The Sit-Down Social Network: How Emma McCallie Is Revolutionizing Real-Life Connection with Folx Table

Send us a text

In a world craving authenticity beyond screens and small talk, Emma McCallie, Co-Founder of Folx Table, joins us on this episode of The Renaissance Podcast to share how she’s redefining what it means to truly connect. Folx Table isn’t a dating app, dinner club, or exclusive members-only space—it’s The Sit-Down Social Network, where strangers become friends over meaningful conversations at local spots around Nashville.

Emma opens up about her journey from hosting attic gatherings with “no work, no weather” rules to launching a platform that’s welcomed over 1,500+ people. We dive into why people are done with surface-level chatter, the magic of vulnerability, and how asking questions like “What’s the greatest lesson you’ve never learned?” can shift an entire room.

If you’ve ever felt the itch for deeper connection, or wondered how to build community in an increasingly disconnected world, this episode is your invitation to pull up a chair, talk to strangers, and connect to something real.
