#49 Want to Live Longer? Build Community: Adam Miller of Lockton on connection, authenticity, and adding good

Adam Miller walks into a room and somehow everyone in it feels like they belong there. Here's the thing you should pay attention to: the research says that his instinct might be the single biggest predictor of how long any of us actually lives.

Adam is an organizational development leader at Lockton whose entire career, including his own consulting practice, traces back to a single ten-word axiom: uniquely positioning people to be the best version of themselves. He joins Danielle for a warm, funny, genuinely energizing conversation about connection and why the small things are the whole game. And, he reveals a little fun fact about his underwear. You'll leave this one lighter than you started. And probably ready to go add some good yourself.
