Pacific Northwest leader Christopher Michael Mottino encourages professionals and families to disconnect from constant noise and reconnect through intentional vinyl listening.
Pacific Northwest - April 30, 2026 - Corporate Account Manager and community advocate Christopher Michael Mottino is launching a new personal initiative focused on something simple but powerful: slowing down.

The pledge, called "Analog Evenings," encourages individuals and families to dedicate time each week to listening to vinyl records without distractions.

In a world of constant notifications and background noise, Mottino believes focused listening builds patience, presence, and stronger connections.

"Preparation, teamwork, discipline," he says. "Those fundamentals still win. And you build them in small, daily habits."

For him, vinyl collecting is more than a hobby. It is practice in attention.

"When you put a record on, you commit to it," Mottino explains. "You don't skip every 20 seconds. You sit with it."

Why This Matters Now

Attention spans are shrinking. Distraction is constant.

*
The average adult checks their phone nearly 100 times per day.

*
Americans spend over 7 hours per day on screens for entertainment and work.

*
Streaming platforms encourage rapid skipping and short-form consumption.

*
Vinyl record sales have grown for 17 consecutive years, showing renewed interest in intentional listening.

Mottino sees a connection between focused listening and focused leadership.

"Success is consistency," he says. "You don't build it in one big moment. You build it daily."

He believes vinyl creates space for reflection.

"In business, you reset and move forward," he explains. "Music does the same thing. You listen. You pause. You reflect."

The "Analog Evenings" Personal Pledge

Christopher Michael Mottino is committing to the following seven actions:

*
Host one distraction-free vinyl listening session per week.

*
Keep phones off during record playback.

*
Listen to at least one full album start to finish each week.

*
Share one record from his collection with family or friends each month.

*
Discuss themes or lessons from the music after each session.

*
Support local record stores when expanding his collection.

*
Dedicate at least one evening per month to music and conversation only.

"You don't rush a record," he says. "That mindset carries over into work."
