Huskies section is around 5:00-7:00 ---- At a time when we’re at our most divided, maybe the surprising answer to bringing us all together can be found through sports. In the midst of a loneliness epidemic, AJ Maestas, the Founder of Navigate, explores his own relationship with sports and how it made him a part of something greater than he could have expected when he left Fairbanks, Alaska at age 18. Whether you love football (in the American or global sense), baseball, Taylor Swift, or even if you don’t consider yourself a sports or entertainment fan at all, this talk offers an emotional and engaging look at why the fans in your life act the way they do. Our fundamental need for belonging drives us to find community and shared passion for sports, music, or the many other reasons we gather. #Liverpool #NFL #Messi #ClevelandBrowns #WashingtonHuskies #CollegeFootball #Mariners #SeattleMariners #MLB #WorldCup #Sports #MentalHealth #Belonging #Loneliness #SportsFandom #Football AJ Maestas is the founder of Navigate, a data-driven consulting firm specializing in sports and entertainment.
