A couple years ago, on a 7-day kayak camping retreat in the absolute middle of nowhere Maine, I got crystal clear on why I exist on the planet. I am here to gently eradicate small talk and create conversations that matter.
Today, instead of giving you more of my own advice on this topic, I’m going to share some tips from Brandon Stanton, the man behind Humans of New York.
Brandon is a master at going deeper in a conversation – he’s able to pull total strangers off the streets of New York City, who he tends to meet randomly, into a real connection.
If you watch today’s video, I promise you’ll be able to do the same – go beyond small talk and really dig into who a person is and what makes them tick.
