Instead, it’s something far more counterintuitive: subtraction.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why visibility doesn’t equal meaningful connectionThe difference between being seen vs being knownHow over-functioning erodes real relationshipsWhy modern work creates “connection without depth”The role of strong ties vs weak ties in wellbeing and leadershipWhy loneliness is a design problem, not a personal failureThe concept of a subtraction strategy in business and lifeHow doing less can increase clarity, creativity, and connectionConnect with MichWebsite: creatingcadence.coSubstack: creatingcadence.substack.comBook: thecadenceeffect.comAbout This Podcast:Creating Cadence is a podcast about what it really takes to work well and live well in this fast-paced world.
