It's worth noting that Smiley is a renowned author and speaker on fostering belonging and connection in the digital age, and for any fan of this show, his book Friendship in the age of Loneliness is a must-read.

Even though we're back sharing real-life hugs and kisses instead of just texting digital hearts back and forth, the truth is, we're lonely. 61% of Americans report being lonely, despite the fact that we're all more "connected" now than at any point in history. Adam Smiley Poswolsky, millennial workplace expert, and author of Friendship in the Age of Loneliness: An Optimist's Guide To Connection, shares how we can meet new people, maintain friendships, and dive deeper into the relationships we love most. In Mailbag, we look at the best accounts to set up for children, and in Thrive, how to create a post-pandemic budget that you can actually stick with. 

There is a loneliness epidemic, and it is affecting people from all ages. A recent study, conducted by the American Enterprise Institute, suggests that the proportion of people who can name six close friends has dropped from 55% to 27% since the 1990's and one in five single men say they do not have any close friends. According to the Guardian, while the pandemic has increased experiences of loneliness, people were struggling long before as a YouGov study carried out in 2019 suggested that 9 in 10 people between the age of 18-24 suffered from loneliness to some degree, and nearly half had difficulty making friends. The challenges with making friends differ for men and women. The  study entitled 'Gender Differences in Friendship Patterns' finds that women are more intimate and emotional in their same-sex friendships than men, women also tend to place a higher value on these friendships than men do. Women emphasized talking, emotional sharing, and discussing personal problems with their same-sex friends, and men showed an emphasis on sharing activities and doing things with their men friends. This is largely because men are socialized to not share their feelings. Being a man means going it alone. Results from this study suggest that men need to be socialized to express their emotions to form intimate and more beneficial same-sex friendships.  The friendship gender gap can have significant consequences as men face higher rates of isolation, loneliness, depression and even suicide. We all need connection in some way or another. On today's episode Adam Smiley Poswolsky author of Friendship in the Age of Loneliness, will join us to share how we can form meaningful friendships and create belonging at work and in life.

How to Create Connection and Rebuild relationships in an Age of Loneliness and Isolation!!!!   One of the hardest things about these last 15 months or so has been the inability for many to see loved ones, friends and co-workers in person. Things like loss of connection and feelings of loneliness and isolation have caused so much havoc on the health of so many people and social media and technology have quickly risen to take the place of these interpersonal connections which isn't the greatest alternative.   While the pandemic could be the easy thing to blame for these issues, I am afraid they started long before. It has been reported that the average American hasn't made a new friend in 5 years which is disheartening. I think by now we all know the benefits of deep personal connections and relationships. Studies show that they help us live longer, feel better and improve our health. With that said, I couldn't think of a better time to talk about this topic.    Meet today's guest and connection guru Adam Smiley Poswolsky. Smiley is a millennial workplace expert, motivational speaker, and author. He helps companies attract, retain, and empower millennial talent, and has inspired thousands of professionals to be more engaged at work. He has a Ted talk that has been viewed more than 1.5 million times, and has spoken in 20 countries about millennials, multigenerational engagement, and fostering connection and belonging in the workplace. His latest book FRIENDSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS: AN OPTIMIST'S GUIDE TO CONNECTION essentially gives the readers simple and effective habits for starting new relationships and strengthening existing ones which will be the focus of our discussion in this episode.   And today's conversation is going to educate you on what's at the root cause of these feelings of loneliness and isolation while ultimately giving you the blueprint and the tools needed to create connections and rebuild relationships so that you can live a happier, healthier, and longer life.    Connect with Smiley Poswolsky;   Website: https://smileyposwolsky.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatsupsmiley/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/whatsupsmiley   Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Adam-Smiley-Poswolsky/e/B00JAZQT2O%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share   Connect with Doug:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/dougbopst   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst/   Website: https://www.dougbopst.com   More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:   www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst   Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order

