In this episode I am joined by Pete Bombaci, Founder of The GenWell Project, a Canadian organization dedicated to making the world a healthier and happier place by reminding people about the importance of face-to-face social connection as a proactive health action that they can take, and inspiring them to take action.

Following a successful career in the beverage alcohol industry, Pete ventured into the world of charities and not-for-profits

We had an amazing conversation about what his organization is doing to help combat loneliness, something that affects everyone across the spectrum all over the world. According to a survey by Cigna Health Insurance, more than three in five Americans are lonely, with more and more people reporting feeling like they are left out, poorly understood and lacking companionship.

In this interview we discuss why we live in a time where although we have so many ways to stay connected at our fingertips, people still report to feel more alone than ever before.

In this episode I am joined by The Art Engineer, Luis Martin, host of the podcast Studio Confessions. Luis is a personal favorite of the show, an all around awesome person and was the first featured guest on the Pretty Normal Day series which I highly suggest everyone go watch on Youtube. In that video Luis takes us into his studio and shows us what a pretty normal day looks like for him.

I knew this interview was going to be great because Luis is a walking, living book of inspirational quotes. Everything he says sounds so uplifting and im always super excited to have him come on the show. In our conversation we discuss his recent trip to Merida, Mexico, where he hosted his own art show, we discuss finding the balance between staying consistent and taking breaks from your creative work, whether or not art school is necessary, copyright laws when it comes to collaging, what we would like to change in Latinx culture and more.
