Solving Loneliness if Just for One Night
Support the show by becoming a member of the Something More Society. Exclusive episodes + ad free listening, and more intimate ways of connecting.On January 30, in Denver, Colorado, we brought together 52 strangers, gave them each an equal voice and role to play, created structured rules and an atmosphere of deep engagement and we witnessed firsthand how intentional gatherings can spark meaningful connection, purpose, and belonging. We collected answers from attendees to take the segment "humanity is in the comment section" to the next level, sharing real responses from real people in the room on topics like loneliness, purpose, inspiration, and one rule or law for a better society.
