In this conversation, Ryan and Vic welcome Susan Clark—founder of heartspark and the creator of Ignite the Spark—to explore what actually makes relationships meaningful. We talk intimacy (beyond romance), why vulnerability creates safety, and how “the energy between us” matters more than hours logged. Susan shares stories from decades of community-building, plus research notes on how friendships form and endure. You’ll hear simple, powerful practices to deepen connection with the people who make you more you.
