On episode 145 I am joined by Cat Moore, speaker, writer, consultant, and Director of Belonging at the University of Southern California (USC).

Cat’s passion is to help people create lifestyles of belonging. Cat loves to activate leaders and small groups of people to create the conditions for connection that make life great and change the world.

Cat created CLICK™, "The Everybody Connection Method," through 20 years of study and 10,000+ conversations in the trenches of LA neighbourhoods being friends with real people from every walk of life. She learned to Connect, Listen, Investigate, Communicate Kindness + Keep in Touch.

In the episode you will hear:

03:30 the coolest title I have is Mom
