321. Welcome aboard tonight. We had a lot of fun. It should be an dissipated by now. Uh Quite beautiful, broken goose skies should be able to see all the mountains. It will be under way here shortly. Please enjoy the trip, Sean, you and I met up not long ago at the T Mobile HQ in Seattle for a team offsite. Honestly, since we started working together almost two years ago in person. Meetings have been pretty few and far between. Yeah, but Jason, I have to admit, you know, that's why I was big mad that you had planned a trip to New Orleans literally right up against my cross country travels because a girl expects a pike place fish market dinner when you're traveling from New York to Seattle. Just be aware of that. You've got a dungeon in your future. We're doing this bonus teaser because a lot has happened since we taped the last episode. And as we're working on the next episode and a lot of what's happened has to do with travel even just a couple of months ago. You know, I booked that trip, it was like 300 bucks round trip, I went to go look and what, only a couple of months later and it was like $1200. I mean, things have really, really ramped up. It's, it's a totally different world. In fact, things have become more complicated as we're adding this new layer of digital. Yeah, I mean, on my phone, I booked a ride share. I booked a last minute hotel which I had not done for New Orleans yet and then downloading my boarding pass and checking right through right there on my mobile phone, all of it. But I mean to be fair though, my trip to New Orleans was planned well ahead of our off A T mobile, but I did feel a little guilty that I was catching an early morning flight while you were still back working, overseeing a shoot before your own flight back to New York. Hey, Sean, it's Jason. I somehow made it to the airport on time. I also know that you have an early start to your day. So I just wanted to wish you luck and also wish you a safe flight later today. Also a flight that I would later learn was somewhat doomed and by doomed, you mean canceled after being on the tarmac for an hour? Yeah, I would say that was doomed. And what's funny is like as you're talking to me about your experience, I hooked up my laptop, my editing equipment, my DS L R camera my mobile phone all next to a charging station at the airport and I'm downloading video interviews and b roll and to all my mobile tech just so I could work on the go and I'm checking in with you the whole time about this too, sending you voice notes. Hey, Jason, I am currently setting up a little station here at the airport with my editing gear. And what I think is really great is as I'm doing this and thinking about the work that I'm doing on the go, I'm watching it happening around me. I will text you when I land. Everybody. I'm looking at at the airport are on their phones, booking rebooking flights, working in some way. Thanks to their mobile technology and it's like the role of the travel agent seems to have disappeared in a lot of ways. And it brought to my topic that you've been wanting to cover on mobile diaries, which is the evolution of travel and travel tech trends. Yeah. Mobile Diaries is our new podcast from t-mobile stories based on the countless articles we've done and written since the start of the pandemic. Largely on this topic. We've coined mobile mindfulness, right, Shana. Yeah, it's like how people are intentionally using their mobile devices and how that's changed since we're coming out of the pandemic. And I love to see how people are getting so creative with the way that they're doing this so far. We have interviewed work specialist who's helping to pave the way for a new category of digital nomads in the over 50 demographic. Yeah. And we talked to a dating expert from plenty of fish about how mobile dating really evolved during the pandemic in a lot of like, truly surprising ways. Yeah, it's incredible to hear how common these apps have become even when things are opening back up after all the lockdowns and extreme isolation and it has to do with the intention behind our devices and how we're using them and how that's changed. Yeah. And we even going to the other end of the spectrum, we talked to a search and rescue expert and an outdoor writer and photographer about how to embrace mobile mindfulness while out in the wild and literally how your mobile phone just might save your life, no big deal and B day. So, you know, after our big travel experiences, um we're setting our sights now on that new travel trends episode that's coming up next. Oh man, I'd be absolutely helpless without traveling without my phone. You know, I rely on it. And I think, you know, you might remember even back in February when my phone went Kaput when I was in Mexico could put by, by me. You mean drowned. Yeah, death by fool. But you know, everything was a QR code, not just menus but getting my COVID test results. And really you realize just how reliant we are on mobile devices, especially in this world of traveling, how much things have changed for what we'll call here, the connected traveler, everything from the prevalence of in flight wifi to roaming five G data. It's not just about convenience anymore. It's literally the only way to make things practically work because of the systems that have been set up around using your mobile tech. So we're gonna be talking to a travel writer to, to get into some of the newest digital travel tech trends. Someone that has a lot of data on this has been following it. So we can get some expert insights on just where things are, how they've changed coming out of COVID with us all being dependent on our mobile devices. And I'm hoping that by interviewing these experts, it's going to make people sailing a little bit smoother but also doing a little future casting as to where this is all headed. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, time is of the essence because after our experiences at these airports recently we've seen for ourselves, it is so busy, it's going fast. We got to like figure this out and untangle it. So if you guys have a trip coming up, I just want to say to our audience, you're gonna want to catch this episode when it drops next week and you can expect it at a regular time and you actually have a trip coming up, right? I do, I'm excited. I'm gonna be hitting the road doing a little American driving summer vacation. You know, I'm a little nervous but everything that I'm doing is using my mobile phone. I'll be checking in with my mobile phone. I'll be opening doors with my mobile phone literally to our where we're staying and getting beach passes through my mobile phone. I mean literally nothing but my phone is kind of all I need. I'm excited. I'll be reporting with two kids, please. God, save me. Just do me a favor and don't be checking in at work. Ok, I want your phone, I promise. Ok. Well, till then happy trails to everyone out there. Safe travels to you and your family sea. Thank you so much and everyone, we're gonna report back soon with more from our mobile diaries. Well, it took only 20 minutes. Everyone's miserable. The wheels on the bus. No, don't think.
