In this episode of Abnormal, I sit down with Hector Hughes, co-founder and CEO of Unplugged. Hector shares his personal journey of transformation from a troubled past to creating a wellness-focused business. The conversation delves into the challenges of disconnecting from technology, the importance of mental health, and the profound experiences guests have during their three-day retreats. Hector breaks down the need for rest and reflection in a fast-paced world, and discusses the cultural impact of Unplugged as it seeks to redefine our relationship with technology and nature.
