yugoslavia in 1992 and found refuge in Austria where he quickly learned the most important skill of his life: adapting to new circumstances. Since then, Sini received an MBA from UC Berkeley and helped companies like BMW, Lucid Motors, and Apple for ten years to release new tech into the world.
