Let’s now jump to the main focus of our interview. What we can do is try to support each other in various ways. I feel each person experiences loneliness at some point in their lives and there’s no one that can be the judge of how you feel. I wouldn’t consider myself the authority on the topic but as an individual who experienced and at times continues to experience loneliness it can lead to many destructive behavior. With everyone’s busy schedules, it is easy to forget the simple gesture of checking in, and we don’t realize how important close bonds between families and friends across the globe are.Ĭan you share with our readers a bit why you are an authority about the topic of the Loneliness Epidemic?

In midst of the pandemic, we have all felt the loss of direct human interaction and Just Checking In is reducing the health risk of depression and suicide triggered in these trying times. Just Checking In Mobile App, an app that helps keep you automatically connect to family and friends, to avoid isolation and loneliness. It was a long night.Īre you working on any exciting new projects now? How do you think that will help people? I first planned on staying awake until I noticed how normal everyone made it look. I was extremely shocked by the number of people who found their corner or chair and created their fort. After waiting all night for a standby confirmation. But for the sake of the question and staying on topic, I recall my first time having to sleep at the airport so I wouldn’t miss my 5am flight. Interesting? That’s a really difficult question because of the many scenarios I’ve been in. My being busy was a symptom of my anxiety and depression.Ĭan you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started your career? It wasn’t until this pandemic that I realized I was masking a deeper issue. I spent so many days alone with my computer working late and missing family events that I started justifying my success with individualism. I spent many days alone, which built my entrepreneurial muscle. I begin my entrepreneurial pursuit at a very young age walking miles from door to door to provide any kind of lawn service. Which developed into this feeling that no one ever stays in my life.
Growing up we consistently moved so I was forced to establish new friendships. I’m the guy that can take any situation and attempt to turn it into a positive. Can you share your “backstory” with us? What was it that led you to your eventual career choice? Thank you so much for doing this with us! Our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better.
