Have you ever heard of a "trust recession"?

It's a concept that really struck a chord with me recently. Just like an economic recession makes us cautious with our money, a trust recession makes us wary of opening up to others. In my latest podcast episode, I dive deep into how this trust deficit affects our relationships, both online and offline. Navigating trust in digital interactions can be tricky. Many of us are guarded, fearing judgment or ulterior motives.

I share practical tips on how to engage in real conversations and build authentic connections, even in a digital world. Let's make trust the default again, break down these walls, and foster real, genuine connections. Trust can be rebuilt, one conversation at a time. Listen now for more insights!

Ever wondered how collective intelligence can be applied in everyday situations? In this episode, Josh Ketry shares real-world examples. Tune in to learn practical ways to implement collective problem-solving in your life!

He also shares how diversity in groups often leads to more innovative solutions. Research shows that a mix of perspectives, especially between genders, results in better outcomes.

TED Talk by Dr. Rosenberg mentioned in the episode

Ever felt like you're in a fishbowl, only interacting with the same people every day? In my latest podcast episode, I had an eye-opening chat with David Coupland, founder of Qu Mindset, about how we can break out of our bubbles and connect with diverse individuals. David's platform, Qu Mindset, offers spontaneous video calls on shared interests, helping us learn and grow from each other. Whether you're into sports, marketing, or travel, there's someone out there to share insights and experiences with you. Dive into the world of diverse interactions and see how it transforms your personal growth!

At seven years old, growing up in a small English seaside town, David decided he would get the most out of life by traveling the world and meeting as many people as he could. That mindset carried him into a 15+ year career in film and television—Star Wars, Game of Thrones, James Bond—where he worked in over 50 countries, across oceans, deserts, studios, and cities. He met thousands of people, experienced endless perspectives, and lived the life the younger me had dreamed of. But something was missing. Even though he spent his life helping others grow, he’d always wanted to do more—to contribute to the world and the advancement of our species in a meaningful way. So in 2022, he left the industry and finally gave himself space to reflect. What had he really learned from all those years, people, and places? And what could he do with all of it?

That’s when Qu came to him. It hit like lightning—a culmination of everything he’d ever done, seen, and become. David realized he was happier than he’d ever been—not because life was easy (it wasn’t), but because he was growing in every area of his life, consistently and intentionally. And with each step forward, he felt it—real joy. Physical, mental, spiritual. As his growth became more deliberate, so did his happiness. Now David wakes up every day with that feeling—even in the hard moments. Especially in the hard moments. Because he knows they hold value, help me grow, bring him joy. The truth is, it took him 40 years, a global career, and countless experiences to develop what he now calls the Qu Mindset—the ability to learn and grow from every moment. David built Qu: to help others access the world’s greatest teachers, experiences, and other people in ways that are easy, exciting, affordable, and available to everyone, everywhere.

Did you know resilience is not about pushing through stress without feeling? In the latest episode of the podcast, I highlight how true resilience involves recovery, self-awareness, and community support.

Setbacks are opportunities to learn and grow. I discuss the importance of reframing failures and learning from them. Resilient individuals use these experiences to build greater clarity and the right tools for future challenges. Let’s cultivate a kinder approach to resilience together.

We often think rest is a reward for hard work, but it’s actually essential for well-being. I emphasize the necessity of viewing rest as part of our daily routine. Learn how to prioritize rest without guilt and develop habits that support your mental fitness.
