The key to fighting loneliness

Isn't it weird how in 2025, with all our amazing tech, we're more connected than ever but many of us feel lonelier? Gallup found that good relationships aren't just about having people around — they're about having people around who know the real you.

Their studies show that spending at least six hours a day with people you care about makes a huge difference in how you feel overall.

Do you like what you do each day?

Let's talk about purpose – that feeling that what you do really matters. With AI doing more and more of our work, I keep hearing leaders ask, "What's my purpose when a computer can do my job?"

But purpose starts with a simple question: Do you like what you do each day? If you can say yes to that, you're twice as likely to be thriving overall.
