Rob Lawless is on a mission to connect with 10,000 strangers 1-on-1 for 1 hour each. No strings attached. No qualifications needed to meet. Rob purely wants to create an authentic relationship and meaningful conversation with each person he meets. In his own words, Rob wants to leave each meeting with a new friend.
Six years into his journey and having met with over 5,000 new friends has led Rob to be featured on the Kelly Clarkson Show, the TODAY Show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and many more places. He's also amassed a following of 41K+ on Instagram and speaks at colleges and large corporations. But the followers, speaking engagements, and talk show appearances are merely Rob's vehicle to -- in his own words -- bring more empathy into the world and teach people how build better relationships.
At a time when genuine and deep human connection is needed more than ever, Rob is leading by example. In today's conversation Rob reveals what he's learned on his extraordinary journey thus far, including how's he's turned a passion project into a profitable business, why empathy is the key to building better relationships, and how we can build more intentional and meaningful connections with those around us.
Rob brings a down-to-earth perspective, incredible passion, and wonderful kindness to our conversation. I promise you'll leave this episode with more positivity, energy, and kindness than when you entered it!
