How to Bring the Human Back in Human Connection

In this episode, I sit down with Vaish Sesetty and Cyrus Belsoi, the founders of Pique — a human connection organization based in NYC on a mission to bring the human back to human connection. We get into how Pique evolved from a dating app into a full community experience built around in-person events, vulnerability, and genuine connection of all forms. We talk about the Love Wall, creating safe spaces for authentic interaction, what it actually means to build community in a city full of people who are somehow still lonely, and why adults deserve playful environments that challenge everything we think we know about how connection is supposed to look. This one is warm, real, and a reminder that the most radical thing you can do right now is just show up for each other.
