In this episode I am joined by Pete Bombaci, Founder of The
GenWell Project, a Canadian organization dedicated to making the
world a healthier and happier place by reminding people about the
importance of face-to-face social connection as a proactive
health action that they can take, and inspiring them to take
action.


Following a successful career in the beverage alcohol industry,
Pete ventured into the world of charities and not-for-profits


We had an amazing conversation about what his organization is
doing to help combat loneliness, something that affects everyone
across the spectrum all over the world. According to a survey by
Cigna Health Insurance, more than three in five Americans are
lonely, with more and more people reporting feeling like they are
left out, poorly understood and lacking companionship.


In this interview we discuss why we live in a time where although
we have so many ways to stay connected at our fingertips, people
still report to feel more alone than ever before.
