Episode 32: Networking With Marissa King

As the world slowed down during the pandemic, our social connections started to shrink. We stayed in contact with our close network, but those on the fringe started to fall off. It's estimated that our networks shrunk by about 17%.

What kind of impact does that have on our overall happiness and wellness?

Marissa King, Yale professor and leader in the field of networks, dives into that discussion with her new book 'Social Chemistry: Decoding the Patterns of Human Connection.' She studies how the structure of your networks can increase your quality of life and even strengthen your relationships. She also explains the differences in social networks and why some people may be better suited for creating larger networks.

I've been fascinated by this idea for some time now, so I appreciated the opportunity to catch up with Marissa. I only wish I had more time with her to dive deeper into her work.

In this conversation we talk about the impact the pandemic has had on our social connections. And, even though our networks have shrunk, is it all bad? Or did the situation give us the opportunity to shed some of those toxic relationships.

I hope you enjoy the interview.
