[LEADERSHIP] Ep. 457 Finding Connection & Personal Power in a Disconnected World with Lynn Casey This week, Ash is joined by Lynn Casey, futurist and cultural cartographer, for a riveting conversation about the changing nature of connection, identity, and self-care in our increasingly chaotic world. Lynn brings a sharp cultural lens to the conversation, examining how anxiety, AI, and environmental concerns are prompting a shift away from hustle culture and toward deeper self-agency, personalization, and meaningful human relationships. Ash and Lynn unpack the emerging trend of “clanning” small, value-aligned communities built around personalized experiences and how people are finding belonging through curated in-person gatherings, from subscription-based maker events to offline pop-ups. They explore how Millennials and Gen Z are navigating post-pandemic loneliness, and how brands are evolving to meet a craving for authenticity, emotional resonance, and real-life engagement. Whether it's dating, work, or wellness, people are seeking real connection over curated perfection. But that's just the start. Lynn shares powerful insights on how the future of work, identity, and personal wellness is being redefined. From the tension between remote flexibility and the need for mentorship, to the rise of internal self-care practices as a way to reclaim control in an overwhelming world, this episode offers a deeply human perspective on what it means to thrive in uncertain times. If you're seeking grounded strategies for navigating culture, connection, and personal clarity, this one's a must-listen.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: What the “clanning” trend reveals about our need for belonging and shared values. How AI, climate anxiety, and digital burnout are shaping new forms of self-leadership. Why curated in-person experiences are the new currency of connection. How Millennials and Gen Z are redefining dating, identity, and community post-pandemic. The future of work: balancing autonomy with mentorship and human connection. Why internal self-care matters more than ever– and how to practice it with intention.   Connect with Lynn Casey Website: https://shinescout.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynn_casey1/ Connect with Ash: https://www.instagram.com/ashleystahl/ Want to become a professional speaker and skyrocket your personal brand?  Ashley's team at Wise Whisper Agency offers a done-with-you method to get your signature talk written and booked and it's helped more than 100 clients onto the TEDx stage!

The 'social architecture' of an organization can make or break meaningful connections between patients and physicians, and physicians and the administration.  In Part 2 of our two part series, Allison Pugh, a research professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University and author of The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World joins us to talk about how we can foster connective labor within larger organizations, what happens when that connection fails, and where AI fits in to all of it.

Based on five years of ethnographic research, Allison Pugh offers a humanistic response to the rise of AI, one that probes the profound meaning of human connection, reckons with the challenges of seeing and being seen, and reimagines what we know of ourselves and others in light of the automation challenge. Allison Pugh is a professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. She writes about how people forge connections and find meaning and dignity at work and at home. In her latest book The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World (2024), Pugh develops the concept of “connective labor,” the collaborative work of emotional recognition. This includes three key components—empathetic listening, emotion management, and the act of “witnessing,” in which one individual reflects what they have seen and heard. Drawing on years of interview and observational data, Pugh shows how in sectors like education, healthcare, and therapy, this work is increasingly systemized—a process that she argues makes it ripe for eventual mechanization. In the face of teacher shortages and hype around “chatbot therapists,” Pugh makes a case for connective labor's value to society and the potential consequences for inequality should it become a scarce commodity.

Send us a textWhat happens when we learn to embrace connection in a world designed to keep us disconnected? South African-born Lana Enkelbrecht joins us to share her powerful insights on finding freedom through connected living.Drawing from her experiences across three countries and cultures, Lana reveals how disconnection from our true identity creates literal "dis-ease" in our bodies and relationships. With warmth and wisdom, she explores how our fast-paced, digitally-saturated world has eroded our capacity for genuine connection—with ourselves, with God, and with those around us.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Lana unpacks the Hebrew concept of "shalom"—not just peace, but bringing order and beauty from chaos. She describes practical ways to remain grounded amid life's storms, including intentional moments of presence and curiosity. Rather than seeing challenges as attacks, Lana suggests they reveal heart positions we might otherwise ignore, creating opportunities for transformation.As someone preparing to write a book on connected living, Lana offers profound insights about nurturing connection in families, embracing our purpose, and creating environments where others experience the peace of heaven. Her perspective on approaching life with curiosity rather than judgment opens new pathways for authentic relationship and spiritual growth.Whether you're feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or simply seeking deeper connections, this conversation offers practical wisdom for experiencing the freedom that comes when we live as the connected beings we were designed to be.

