OM DENNE EPISODE
I remember being struck while watching the end of the movie, "Into the Wild." The protagonist is on a solo voyage to Alaska to find himself. As he lay dying, he scribbles “HAPPINESS IS REAL ONLY WHEN SHARED.” Human connection is so vital. It is necessary for mental health. It is necessary for human achievement. It is necessary for peaceful civilization.
In this episode, we are talking with Jim Marggraff, who is an inventor, and who devotes himself to human connection. Jim is also very active in local Rotary Clubs and Rotary International. His contributions to Rotary are innovative and provide mechanisms for the 1,200,000 member club to communicate more effectively within the club, and for groups anywhere. He speaks to us about technologies that are being used to help people struggling with isolation and Covid related problems. He speaks about a new non-profit organization that he help create, The Global Impact Group. This organization uses technology to improve human connection and social welfare. Jim also speaks about another venture, Kinoo, which is focused on advancing childhood well-being and improving family connection.
