Gabby Reece sits down with William von Hempel to explore the essential role of human connection in our happiness and overall well-being. Together, they unpack the ongoing tension between our craving for independence and our deep need for community—highlighting how modern life often pushes us toward isolation. The conversation spans gender differences in how we connect, the effects of technology on our relationships, and actionable ways to build real community in today’s world. They also dive into parenting in the digital age, the pressure of social comparison, and how to stay present in a fast-paced, screen-heavy culture. From shifting gender roles to leadership, social anxiety, and the art of reinventing oneself with age, this wide-ranging dialogue underscores one central truth: connection isn’t just helpful—it’s foundational to a fulfilling life.