There's a growing sense of disconnection in our lives, and a growing number of reasons why.  But instead of focusing on what's forcing us apart, we want to look at the work we can do to bring people together - and why it matters.  In Part 1 of a two part series, Allison Pugh, a research professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University and author of The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World, joins us to talk about the art and science of the most important cognitive exercise you've likely never heard of: Connective Labor.

She talks about the importance of connective labor, the collaborative work of emotional recognition.

Send us a textAs we enter a world of artificial intelligence, the question of what should be automated looms before us. Models need clear, objective metrics to train on. But, can jobs really be distilled to data points?  In her book, The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World, Prof. Allison Pugh asserts many jobs have a relational component that can't be caught in the metrics. In this episode, Prof. Pugh warns that devaluing connective labor leads to automation that overlooks the core issues and leaves us more isolated.Topics:Connective LaborUndervaluation of Connective LaborAutomation of Connective LaborRole of Data in EducationEducational Inequality and Standardized TestingArtificial Intelligence and RelationshipsGrowing Demand for Connection"What books have had an impact on you?""What advice do you have for teenagers?Bio:Allison Pugh is a Research Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University, and the author of four books, most recently The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World (Princeton 2024).

Host Gabe González takes a dive into the unsettling corporate world of the Peabody award-winning show Severance. Through the dystopian and satirical concept of splitting one's consciousness into an “innie” (work self) and “outie” (home self), Severance explores the lengths corporations will go to dehumanize its workforce and the ways in which workers alternate between accepting these degradations and fighting back. To take a closer look at these themes, Gabe chats with Severance executive producer and director Ben Stiller, in addition to actor Adam Scott, who portrays Severance's protagonist Mark. Finally, to break down the theme of a dehumanized workplace, Peabody Awards executive director Jeffrey Jones speaks with professor of sociology Dr. Allison Pugh about her book The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World. 

In Part 2 of our interview with Allison Pugh, professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University and author of "The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World", we talk about what  "connective labor" means for early relational health, and can how physicians, practitioners, and caregivers can apply this theory to their everyday interactions with children.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Allison J. Pugh, professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University, to discuss her recent book The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World. Then, she's joined by Zachary Foster, author of the Palestine Nexus newsletter, to discuss Trump's recent announcements and intentions to "take over" the Gaza Strip. First, Emma runs through updates on the DOJ's restriction on Elon & Cronies' access to Treasury data, skyrocketing union membership among federal employers, Musk's access to Health Payment Systems, cuts to the FAA and the destruction of USAID, the trickle of opposition from Democrats, Trump's intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza, Trump's ban of trans girls and women from athletic competition, US birthright citizenship, global warming, and brutal jail riots out of Congo, before diving a little deeper into the absurdly creepy stunt Trump attempted to pull with signing his most recent anti-trans legislation, and the violently inhumane response from the likes of Jesse Watters. Professor Allison Pugh then joins, diving right into the recent mass proliferation of Artificial Intelligence across industries, and the dangerous encroachment it has initiated on what Pugh has dubbed “Connective Labor” – occupations where the literal act of a human seeing another human for who they are is the underlying engine for the valued outcome for the consumer, be it education, healthcare, hairdressers, sales, securities, and on – pushing society, with help from growing feelings of alienation, into a depersonalization crisis. After briefly expanding on the extension of this intrusion of AI into necessarily interpersonal roles, Professor Pugh looks at how the AI takeover over this work has been driven by this “Moneyball”-esque, Venture Capitalist, industrial-model of efficiency stripping back entire professions to emphasize data collection and output over the actual labor (and human connection) at hand, often resulting in the full-scale degradation of these jobs. Allison and Emma also touch on the AI industry's insistence on selling you their product as a replacement for either a more practical social alternative, human labor, or human connection, before wrapping up the interview with the overwhelming issue of Big Tech's complete capture of our information networks, be they communications platforms, databases, or (now) academia, and what it will take to push humanity back to doing their own critical thinking. Zachary Foster and Emma then jump right into Trump's recent declaration of intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza under U.S. control while sitting beside Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, touching on the stunning revelation of the White House's seeming internal numbers on the total Gazan death count (around 500k) as well as the ongoing struggle to survive outside of conflict in Gaza. Next, Foster dives into the extensive role Saudi Arabia plays in pushing back against the US-Israeli imperial advancements, with their outward insistence on Palestinian statehood somewhat conflicted by Crown Prince MBS' extensive efforts to normalize relations with Israel as well as to launch Saudi Arabia into an era of “techno-utopianism,” two agendas perfectly-aligned with the Trump Administration, before touching on the stunning international solidarity being shown on behalf of Palestine in the wake of Trump breaking from Biden's tact of *silently* supporting the ethnic cleansing. Wrapping up, Zachary looks to Israel's ongoing military pivot to escalating violence in the West Bank, and why U.S. and international pressure has been the only thing that ever restrained the Zionist state's repeated attempts to ethnically cleanse Palestine. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they highlight a killer dissection of the Big Tech Oligarchy's dream for “Network State” by Joanna of Blonde Politics and dive deep into Big Tech's aggrievement- and power-driven evolution in the public eye. They also watch the NYT help Steve Bannon grapple with Trump allowing a foreign billionaire to take over the US, and Trump and Netanyahu gleefully announce the “official” plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, plus, your calls and IMs!

