As humans, most — if not all — of us are biologically hardwired for connection. Yet, despite living in a world where technology makes connecting with others easier than ever, so many of us are feeling a sense of loneliness and experiencing disconnection, instead. This can wreak havoc on our mental health, especially at fast-moving, ever-changing startups. So, if you're tired of all the burnout, stress, and whiplash, that gets normalized in the tech startup world — or, the misconception that founders must sacrifice their own mental health for success — then, this show is for you! At the intersection of mental health + tech, 'Wired to Connect' will empower you to redefine success in the startup ecosystem. Wired to Connect. Improving relationships with mental health + tech, one episode at a time. 𖨆𖨆Co-hosted by: startup mental health therapist, Lisa Birnbaum + startup leadership coach, Marisa Birnbaum ♫Theme song by: Andrew Fisher 🎨Cover artwork by: Lou Brown, aka @Goodstrangevibes / goodstrangevibes.com
