In this episode of Zero to CEO, I speak with hospitality entrepreneur and belonging expert Dan Berger about the true meaning of belonging and its impact inside and outside the workplace. Dan shares insights from his book The Quest, where he explores the psychology of belonging and provides a framework for building it intentionally. We discuss the difference between DEI and belonging, how they intersect, and the role workplaces play in fostering real connections versus surface-level inclusivity. Dan also shares his experience designing spaces and experiences that help small teams cultivate deeper connections and a sense of shared purpose. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on how belonging shapes our lives and careers.
