## Resource

In a world increasingly driven by technology and superficial interactions, the quest for authentic human connection has never been more vital. In this conversation with Liz and Philip Watson, Pete Michaud ( CFAR , UpTrust ) shares his transformative journey into relational meditation practices. Pete's background in software engineering intersects with his journey into Relatefulness. He observed a disconnect among his peers in the tech world, where intellectual discourse often overshadowed emotional connection. Recognizing the importance of addressing this gap, he sought to share the essence of being human beyond mere intelligence. "I knew it had to be different than just doing really good math," he asserts. This perspective drives his commitment to fostering genuine connections in a technology-driven society.
