We live in an era of infinite scrolls, curated feeds, and algorithms, with each click designed to keep us hooked just a little longer. But the promise of technology has too often become a race for metrics and growth, moving further away from its original purpose: connecting people.


In this episode, we’re speaking to Grace Clapham and Priya Goswami, two people embedded in the worlds of tech and ethical innovation. Grace is the founder of The Worth Club, a movement reimagining leadership, value, and self-worth, and former Director of Community Partnerships at Meta. Priya is a national award–winning filmmaker and co-founder of Mumkin App, an ethical tech initiative focused on feminist technologies. Each of them unpacks how we got here and what it will take to centre wellbeing and community in a tech-first world.
