Brené Brown: The Death of Nuance

Trevor and Eugene sit down with professor, author, and The Curiosity Shop co-host Brené Brown for a conversation about connection in an age of constant connectivity. From parasocial relationships and modern media to friendship, community, and the universal desire to feel like we belong, Brené brings her trademark mix of insight, honesty, and humor.

Together, the three explore why genuine human connection can feel harder to find than ever — and why it remains one of the most important things we have.
