We’re excited to welcome a prolific entrepreneur, writer, podcaster, and all-around creative soul Alex Searle to our Joy of Connecting podcast. He’s the Founder of Humble Mind, a social learning & community-building company that’s helping professionals solve real-world challenges & transform insight into action.
In this episode, we peel back the layers and dive into what being authentic really means, and why the real you matters more than any performance. Alex shares insights on building trust, fostering vulnerability, and the unspoken "language" of connection that shapes everything from leadership to community-building.
We discuss:

• Why authenticity is about subtracting the layers instead of adding more
• The importance of trust and vulnerability in building meaningful connections
• How storytelling shapes human connection and drives business success
• The role of chemistry, vibe and attention in creating deeper relationships
• How great leaders connect on a personal level to inspire action

This episode is such a treat so dig in!
