And you won't believe why!
The journey is called 'Let's Talk.'
This project is rooted in a deep concern that we are losing touch, isolating ourselves in protected, personal spaces.
It's about putting down your phone and getting out to talk to people.
What is the goal?
To spark a national conversation about conversation.
It highlights the value of face-to-face conversation in a digital age.
Not condemning technology, but rather highlighting what a simple conversation is capable of.
He started in Washington DC and will end in Los Angeles, CA.
The journey is over ~3,000~ miles!

He is running with only a small cart filled with supplies.
He camps every night in people's yards and in the wild.
