Human connection - The Super Power We All Have

In this episode, we talk to Pete Bombaci, who in 2016 launched The GenWell Project, a Human Connection Movement. The mission of The GenWell Project is to make the world a happier and healthier place by educating, empowering, and catalyzing people around the importance of proactive face-to-face social connection as an action we can all take for our health, happiness, longevity, and the betterment of society.   We talked about a few topics including: The new Social Connection Framework from the Surgeon General The benefits of a connected individual  The benefits of a connected society and community The negative implications of social isolation, disconnection and loneliness  The global impact and importance of the growing loneliness epidemic - Japan and UK now have Ministers of/for Loneliness. The concept of ‘going first’ really resonated with us to just take that first step, send that message or invite and start the conversation. We appreciated how GenWell allows us to ‘give each other permission’ to reach out and connect and also to receive the invitation to get out there and be social. Join us for the next GenWell event, we will definitely be there!
