In this episode of The People’s Perspectiv, Meagan sits down with Jacksonville recruiting leader, community-builder, podcast host, and veteran Randall Thomas to explore what’s happening when community feels fragmented—and why people are still finding ways to reconnect. They unpack how COVID, layoffs, and AI-driven disruption are reshaping work and purpose, why ‘third places’ matter more than ever, and how simply getting in the same room again might be a practical path back to trust, opportunity, and shared belonging.
