Host Brittany Canaski talks with Rikketta Franklin, founder of The Social Experience, about building deeper connections by getting to know yourself on a deeper level first.

They discuss how assumptions and trying to read other people's minds block meaningful connection, and why connection starts with self-knowledge, core values, consistency, and boundaries that protect energy. Rikketta also demonstrates her joy-focused conversation card deck that can be used in team and networking activations or as self-reflection journal prompts.
