Why You Should Embrace Handwritten Notes: Tomer Alpert on Building Deeper Personal Connections

10/9/2024

In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Shine sits down with Tomer Alpert, CEO and founder of Felt, to explore the power of authentic human connection in an increasingly digital world. From handwritten cards to the joy of creativity, Tomer shares his journey of building a platform that brings people closer through tangible, meaningful communication.

Dr. Shine kicks off with her own story—a 100-day challenge to capture and share something yellow every day, using Felt to send personal notes to friends and loved ones. This practice deepened her relationships and uncovered a surprising sense of fulfillment, setting the stage for a rich discussion about creativity, discipline, and the impact of small, intentional gestures.

Tomer delves into the philosophy behind Felt, explaining why he believes tangible connections resonate more deeply than digital ones. Through candid storytelling, he reflects on how his love of handwritten notes inspired him to create a platform that combines modern convenience with old-school charm.

  • Dr. Shine’s 100-day project: How a daily creative challenge can transform relationships
  • The emotional power of handwritten cards in the digital age
  • Why small, intentional gestures matter more than ever
