1 thing that makes us feel happy and live longer is positive relationships with romantic partners and friends. To remedy this sometimes intimidating process, Julie Rice and Elizabeth Cutler created Peoplehood, a "workout for your relationships", to help people find community.

While the company has been in beta mode, Cutler and Rice are not disclosing pricing until launch. "We realized that connection should be its own product," Rice told the Times.
