Andrew Dowling is the founder and CEO of @stitchdotnet and WipeOutLoneliness.org. He is an internationally-recognised social entrepreneur who has been featured in TIME Magazine, The New Yorker, Forbes, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, The Australian, Bloomberg TV, Sydney Morning Herald, and more. ‘Stich’ is all about community and companionship for anyone over 50 and it is the world’s largest companionship community created by members, for members. Andrew and I spoke about the loneliness epidemic and how it impacts physical, mental and emotional health, the role of social connection in healing and wellness, the dangers of retirement, developing tech for the over 50’s (whoever they are), making friends as we age, dealing with feedback, fish that nibble your feet (really) and lots more. Enjoy.
