Episode 363: Meaningful Online Connections with Misha Glouberman

by Mike Vardy

Misha Glouberman, communication expert, teaches you how to build meaningful online connections without the Zoom fatigue.

Misha Glouberman helps people communicate better. He teaches communication skills, runs meetings and conferences for organizations, hosts live events, and speaks at conferences. He is the author, with Sheila Heti, of the book ‘The Chairs Are Where the People Go’ – which the New Yorker named as one of its top nonfiction books of 2011. He relays everything he knows about communication, conferences, relationships, making friends, monogamy, playing charades and more.

10 years on from writing the book, I catch up with Misha to find out what has been going on in his life. In this episode, we discuss what 99% of conferences aren’t doing, how to make meaningful online connections and the social and technological design considerations for good online networking.

Talking Points

  • Misha’s focus on building connections during the pandemic
  • Dissecting the problem with remote events
  • Why so many conferences fail to deliver a true experience
  • Lessons from improv
  • Innovation from uncertainty
  • The power of vulnerability and reconsidering your social networks


“There are things that are really important to us as humans, so why do we make them hard to say?”

– Misha Glouberman