Find out more about Thom's Enlightened Parenting Course here: https://thomknoles.com/parentingThere are more humans on the planet today than ever before, and we have more ways of connecting with each other than ever before, yet loneliness has reached epidemic proportions.The World Health Organization (WHO) launched an international commission on the problem last year, reporting that the health risks from loneliness are as bad as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day and are even greater than those associated with obesity and physical inactivity.The US Surgeon-General released a report on Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation, reporting that even in the years prior to Covid lockdowns, about one-in-two adults in America reported experiencing loneliness. And Japan, one of the most densely populated countries in the world, even has a minister in charge of measures for loneliness and isolation.Thom outlines some solutions to loneliness in this podcast episode, reminding us that connectivity and connection are very different things, and that, ultimately, it's our job to make ourselves socially relevant.  Thom also outlines an advantage that Vedic meditators have, making it possible to be alone while still enjoying rich company. Episode Highlights[00:45] Pheromone Clouds[02:50] Adaptive Mechanisms[05:36] Enriching Our Presence Through Vedic Meditation[07:03] Stepping Out of the Illusion of Loneliness[08:56] Social Chocolate[11:36] Sociological Exercise[13:16] Social Relevance[14:28] Human Interaction - Surgeon General RecommendedUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

'How to Reconnect in a Disconnected World?' we ask ourselves in this new timeless episode.   Our guest is Johann Hari, the author of the New York Times bestseller: Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention, executive producer and Tedtalk speaker. His books have been translated into 40 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people including Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein.   ​I ​don't ​think ​it's ​a ​coincidence ​that ​grief ​and ​depression ​have ​the ​same ​symptoms. I ​think ​what ​depression ​is, ​in ​part ​is ​grief ​for ​your ​own ​needs ​not ​being ​met. - Johann Hari   Hari invites us to reconsider what it truly means to find ourselves, not as isolated beings, but as interconnected individuals whose happiness and healing emerge from shared experiences and mutual support.   This week's timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in episode 47 – Johann Hari on Depression, Addiction and Connection entitled Lost Connections: Finding Others Instead of Ourselves. You are so welcome to go and find this episode in the archives and listen in full. We hope that this timeless offers you a new way of looking at your life and how you spend your time.      Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

Today's book is: The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World (Princeton University Press, 2024), by Dr. Allison Pugh, which explores the human connections that underlie our work, arguing that what people do for each other is valuable and worth preserving. Drawing on in-depth interviews and observations with people in a broad range of professions—from physicians, teachers, and coaches to chaplains, therapists, caregivers, and hairdressers—Dr. Pugh develops the concept of “connective labor,” a kind of work that relies on empathy, the spontaneity of human contact, and a mutual recognition of each other's humanity. The threats to connective labor are not only those posed by advances in AI or apps; Dr. Pugh demonstrates how profit-driven campaigns imposing industrial logic shrink the time for workers to connect, enforce new priorities of data and metrics, and introduce standardized practices that hinder our ability to truly see each other. She concludes with profiles of organizations where connective labor thrives, offering practical steps for building a social architecture that works. Vividly illustrating how connective labor enriches the lives of individuals and binds our communities together, The Last Human Job is a compelling argument for us to recognize, value, and protect humane work in an increasingly automated and disconnected world. Our guest is: Dr. Allison Pugh, who is Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University, and the 2024-25 Vice President of the American Sociological Association. She writes about how people forge connections and find meaning and dignity at work and at home. She is the author of The Tumbleweed Society: Working and Caring in an Age of Insecurity and Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture. Her writing has appeared in leading publications such as The New Yorker, the New York Times, and the New Republic. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, the producer of the Academic Life podcast. She holds a PhD in history, which she uses to explore what stories we tell and what happens to those we never tell.

