Two people discuss how the past five years of pandemic and AI have shown us we need human connection. Speaker A says accountability and honest self-reflection changed their life, and that slowing down to face our inadequacies is where real growth happens.

You think about the last 5 years between the pandemic and COVID, the lockdown. Now we've got AI, which is supposedly dehumanizing everything. It's like the last 5 years has been this journey to stress how important human connection is.
It was a lesson we all needed to slow down and learn, right? And some of us did and some of us didn't. But for me, it was a huge learning moment and it brought out all of my inadequacies in a beautiful way. Because once you're accountable and stop making excuses, man, the beauty that comes through is impressive.
