"Connection isn't new, it's just neglected. And it's neglected now more than ever." These powerful words from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ryan Jenkins set the stage for a transformative conversation about what might be our most critical yet overlooked human need.

In this crossover episode of Anatomy of Leadership and TCNtalks, Jenkins discusses the vital role of connection in both leadership and the workplace. He explores generational differences in loneliness, the challenges posed by remote work, and the potential of Rivet—an innovative AI tool designed to foster authentic relationships.

Despite living in a hyperconnected world of social media, texting, and endless digital communication, genuine connection continues to slip through our fingers. Jenkins draws a clear distinction between mere communication and genuine connection—explaining how our brains process these experiences differently and why that difference matters so profoundly.

The stakes couldn’t be higher: a lack of social connection is more harmful to your health than smoking twenty cigarettes a day for forty years!

Jenkins offers actionable insights for leaders to intentionally cultivate meaningful connections within their teams, proving that in an increasingly digital world, human connection is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
