They will learn how to turn tragedy into life purpose and connect with others.
In this episode, I share the story behind The Friend Magnet—my system for helping shy, socially awkward, and neurodivergent folks build deep friendships and real-life community. After leading over 2,000 events and working with people from all over the world, I’ve learned what actually works when it comes to creating lasting connection—especially for those of us who feel like we don’t quite fit the mold.
I also talk about the launch of The Happy Spot in New York City, a brand-new initiative designed to bring neurodivergent professionals together for real-world networking and community support. Our first event is happening at The Producers Club in Manhattan, and it’s just the beginning of something bigger. If you’ve ever felt out of place at traditional networking events, this might be the space you’ve been waiting for.
