Summary

Let’s face it, despite being more digitally connected than ever before, we’re more isolated and lonely. The cure for this loneliness epidemic? Human connection. That’s why I am excited to have entrepreneur, best-selling author, and researcher, Dan Schawbel on the show. Throughout his career, he’s interviewed over 2,000 people from celebrities to CEOs to politicians and even two astronauts on the future of learning and working. He’s synthesized these conversations into tactical insights on how to make technology work for us (not control us) and foster a more socially connected, productive, and fulfilled career and life.

In this episode:

There’s no such thing as an overnight success. Dan shares his personal stories of rejection and failure with persistence and stamina.
The dark side of remote working. While we glorify the flexibility and comfort from working outside the office, it also can contribute to isolation. Dan shares some strategies to combat this.
We spend 1/3 of our lives working. Yet, so little of that time spent collaborating, negotiating, and communicating is spent face to face. Dan reminds us that simply having an in-person conversation is more effective than sending 30-40 emails.

Enjoy!

0:20.9	He interviewed me for a Forbes article sometime ago.
0:23.2	I was like, wow, I really like that guy.

0:28.4	I think this is his third book.
0:30.7	He's also started a handful of companies.
0:32.0	And he does a ton of research around creativity, around interacting with technology, around workplace,
0:41.6	working remote. It's just a really, really interesting aggregate of things that I'm passionate
0:47.6	about. And so Dan and I have become friends over the past couple of years. He's an incredible

1:07.8	use it to maximize our ability to create and connect and all those things.
1:11.7	But what we don't talk about a lot is the shadow side of that technology.
1:16.4	And the truth is, we are now very isolated because in part of this technology, we've
1:21.8	stopped communicating as humans.
1:24.6	And Dan's book does a great job of unpacking that, both in our personal lives and at
1:30.4	work. And whether you're an individual contributor, an individual entrepreneur, creator,
1:35.4	or you work in an organization, this interview is going to help you navigate all this stuff.
