Get ready for an inspiring and thought-provoking episode! Join Sunny and Mayank as they sit down with the remarkable Chris Hope, the brains behind the 100 Coffee Movement initiative. Chris takes us on a profound journey, sharing his personal experience of starting up this incredible movement with a mission to combat disconnection and create a sense of belonging within local communities and beyond.

As the conversation unfolds, Chris, Sunny, and Mayank dive into the crucial role that human connection plays in our lives, and how technology can either aid or hinder our ability to form meaningful relationships. They also explore the delicate balance between convenience and connection, which is often overlooked in today's fast-paced world.

The three also delve into the power of self-reflection and gratitude, and how identifying our core values can lead us to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be inspired by this captivating discussion.

Hope you enjoy the listen. 💙
