Long-form conversations about real human connection... We are people, people!!! Let’s act like it! Let’s tap into our human instincts as social animals to reconnect with each other, to organize with each other, and to replenish the world with the best of what we as humans have to offer. We are people people. We aren’t just nice... we understand that the world we dream of is built from our choices... our intentional social choices to shake hands, to have great conversations, to build purpose-filled relationships, to collaborate and to organize together. We choose to be Socially Excellent. We choose to matter deeply to the world through the people around us. We choose to engage fully with the magnificence of everyone we encounter. We choose to reconnect a disconnected world. We are people, people. Let’s act like it! The PEOPLE PEOPLE PODCAST is a production of The Social Excellence Project.Read more »

You're one of us, aren't you? You're a people person. But you get that being a “people person” isn’t just about being chatty and smiley and super-duper nice, it’s about transforming the world through relationships. You're one of those people who understands that HUMAN CONNECTION is the key to everything. You're one of those people who understands that humans are social animals, and we're all deeply longing for real, meaningful, deep-spirited connection in all aspects of our life. You're one of those people who understands that the secret to creating the world you want is found in your ability to connect. You're one of us. We are people people. And you found our show.
This is a special bonus episode featuring the host, Matt Mattson, and his daughter Elliotte. Listen in to try to imagine human connection through the eyes of a child. There’s a button above if you want to buy a copy of the book that Elliotte wrote (referenced in the episode).
So, no kidding, here’s the story of this episode. When I was still just imagining what this podcast could be, I ordered a bunch of equipment. Microphones, pop filters, etc. When my portable lapel mics came in the mail, I opened up the package, plugged them into my phone, and went looking for someone to test them on.
And no joke, my oldest daughter was in her room, sitting on the floor, reading Social Excellence: We Dare You. (And no, I hadn’t assigned it to her!)
That’ll work!
I sat down and started recording. I honestly didn’t think I’d ever use the recording. It was the first “interview” I had done and I was kind of just goofing around. But after listening to it (and I might be a little biased), I thought it was podcast gold! Try to see the world through a kid’s eyes. Try to imagine their point of view. Remember the simplicity of friendship as a kid, and how it started to get complicated in late elementary school, middle school, and high school.
I hope you find some simple and meaningful lessons in this episode. It also includes an audio excerpt from the TEDx talk I did a couple of years ago that features a story about my kid.
