We live in the most digitally connected time in human history, yet loneliness, burnout and disconnection continue to rise.

From social media and hustle culture to identity, performance and purpose, this thought-provoking talk challenges what connection really means today and why being constantly online may be leaving many of us feeling more disconnected than ever.
