28. Creating a human connection movement: with Pete Bombaci

An issue the size and scale of loneliness and social disconnection requires a variety of solutions, from offering individual support to developing national policies.

It’s too big for one person to solve alone, so a more effective approach is creating a movement that fosters countless connections as well as advocating for government and private sector action on the issue.

Let’s explore the power of such a human connection movement, and it can all start when you say ‘hi’ to a stranger.

Joining us for this episode is Pete Bombaci, the founder and CEO of the Genwell Project in Canada.

Genwell promotes proactive face-to-face social connections for better health, happiness, and longevity. In doing its work, Genwell is changing the way Canadians understand social connection and social health.

In this conversation

● you’ll hear what prompted Pete to create GenWell

● you’ll get his insights for creating a connected community (itstarts with saying hello to a stranger…)

●  you’ll get his advice if you feel called to help the humans around you feel connected.

It’s time to get inspired and change the world – if only for those around you.
