In this Friday Rant, I dive into a word that keeps showing up everywhere lately — community. We’re more “connected” than ever through social media and Zoom, yet so many of us feel completely alone.
I’ve been there too. For years, I told myself I didn’t need anyone — that I could figure it out on my own. But the truth is, we all need people who see us, support us, and challenge us to grow.This episode is my reminder (and maybe yours too) that real connection happens in person.
It’s in the men’s groups, the early-morning workouts, the coffee meetups — the moments where phones are down and presence is up.If you’ve been feeling disconnected, restless, or just “off,” maybe what you’re missing isn’t motivation — it’s community.
Key Highlights:
- The illusion of connection: Why social media and back-to-back Zoom calls leave us feeling empty.
- The craving for real support: What happens when you surround yourself with people invested in your growth.
- From isolation to connection: How I’ve shifted from screens to in-person meetups — and how it’s changed everything.
- The lost art of presence: Why genuine conversation without your phone might be the most powerful habit you can build.
- The truth about independence: How “I’ll figure it out myself” keeps us stuck in loneliness and disconnection.
- Your challenge: Join something — a run club, gym, men’s group, women’s circle, bowling league — and show up.
We’re not meant to do life alone. You don’t need a massive network — you need real people who see you, support you, and walk beside you. So get out there, show up, and let community bring parts of you back to life that you forgot existed.
