The Lost Art of Talking to Strangers

from An Army of Normal Folks · host iHeartPodcasts

53% of Americans ages 18-29 say talking to strangers is exhausting. But small interactions with everyday strangers actually make your life more meaningful. In this Shop Talk, Bill and Alex dig into why everyday human connection has declined and how you can integrate it into your life. This one is a reminder that community isn't always built through grand gestures, it starts with just saying hello. You weren't designed for isolation, you were designed to be in community with others.  ARMY ACTIONS Subscribe to the podcast and rate & review us!
