About this episode

We spend a lot of time thinking about how to have conversations with people we care about. After all, these are the relationships that have the biggest influence in our lives. But what if we spent as much time thinking about the conversations we have with strangers? Could there be new experiences we’re missing out on that would enrich our lives?


Our question this episode: how do you start a conversation with a stranger that might serve as a lead-in to friendship?
