The Business Elevation Show Where Good Matters · 2026-05-15 · 58 min
About this episode: How do we solve the growing crisis of disconnection affecting our society, workplaces, communities, and personal wellbeing? At a time when loneliness, declining trust, polarisation, and superficial online interaction are becoming increasingly common, the need for genuine human connection has never been greater. In this episode of the Business Elevation Show, Chris Cooper is joined by visionary social entrepreneur, bestselling author, and connection pioneer Aaron Hurst. Over the past two decades, Aaron has founded influential organisations focused on purpose, belonging, social impact, and community, including the Taproot Foundation, Imperative, and most recently the United States Chamber of Connection - an initiative dedicated to rebuilding trust and addressing the growing crisis of social disconnection. Aaron is also the bestselling author of The Purpose Economy and helped develop one of the first measures of employee fulfilment in partnership with NYU.
