About this listen

This magazine, anthology, philosophy essay, journal entry, reflective meditation is, in not meant to be listened to from beginning to end in one sitting. It is not a textbook or a manual. And most importantly it is not a self-help book.

My intention is not to feign a solution for how to create genuine connection so that I can extract profit. What I intend for this piece to be is a guide for those moments when small talk just doesn’t feel like enough. It is for the conversations we have late at night when the guard drops, when someone says, I’ve never told anyone this before. It is for people tired of feeling alone in a crowded room. It is for anyone who believes that real connection requires risk and that people, even when messy or difficult, are worth that risk.
