HERE’S WHO YOU HAVE, AND THAT’S ENOUGH — WITH DR. ZEEST KHAN

Published On: June 10, 2026Categories: Interview, Video

In this conversation via Substack Live with Dr. Zeest Khan, we talk about leaving social media, building community that actually matters, and why chasing joy beats the heck out of chasing metrics.

Dr. Khan is a physician living with Long COVID who documents her experience and builds community around chronic illness. We dig into how social media promised connection but often delivers emptiness, what happens when you accept “enough,” and why sometimes the simplest action, like just starting a Zoom call or making a phone call, changes everything.

Other goodies we talked about:

  • When social media stops helping and starts hurting
  • The moment I decided to fully leave Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn
  • Building real community vs. chasing engagement
  • How risk and reward are definitely connected
  • Finding joy in your work when the metrics don’t reflect it
