Welcome to the Social-Engineer Podcast: The Doctor Is In Series – where we will discuss understandings and developments in the field of psychology. In today’s episode, Chris and Abbie are joined by Judd Shaw. Judd is an adventurer, storyteller, and agent of change, blending his background as a lawyer and President of Judd Shaw Injury Law with a passion for human connection. With over two decades in law, Judd initially chased professional success, only to discover its hollow rewards without genuine human bonds. Through introspection, therapy, and collaboration with professionals, Judd developed the Connection Cure framework—a compass guiding individuals toward authentic connections, essential for deep, meaningful relationships. 

As a celebrated keynote speaker on authenticity and vulnerability, Judd shares his transformative journey to inspire others. As a proud father and advocate for personal growth, Judd continues to champion authenticity, urging others to embark on their own path to fulfillment through genuine connection and self-discovery.
