In this episode, we dive into what it really means to build community in an age where so many of us feel increasingly disconnected. From the “friendship recession” and growing loneliness among adults to the rise of real-world connection apps and clubs, we explore why building intentional communities matters more than ever.

I also share the story behind Fun Club - how it started, what inspired it, and how small, consistent acts of coming together can make a big difference in how we feel and who we become. We’ll talk about what makes a true community work, how to create one around shared values and joy, and what it means to actually participate rather than just show up.

If you’ve ever felt like it’s hard to find community, this episode is for you.
