Digital Overwhelm and Workplace Communication Culture w/ Dr. Craig Mattson

What do you do when work feels terriblre and you feel powerless?

Dr. Craig Mattson is an Organizational Researcher and Communications Professor at Calvin University.

He is the Author of a recent book Digital Overwhelm (2024) and Host of The Mode/Switch Substack Podcast.

We’re tackling burnout, salary issues, workplace pettiness, working when the world is on fire, generational workplace divides & more. 

Dr. Mattson doesn’t offer decluttering tips or radical solutions. Instead, he shows how to navigate digital overwhelm by "mode-switching"—changing how you communicate where tech and stress collide.

Listen as Dr. Mattson draws on new theory and ancient wisdom to help you transform the intensities of modern work. Each chapter gives you a workshop to tackle real problems like Zoom fatigue, writing authentic emails, and staying productive. Work doesn’t have to sweep you under, if you learn to ride out the waves.
