Today we have Rob Lawless on the podcast. He is on the journey to meet 10,000 new people! Having done this for almost a decade, Rob has met over 7,000 people. Rob and I first met when I reached out to him to be one of the people he met. We had a great conversation, which turned into a great friendship. This is Rob's second time on the podcast and today we went over in depth how his journey has really helped him choose his perspective in life. He discusses how understanding other people's perspectives, helps him understand his own.
