We’re more connected than ever—and somehow lonelier than ever, too. In this episode, I unpack the weird paradox of modern work life: constant digital connection but a deep lack of real community. Spoiler alert: this disconnect isn’t just hurting feelings—it’s wrecking productivity, leadership, and business as we know it.
I dig into how leaders can create trust, empathy, and shared purpose in their teams without falling into the trap of performative connection. Because let’s be honest, Slack channels and ping-pong tables aren’t building real culture. It’s time to shift from outdated business models to a more human-centered, collaborative approach that actually works.
