Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series .. On this episode, we talk with Author & Founder of OFFLINE, Howard Lewis .. A true Renaissance thinker, Howard began his career in the stock market at just 18, co-founded Thesaurus (now Invaluable), and went on to become Director of the Schorr Collection, one of the UK’s most distinguished private art collections. He later launched OFFLINE — a London-based dinner series designed to bring people together for meaningful conversation away from digital distractions. His new book, Leave Your Phone at the Door: The Joy of OFFLINE, explores the art of genuine connection in an overconnected world. From his base in London, we dive into his fascinating story and mission.
