We’ve never been more connected… yet so many of us feel completely alone.

In this powerful episode of the Finding Better Podcast, John Suzuki sits down with Keith Spurgin to explore one of the biggest paradoxes of our time — how technology is bringing us closer together while quietly pulling us apart.

From social media to AI companions, this conversation dives deep into why real human connection is fading — and what we can do to reclaim it.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn:

1. Why technology creates a false sense of connection 2. The concept of “pseudo community” and why it leaves us empty 3. How social media and AI can increase loneliness instead of solving it 4. Why relationships — not success — are what truly matter 5. The danger of constantly “restarting” relationships instead of growing them 6. How conflict, when handled right, actually deepens connection 7. Why the future of AI makes human relationships more important than ever

💡 Key Takeaways:

1. Life is relationships — everything else is just details 2. Real connection requires effort, discomfort, and sacrifice 3. Loneliness is rising despite unprecedented digital access 4. Conflict is not the problem — avoiding it is 5. Human connection is a skill, and it can be learned

What if the thing you fear the most right now… is actually the thing that could change your life forever?

What if AI isn’t here to replace you… but to reveal who you really are?

In this episode of the Finding Better Podcast, John Suzuki sits down with Wes Towers — founder of Uplift360 — who faced a moment most people never see coming:

His business… his identity… his life… all shaken at once.

Because here’s the truth: AI doesn’t just disrupt industries… it exposes them.

And sometimes… it exposes you too.

Just a few years ago, Wes was running a successful digital agency. But when AI entered the picture, everything changed.

His industry was suddenly under threat. His company was labeled “uncertain”… even “worthless.” And at the same time — his personal life was falling apart.

He went from building a business… to sleeping under his office desk.

From stability… to complete uncertainty.

But instead of running from AI — he made a decision most people avoid:

He chose to understand it. He chose to adapt. He chose to rebuild.

And what happened next… changed everything.

This conversation isn’t just about artificial intelligence. It’s about resilience, identity, and what happens when life forces you to start over.

Because in a world where AI is getting smarter every day… your humanity matters more than ever.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn: -Why AI is not your biggest threat — but your biggest opportunity -How to adapt when your entire industry is being disrupted -The real reason most businesses fail in the age of AI -How to use AI without losing your authenticity -Why trust and human connection are becoming more valuable than ever -How Wes rebuilt his business after hitting rock bottom -The shift from “doing more” to focusing on what actually matters -Why AI should enhance your life — not replace it

💡 Key Takeaways: -AI will amplify who you are — not replace you -The businesses that win will be the most human -Your lowest moments can become your turning point -Adaptation is no longer optional — it’s survival -Connection will always outperform automation

🔥 What if the reason you feel stuck in life… isn’t because you’re lost — but because you’ve never actually decided what you want?

In this episode of the Finding Better Podcast, John Suzuki sits down with John Salzwedel — coach, speaker, and author of Stop Leaving Life on the Table — who walked away from decades of success as a CEO… after realizing he had everything society told him to want, but none of what truly fulfilled him.

Because here’s the truth: Most people don’t feel empty because they failed… they feel empty because they succeeded at the wrong things.

After spending 30 years building a successful career from the ground up — going from opening mail to becoming the owner and CEO of a national company — John hit a moment most people fear: He reached the top… and realized he didn’t want to be there anymore.

So he made a decision most people avoid. He stepped away, turned down the noise of the world, and started designing a life that actually meant something.

This conversation isn’t just about success. It’s about identity, intention, and having the courage to stop living by default — and start living by design.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn: -Why achieving “success” can still leave you feeling empty -How to cut through the noise and discover what truly matters to you -The simple exercise that reveals your real priorities -Why most people are chasing a definition of success that isn’t theirs -How to stop leaving life on the table — and start living fully -Why fulfillment comes from alignment, not achievement -How to make bold life changes without losing yourself -The truth about purpose that no one teaches you

💡 Key Takeaways: -Success without meaning will always feel empty -If you don’t define your life, the world will do it for you -Clarity comes when you slow down and listen to yourself -You’re allowed to choose a different path — even after “making it” -Don’t leave your life on the table
