Listeners are invited into a lively, unscripted conversation that kicks off with banter about in-person vs. digital relationships, complete with jokes about height—and quickly pivots to a meaningful discussion on how technology has radically transformed the way we build and maintain authentic connections. Alexandra shares her journey from analog networking to using modern digital tools, reflecting on the power of platforms like LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumblr, and Twitter in creating professional opportunities and nurturing genuine relationships across distances.

As the episode unfolds, Alexandra and KwaKu explore the role of vulnerability, storytelling, and specificity—whether in fundraising, branding, or filmmaking—in fostering true engagement. They also touch on the nuanced ways technology can empower people to be seen and celebrated, both online and off, and examine how today’s creators can choose their level of intimacy with the world.

Get ready for a conversation that seamlessly blends laughter, personal stories, and thoughtful insights, showing that technology, at its best, isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about deepening human connection.
