Your network is your net worth, and it’s shrinking…
You wake up, check your phone. Get work done, on your laptop. Buy your groceries, with a click. Order lunch and dinner, from an app. Watch a movie, on a screen. Go to bed, after one last scroll. A day of life, and you seldom have to talk mouth hole to mouth hole. If this feels normal, that’s because it is. But normal doesn’t mean good, and the data shows we’re choosing this path more than ever. • In-person socializing dropped by over 20% between 2003 to 2023, with the decline surpassing 35% for unmarried men and young adults. • 74% of restaurant traffic comes from takeout and delivery, up from 61% before the pandemic. Meanwhile, solo dining has surged 29% in just 2 years, according to OpenTable. • The typical adult buys three movie tickets a year but watches the equivalent of about 8 movies per week at home. Welcome to the anti-social century where we’re losing our communities.
This is a massive, invisible tax on our well-being, success, and likely our wallets, and it’s costing us more than you think.
More drinks, fewer toasts. More binge-watching, fewer outings. More texting, less talking. For decades, we’ve optimized for convenience. Now we’re paying for it… in terms of health, wealth and mindset. Community shapes who you are, who you become, and how much you can accomplish. And over the next 10 years, the people who understand how to build, nurture, and leverage community are going to win big. This is why I love Real Estate. I’m creating my own community. Agents.

This is what a personal training used to position, tired of comparing and demonstrating how good she is. Not my method is better. Not I’m going to make you lose fat. Nope. Just the reality of what this is about. Have more s€x. That’s it. Being healthier or looking good are just collateral damages. Life is easier with an Ex-CEO on your ear. It’s about progress, personal growth… And of course. Valid for s€x too. What’s collateral damage? I leave that to you. Life is easier with an Ex-CEO on...

Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. I’ve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike.
