Moderation in the Digital Age: Life Beyond the Screen

In a world where digital distractions and societal pressures threaten to consume us, there emerges a beacon of hope. Join me, your host Michael Herst, as we embark on a thought-provoking journey and ask the question: "Can we defy the odds and construct a future where quality of life reigns supreme?"

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Einstein, a faith-based father, husband, sibling, and friend. Jeff’s journey is unlike any other—a digital media pioneer turned apostate. His credentials include pioneering the first major how-to book series on personal computers and establishing the inaugural digital advertising agency back in the mid-1980s. But Jeff’s path took an unexpected turn.

In the early 21st century, Jeff Einstein delved into uncharted territory, exploring what he aptly termed our “default meta-addiction” to all things media and digital. No longer content with the status quo, Jeff challenges us to consider moderation as the key to reclaiming our humanity in the Great Age of Addiction.

Join us for a candid conversation that transcends the ordinary. Discover how Jeff’s unique perspective sheds light on the digital landscape, and why The New York Times once likened him to the Mick Jagger of digital media. Tune in to “One More Thing Before You Go” for insights, inspiration, and a roadmap to restore the quality of life in an increasingly connected world.

Remember, moderation isn’t just a virtue—it’s our lifeline. Stay tuned, and let’s navigate this brave new era together.

Jeff Einstein

Professional Outlier

I’m a faith-based father, husband, sibling, and friend. Also a widely published author, speaker, producer, and digital media pioneer long ago turned digital apostate. College-free, I describe my four-year high school career as the best eight days of my life. Chased out of two different countries by two different military conscriptions (back in the early 1970s when I still had one good knee) with a history of layovers at airports that lasted longer than most of my corporate jobs.

Perhaps because I've never entertained an actual career ambition, my professional life unfolded over the years as a series of accidental but prophetic firsts, starting with Einstein's Computer Guides, the first major how-to book series on personal computers, and Einstein and Sandom Inc., the nation’s first digital advertising agency — both way back in 1984/85. Then came Room Service Hawaii, the nation’s first home-away-from-home cable shopping channel in the early 1990s. Returned to NYC for the Dot Com madness where — ensconced like an outsized Yoda at rooftop designer vodka parties — I introduced Smart Syndication, the first ecommerce syndication network.

The New York Times referred to me in the early 21st century as the Mick Jagger of digital media. Seemed to bear a faint resemblance to a compliment at the time, but now I think it was because — like Mick Jagger — I was the only butt-ugly old coot in an industry full of good looking young hipsters.

I went from digital media pioneer to digital apostate in 2004 — some years before Youtube and Netflix and Facebook… Read More
