In this episode, I sit down with Josh Kosnick for a powerful conversation about connection and what we lose when screens replace real human interaction. Josh brings deep insight as a coach and human being who understands how isolation quietly impacts mental health, emotional regulation, and our sense of meaning. Together, we explore why humans are wired for presence, how the pandemic revealed the true cost of disconnection, and why choosing people over convenience is not sentimental but essential for well being and longevity. Key takeaways: Why isolation is not neutral and how it directly affects mental health, stress, and emotional stability The biological and psychological reasons face to face connection matters more than digital communication What the pandemic revealed about loneliness, depression, and the human need for daily interaction How small consistent habits can rebuild connection without overwhelming your schedule Practical ways to be present without trying to fix or rescue the people you care about Why inviting others, even when they say no, is a meaningful act of leadership and love This episode is for leaders, parents, coaches, high performers, and anyone who feels stretched thin, distracted, or quietly disconnected. If you want stronger relationships, better mental health, and a reminder of what actually sustains a meaningful life, this conversation will ground you. You will walk away with clarity, simple actions you can apply immediately, and a renewed commitment to choose presence, connection, and real life over passive scrolling.
