Description

In today’s episode, we’re unraveling the surprisingly tangled web of human connection—because apparently, you’re just six degrees (or one thirsty DM) away from Beyoncé. We’re talking propinquity (aka the science of proximity), cloutulence (yes, that’s a word now), and why your barista’s cousin’s roommate might be your next big break. From 1920s short stories to Kevin Bacon’s philanthropic side hustle, we’re tracing the roots of the “small world” theory and how it powers everything from job offers to viral TikToks. So whether you’re networking like a pro or still wondering how you ended up in a group chat with your ex’s dentist, grab your iced matcha and let’s map your social universe.
