We open up about the difference between collecting contacts and building relationships that actually change your life and your work. From the definition of connection as a door you must choose to walk through, to the quiet ways bad ties drain your energy and decision‑making, we map out how to evaluate the people and pipelines shaping your days.Then we widen the lens. The pandemic made it painfully clear that humans are wired for real connection; isolation corroded our mental and physical health. Yet the answer isn’t more scrolling. It’s discerning, reciprocal ties that challenge your comfort zone and broaden your worldview. A raw personal story about a friend named Freddy shows how “useful” connections can backfire when character is missing. We close with three takeaways: connections can keep you stuck, you’re shaped by the pipelines you join, and good connections should make you better for yourself and others.If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a nudge to rethink their network.
