Excuses to Connect

Hosted by: Richard Lee-Thai

Have you ever wanted to connect with someone, but you stopped yourself? Excuses to Connect is a podcast about actively creating the conditions that make meaningful connections easier. In other words, you can make excuses to connect. Join me, Richard Lee-Thai, as I have conversations with experts, friends, and strangers on their struggles and successes when it comes to human connections. As a listener, I hope that you can take these insights and find excuses to connect with people. You never know how any connection can transform your life.

 

Reviews

“Of the many podcasts to which I subscribe, Excuses to Connect ranks among the best. Richard Lee-Thai's guests are always surprising and highly interesting. I never fail to learn something, and I usually gain new perspectives. Richard is a natural interviewer. He really listens​ to his guests and responds to them in a meaningful way. I often get the sense that I'm not listening to a podcast at all. Instead, I feel like I'm a fly on the wall, privy to a deeply rich, personal conversation between two friends. Best of all, Richard is a self-described introvert, so even though his show appeals to all types of personalities and intellects, he knows what it's like for those of us who struggle with social discomfort. He instinctively knows the right questions to ask. I always come away feeling a little more understood, informed, encouraged, and inspired!”

“I listened to your first two episodes - they were great. I love the idea of talking to a stranger a day and that house on fire analogy for therapy - wow! I also really enjoyed listening to Episode 16! Everything from books (my favourite subject!) to life advice to what’s great about Toastmasters…. You asked some wonderful questions, Richard. It was interesting to hear you and your guest Ron as Toastmasters - such a smooth conversation with none of the ums or cutting each other off that’s prevalent in so many other podcasts. Keep up the great work!”
