Chris Miller had what he calls the Harvard Complex, suit and tie job. And, like so many of us that pursue a path for the sake of stability and \u201csupposed to\u201d - we move beyond the ego-based, \u201clook at me; I landed a big-boy job.\u201d And once there, we must question, what\u2019s it all for?

That\u2019s where Chris and I connected on this podcast. I\u2019ll likely do a blog about the idea of leaving your partner at home while you\u2019re out on required business travel making the absurd claim, \u201cI love you so much I\u2019m not at home. I\u2019m doing this all for you.\u201d

Chris gave up his corporate job to become a writer, podcaster, and producer. During our time together, we connected around VALUES. Chris notes, \u201cthere has to be a well\u201d to dip from, your values and beliefs are the key.

We diverted into talking about the loneliness crisis and referred to the definition of loneliness as the perceived feeling of lacking a needed social connection. That is, you could be in a room full of people and feel lonely. Or you could be by yourself and feel fully content. It\u2019s about perception of the need.

Presence and attention were discussed as essential for building any relationship. And we then uncovered that \u201ccommunity\u201d can be the connection with just one other person. Think about the relationships you have, how you co-construct conversations in them, and how doing so with real attention gives you the much needed community.
