1KHO 668: How Much Uninterrupted Time Can You Get With The People You Love | Ben Gillenwater, Family IT Guy

The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

In this episode, Ginny Yurich talks with cybersecurity expert and longtime IT professional Ben Gillenwater about what actually changed when the internet moved into kids’ pockets and why so many parents feel unequipped to respond.

Ben brings decades of experience working with complex systems and translates it into clear, usable guidance for families: where the real risks are, why common “parental controls” often fail, and how addictive algorithms, anonymous chat, and AI are reshaping childhood in ways we can’t ignore. This conversation is practical, honest, and focused on reclaiming attention, safety, and uninterrupted time with the people we love.
