🪄 Hello my friend! As promised, here’s the first of two Weekly Curation edits before I’m back. Hope you enjoy the resources on connection.  

Thank you to Helene Quenu fom Inclusive Agent for our last conversation of the year on the power of unlocking belonging. Take note: connection to ourselves precedes connection to others.

WEEKLY CURATION

• 🤝 Listen: Simon Sinek and Will Guidara sit down to discuss friendship (+friends at work… that’s a tough one). Did you know they’re writing a book together? 

• 🗺️ See: Loneliness in America, mapped by state. Is it me, or does the map with the loneliest states paradoxically resemble a smile?

• 🎙️ Listen: “Want the best work to be done? Unlock belonging” - Connecting to Ourselves and Others with Helene Quenu from Inclusive Agent. Last episode of 2024—ending with a BANG! Podcast will be back early January. 

• ✍️ Write: David Spinks and team bring you the Downshift Annual Review—an invitation to pause and reconnect with who you are this EOY. Who you want to be > what you want to achieve.

• 🎳 Listen: “Robert Putnam Knows Why You’re Alone”. A NYTimes interview with my pretend grandfather. We love you, Bob! Special thanks to Tim for sharing.

• 🌲 Read: Want more ways to connect with yourself, others, and the planet? Check out Third Nature. Feels like we speak the same language!

• 🤗 Watch: Belong Center’s 5-min EOY video (Insta link below), recapping the organization’s impact so far and all that’s ahead! Want to join us? Donate here!
