Summary

This is a special replay of an episode from the REJUVENAGING WITH DR. RON KAISER podcast Hall of Fame, first posted on August 2, 2022.


The recent COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent global lockdowns highlighted our need, as humans, for social connection. Being socially connected has proven to lead to happier, longer, and healthier lives. So how do we ensure that we’re connecting and doing it in the right way?


This episode’s guest, Simone Heng, is a human connection specialist. Simone started thinking about the facilitation of human connection while working at a job where she and her fellow co-workers felt disconnected and were, therefore, less productive. She believes that love and connection are two of the most important values when it comes to living happy lives.
