Rob Lawless: Meeting 10,000 New People
This week Andrew talks with Rob Lawless. Rob is on a personal mission to meet 10,000 new people one-on-one for one hour. Rob launched the Robs10KFriends project in 2015 and since then has met nearly 5,000 people across 35+ U.S. states and 85 different countries. He has appeared on the TODAY Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and more. Rob sees his project to meet 10,000 people as a way to lead by example—and show the world what’s possible when you reach out to others and establish new relationships. Andrew and Rob explore the power of connection, how to grow a network, why it's important to learn from people who are different than you, and so much more. This conversation will inspire you to create new connections in your life.
