You're Not Getting Any Younger


Oct 28, 2018

Chances are you're feeling lonely. Most Americans are either unsatisfied with their friendships or feel super alone in this world. It can be hard to give yourself the motivation to change that. That's where Jillian Richardson comes in.
 
Jillian is the founder of The Joy List, a weekly newsletter which features events that New Yorkers can go to by themselves and leave with a new friend. She’s also the co-founder of NYC Community Builders and the author of an upcoming book about the most powerful ways to create belonging. When she’s not gathering people, Jillian is ghostwriting thought leadership for CEOs or dancing badly… yet enthusiastically.

1. Why most Americans are lonely
2. Why making friends is hard
