Disconnected

Connection is dying. The office is dead. MySpace has ruined everything. Twitter sucks, always has, always will. Trump is not President, I don't think. 

Welcome to the new world. A world where anxiety has replaced boredom and people need 400 mg of edible weed to sleep through the night even though they are lying on a $12,000 sleep number memory foam cool technology mattress in a climate-controlled home with a white noise machine, 56,000 thread count sheets, and pH-balanced water on the nightstand. Oh, and a $70 MyPillow. That was a long rant about sleeping. Sorry. 

I started watching a show on Netflix last night about the Roman Empire. It seemed fake because they spoke English and had magnificent hair. The girls had fake boobs. 

Anyway, can you imagine the life of a man in Rome during the Roman Empire? That poor bastard never showered, fought his entire life in the army with a sword that probably weighed 80 lbs, and slept in the mud. There was no AC, grapefruit LaCroix, Siri, FitBits, or Starbucks whipped frappuccino decaf spinach milk lattes. 

There were no Goldendoodles eating vegan carrot dog food or billionaires flying their own spaceships to outer space. 

Times are changing. 

Now we live in perfect comfort at all times. We all have diabetes, cavities, and gluten allergies. We are riddled with depression, anxiety, and Coke Zero. We are losing friends as the world population increases by a billion every hour. 

If Jesus were here, he would wear crocs and have 5.5 billion Instagram followers. He could sell a single post for 25 million dollars. Sorry, I digress. 

Bottom line it blog boy,...ok - here goes.

We are losing connection. The magical, mystical, buzzword of the year. We are losing our connection with each other. Everyone has their cell phone on them at ALL times yet we never speak to each other. I haven't made an actual phone call in three weeks. 

We connect through text, Snap, fax, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Clubhouse, Pinterest, Slack, Bumble, Hinge, TikTok, WhatsApp, Gmail, NextDoor, OnlyFans, and regular mail. 

But are we even connecting? We use emojis because typing the word 'happy' is too exhausting. 

I think connection is the next big problem to be solved. As an entrepreneur, I have built programs that uniquely connect people. My 30 Day Adventure program, Exchange men's group, upcoming group travel business, and newly formed 30 Day Employee Engagement program called GLUED, for example. 

Connection is in demand. 

It is so bad I have created a new program for businesses that literally connects employees to other employees and leadership in the same company. Can you imagine? A business where I bring your people together so that your business is successful? Unheard of in 1932. Or during the Roman Empire.

We need to stop turning inward and start turning outward. Introverts like me need to turn off Netflix and hang out with humans. The depressed, anxious, and self-loathing need to quit reading self-help books and start talking to real people. Coworkers need to meet each other. Shocking right? 

I am selling connection. Are you buying?
