Are we more connected than ever—or more alone than ever before?
In this powerful episode, Michael Unbroken sits down with connection expert and Friending founder Gabor Kadas to unpack the growing loneliness epidemic and what it’s really doing to our mental, emotional, and physical health.
Despite constant access to social media, smartphones, and digital communication, millions of people feel isolated, disconnected, and afraid to build real relationships. So what went wrong? And more importantly—how do we fix it?
In this conversation, Michael and Gabor break down the hidden psychological impact of technology, the illusion of online friendships, and why real-life connection is more important than ever in a world moving toward AI, remote work, and virtual living.
You’ll learn why humans are biologically wired for in-person connection, how screen addiction is affecting our well-being, and practical ways to step outside your comfort zone to build meaningful friendships in real life.
If you’ve ever felt lonely, disconnected, or stuck behind a screen—this episode is for you.

* Why loneliness is at an all-time high
* The false sense of connection created by social media
* The mental and physical health effects of isolation
* How technology and remote work changed human relationships