Are jobs requiring high levels of human interaction worth preserving in the age of automation? Can we design machines to achieve something profound – the mutual recognition that occurs when human beings truly "see" each other?

It's not unusual to see people sitting alone in church services. It's so common that most people think nothing of it. Listen into this transformative story as Rachael Swihart shares, “As a society, we are the most connected we've ever been. We're also the loneliest we've ever been. About a year ago, I had a conversation with a woman who'd been coming to our church for a while. She told me that it's hard for her to get herself to come because she's divorced and comes alone. She never knew if she'd have someone to sit with. At the time, I sympathized with her but didn't pursue a plan to help … she started coming less and less until she stopped coming all together.”This all too common story was the catalyst to change in Rachael's church. In this episode, Rachael shares simple steps we all can do to lead to change, strengthen our communities, and love more like Jesus.Join our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

Nell O'Leary, the institute communities manager at Word On Fire, left her job as a lawyer to focus on raising her children and found herself feeling disconnected from community. As she intentionally tried to build new connections through blogging, she realized that many women like herself were longing for deeper ties and belonging, and now she offers her insight into how we can build more authentic relationships both on and offline.   Quotes “I had this interim period of just being kind of hidden and home and longing still for words in my life—for that engagement with the world that only language can do.” - Nell O'Leary  “For community to be deeply entrenched in our hearts, it has to be other women who are leading us and helping us grow in our relationship with God.” - Nell O'Leary “If we're growing in relationship with each other—meaning we're able to be authentic—we're not worried about them judging us, we're not worried about not measuring up. Instead, we are really, truly ourselves. We're able to share our sorrows and our joys.” - Nell O'Leary “Hopefully, those we're surrounding [ourselves] with and allowing only certain people to influence us, is helping us actually be more intimate with Jesus.” - Nell O'Leary “At the end of the day, we really do want that community—whatever it is, whatever form it is—to be authentic and to be leading us back to God. It's never too late to turn back and draw close to Him again.” - Nell O'Leary Guest's Links Nell O'Leary's website Nell O'Leary's Instagram Word on Fire's website Word on Fire's Facebook Word on Fire's Instagram Word on Fire's Twitter   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Word On Fire Perry Mason books Law & Order   Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

The view from leadership of Thanks-Giving Foundation.

Change happens, is the only constant, and is ever-evolving with or without our conscious awareness. Amidst life's kaleidoscope of change is a higher vibration path of synchronicity, purpose, harmony, and flow.We reach this higher vibrational space when we interal-eyes knowledge that is our defense against mind control and consciously choose to think free. It's the way humanity used to live. Life's changes become choices on how we perceive, participate, and positively affect outcomes when we re-align with our nature.Awake and aware, many have embraced the harsh reality that there are those among us who seek to manipulate our life's experience through imposed traumatic changes. Trauma is the basis of mind control. Fear, negativity, division, grief, and hatred are being deliberately used to keep us in a lower vibration  and out of flow with life's higher purpose. My daughter Kelly and I were exposed to this dark plan while deep in the Wash DC swamp among global perpeTraitors under their MK Ultra mind control.Knowledge is our defense against mind control, which is an evolutionary truth that makes us free. Armed with truth, we are free to remember that we have all the power while this dark energy force cabal only has as much power as we give them or let them steal.The infinite power of love and strength of the human spirit is where we win- and they lose. They cannot possess nor suppress our innate, inherent energy source. The most they can do is distract our conscious mind through imposed trauma in an effort to make us forget who we are and why we are here.Those of us who are on to that ploy are refusing to participate in their dark plan.  With eyes to see, ears to hear, and soul to know reality, it is almost comical watching these self-appointed self-anointed leaders frantically try to maintain their illusions while under an increasingly brilliant spotlight of truth.  Once we see through illusions to understand the magic trick, the spell is broken.Kelly and I have waited a lifetime for this evolutionary moment to arrive when awareness has reached critical mass. Together we share deep insight and understanding of what in the world is going on these ‘daze' while people slowly wake up to the dawn of a bright new day.Despite knowing deep in our souls that victory is and always was inevitable, our family motto “It's Not Over Til We Win” has helped us navigate our intense journey and continues to do so to date. Keeping our vibration high in order to see a clear path forward above the storm does not preclude the fact that we also see many still succumb to current imposed traumas. All that is needed is one light of truth for them to rise above the drama and join the global great awakening.Wisely knowing we can only help those who are willing to help themselves, Kelly chose to stay out of the public eye and turbulent current until humanity chose to join that higher path that comes with awareness. Clearly collective consciousness is rising- as is Kelly's voice and presence.
