Description

 Welcome to the first episode of The Loneliness Industry, where we explore the real causes of loneliness in today’s world. I’m Jordan, and I’m here to help break the stigma around loneliness, unpack its societal roots, and offer a more nuanced conversation about isolation. As someone who has personally navigated the complexities of loneliness, I want to create a place where we don’t blame ourselves but instead look at the cultural, psychological, and philosophical factors that contribute to it. In this episode, I’ll share a bit about who I am, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect from the episodes to come. If you’ve ever felt disconnected or alone in a hyperconnected world, you’re in the right place.
