Jillian Richardson is on a mission to make the world less lonely. She's the founder of The Joy List (a weekly newsletter featuring events in NYC where you can "come alone and leave with a friend), a connection coach, a group facilitator, and the author of Unlonely Planet: How Healthy Congregations Can Change the World.
This interview was one of the most fun, thought-provoking, and useful interviews I've done to date. We discuss:
- How to build and maintain community during a global pandemic
- How to instantly find your tribe when you move to a new city
- Why Jillian has devoted her life to reducing loneliness
- The most "radically different" events Jillian has attended (this part is gold)
- Incorporating ritual into friendship
- Plutonic touch and cuddle parties
- What we've lost due to the decline of organized religion, and how we can get it back
