If connection is what makes us human, why do we keep pulling away? And at what point does hiding my pain become more painful than the pain itself? In this episode, we take you inside one of our past Summits as Nate Mitchell explores the idea that humanity isn’t something we carry inside ourselves but exists in the space between us. Through stories and raw conversation, he reveals why isolation feels unbearable: because it’s not human. We only truly exist—as selves, as souls, as human beings—in connection. Ideas we explore: 2:55 – Humanity lives in the space between us. 6:50 – Pain isn’t the problem—disconnection is. 9:50 – If we’re made for connection, why do we run from it? 21:45 – Fire needs friction and so do we. 27:30 – The two ways to get out of isolation. To learn how you can apply these ideas within your team and organization, schedule a strategy session!
