Summary

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Joel Puthoff and Leo Adams, co-founders of Linxy, a location-based app built to make real-world connection as intuitive as checking your phone. They share how their “social DNA” system helps users find people on the same wavelength by syncing interests, values, and goals in real time. We talk about the challenges of building community in a post-Covid world, the power of frequency in creating meaningful collaboration, and how trust fuels their long-term partnership. From professional networking to authentic belonging, this conversation is about creating tools that bring people together when it matters most.
