Customer Reviews
Intrigued connection lover
I used to be the kind of person who would strike up conversations, or give a compliment to random strangers in the elevator or on an airplane or while out for a walk, just to put a smile on the face of someone along the way. Since covid and the pandemic, I’ve stopped having those kinds of interactions- not only with strangers but with neighbors, co-workers and distant family members too.
Ryan and Steven’s discussions are so interesting and relatable. The scenarios they discuss have triggered new thoughts as to the unspoken value of human connection in all shapes and forms. I’m eager to start putting forth intentional effort to make connections a priority in my life once again thanks to Ryan & Steven! Fantastic, thought provoking podcast!!
Loving This
