Episode notes

What if the future of leadership isn’t technology, but connection? In this episode of Humanity at Scale , host Bruce Temkin sits down with Aaron Hurst , founder of Taproot Foundation, Imperative, and the U.S. Chamber of Connection, and author of The Purpose Economy. Together, they explore how purpose functions as a core human need, why reflection is essential to meaning, and what it takes to rebuild trust in a fragmented society. From skills-based volunteering to AI-guided peer coaching to citywide onboarding for newcomers, Aaron shares thought-provoking insights on why the most powerful tools for change, purpose, belonging, and relationships aren’t just cultural ideals; they’re the infrastructure of thriving communities and organizations.