Adam Smiley Poswolsky, author of Friendship in the Age of Loneliness, joins us today to talk about the loneliness epidemic and the power of in-person friendships. Smiley shares his experience of digitally detoxing at ‘Camp Grounded' and the positive impact that this has on overcoming loneliness and finding purpose. We discuss how media can be a way-station to connect and meet others in real life, and the steps that can be taken to enhance meaningful friendships. Learn how to help your community form meaningful relationships through deep one-on-one connection and encouraging true friendship in community and the workplace. Who is this episode for?: Everyone 3 key takeaways: 1. Enhance meaningful friendships by nurturing one-on-one, in person connections, being more playful in your character and questions, and becoming a better friend to others. 2. Encourage friendship in the workplace and your community to reduce loneliness and create meaningful connections. Provide spaces for your community to discuss what they're going through, a safe space to check in, opportunity to play and team-build, a time to build friendships, etc. 3. Digitally Detoxing lessens feelings of loneliness and helps you become aware of your tech use, live a more balanced life, and focus on nurturing IRL relationships. Use tech and social media as the waystation to meet others, get new ideas, be inspired, find out about an event or community, and then use that to connect off the platform in real life. Notable Quotes: “If social media and tech are used as the way station where people meet people, get new ideas, get inspired, find out about a great product, find out about a great event or community and then they use that to connect off the platform....then the tech is actually contributing to meaningful connection.” “It's the disconnect between where your connection levels are and where you want them to be or where you think they should be. That's what loneliness is. It's that gap. And I think one of the reasons...has to be technology and social media. Because if you think about the disconnect, it's like, okay, here's how I feel. You know, everything's really hard, but then I'm spending the entire day looking at what everyone else is doing and where everyone else is, and the amazing places they might be, even if the photo is from three years ago and the people that they're with, wherever they are, being like, ‘Man, why didn't they invite me to hang out?' or ‘everyone's life is so cool' or ‘everyone's so connected and engaged and happy.' And I'm sitting here at home by myself on a Friday night looking at this damn phone. So, I mean, I think that has to be a big factor in it.” Rapid fire question answers: 1. What's your favorite book to recommend to others? The War of Art by Steven Pressfield 2. What's Your Go to Pump- Up Song?: Hang With Me - Robyn 3. What's your wildest community story?: The Starting Block Institute for Social Innovation - a leadership development program for people interested in social impact, social innovation, and social entrepreneurship. This experience spring boarded Smiley to moving to DC and become a writer and completely change the trajectory of his future. 4. What community builder would you want to take out for lunch? Priya Parker 5. What's a community product you wished existed?: An app or platform that provides the opportunity to say ‘hey do u want to connect over this person and get together in real life?' 6. What's the weirdest community you've been a part of? Zen as F*** 7. If you're on your deathbed and you could only leave one piece of life advice behind for all the future generations, what would that advice be? Find believers. Find more people that believe in the beauty of your dreams.

I jumped into the diner booth with author and entrepreneur, Adam Smiley Poswolsky! His newest book, Friendship in the Age of Loneliness is coming out in May but before we got to that you know we had to talk about our late-night food preferences. He gave a shout-out to El Farolito in San Francisco and we also bonded over the fact that pineapple has no place on pizza. He then told me wow the nickname “Smiley” happened to him. We discussed his assorted dreams around being a writer and winding up as a film major at Wesleyan University. Smiley had a number of jobs/careers that he tried and none of them felt right so he decided to create his own lane as an entrepreneur. I loved hearing him talk about learning to see opportunity instead of adversity in front of you. Figuring out that you do not need to wait for permission – there are many paths to success if you keep putting yourself in the way of opportunities. We then discussed how to find friendship in the age of loneliness and why finding it matters. He reminded me of the always startling statistic that social relationships are the largest determiner for how long you will live… more than health and genetics. We talked about how awkward making friends as an adult is and Adam ended by sharing some quick tips for how to help.

Here's a somewhat stuffy bio of me:    I am an author, professional speaker, coach, host, and entrepreneur. My first book, Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for leaders, professionals, and human beings, is available wherever people buy books. I speak internationally to willing and unwilling attendees about authenticity, vulnerability, and leadership. My clients include American Express, General Electric (GE), Accenture, Yale University, The Ohio State University, and many others. As a speaker, I am doing the two things I loves the most: making people think and making people laugh!   I host my own events multiple times a year. They are 2-day events called Living Imperfectly Live (and sometimes they are 1-day virtual events). They are a space where humans from every walk of life can come together to be part of a community on the pursuit of badassery. The goal is to help attendees start living the life we say we want to live.  Alas, you're here because of an idea I had a number of years ago and didn't think I was good enough to pull it off. I finally acted on it and alas Diner Talks with James was born! As you can see from what I do in my professional life, Diner Talks is alligned with everything I believe in and teach. If this wasn't dry enough, and you would like to know more info about my speaking, events, or coaching feel free to check out my website: JamesTRobo.com.   Let’s Be Friends on Social Media!

Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Adam Smiley Poswolsky. Adam is a person full of empathy, and his desire to build understanding for the common good comes across in this conversation. As a millennial workplace expert, his goal is to foster a sense of belonging in the digital age. Currently he is de-stigmatizing loneliness in his newest book, “Friendship in the Age of Loneliness.” (1:45) Ashanti's introduction. (5:30) Smiley introduces himself and his work as an author and millennial workplace expert. Then he and Ashanti reflect on how their work and their relationship has evolved over time. (11:12) Ashanti and Smiley share the front of their masks. Ashanti - funny, serious, hard-working. Smiley - happy, successful, expert. (14:02) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - fear of failure, sadness, mental health. They discuss negative self-talk, downplaying one's own work and ability, and how comparison is the thief of joy. (17:07) Smiley shares the back of his mask - lonely, sad, unsure. He shares how the pandemic has exacerbated his sadness and loneliness, and how he has always oscillated between feeling like an expert and feeling like he doesn't have the answers. (26:01) The men discuss Smiley's book, “Friendship in the Age of Loneliness”, as it pertains to the Covid-19 pandemic, and to Ashanti's work with youth. They also discuss how loneliness is a subjective experience, as opposed to something that can be measured objectively. (29:37) Next, they discuss the stigma of admitting loneliness, and how an extroverted, actively social person can still be lonely. (34:50) Smiley shares how he got the nickname “Smiley” as an adolescent. They discuss how this experience made him feel a sense of belonging, and how opportunities for a sense of belonging are more available for adolescents than they are for adults. (39:30) As an expert on how the digital age has changed our society, Smiley shares his lesson for young people. (42:45) Smiley shares how to get in touch with him. --- Connect with Adam Smiley Poswolsky: Instagram: instagram.com/whatsupsmiley LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/adamsposwolsky Website: smileyposwolsky.com Book: amazon.com/Friendship-Age-Loneliness-Optimists-Connection/dp/0762472278 --- Create your own mask anonymously at www.100kmasks.com If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: instagram.com/branchspeaks Facebook: facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch --- Send in a voice message: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/message

Adam Smiley Poswolsky is a millennial workplace expert, an international keynote speaker, and the best selling author The Quarter Life Breakthrough and The Breakthrough Speaker. Smiley helps companies attract, retain, and empower millennial talent through speaking on the topics like employee engagement and intergenerational collaboration.   A lot of companies are now struggling with retention and keeping young people longer than six months, a year, which is incredibly costly.

Dr. Arrieta explains how the microbes that live in our bodies impact childhood development and why an imbalance in those microbes can lead to obesity, diabetes, and asthma, among other chronic conditions. Arrieta is published in the leading scientific journals Gastroenterology, PNAS, and Science Translational Medicine.

Adam Smiley Poswolsky — millennial author, speaker, motivator, entrepreneur, camp counselor, and one of my best buddies in the multiverse — is about to drop a brand new edition of his critically-acclaimed and best-selling book for millennials searching for meaningful work: “THE QUARTER-LIFE BREAKTHROUGH: Invent Your Own Path, Find Meaningful Work, and Build a Life That Matters.” We run the gamut of how to improve our lives and make them more meaningful through the lens of Smiley’s rise from a talented writer to an inspiring speaker, master social networker, leader of innovative camp and retreat programs for adults, and fellow philosophical thinker on all things millennial and more. We also get a critique of the self-help industry in 2016 and Smiley's occasional discomfort with being a part of it. And of course, plenty of Seinfeld and Lebowski references, a touch of Daoism, a little “Up In The Air,” and Politics! http://smileyposwolsky.com/ http://www.thequarterlifebreakthrough.com/ Sign up for BizzleCast on iTunes (keyword: BizzleCast) or use the RSS feed on any podcast app: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:35604552/sounds.rss
