Running into People I know in the City
About this episode
It’s Wednesday, May 13, 2026. I’m coming to you from a sun-drenched plaza in Barcelona after a morning of journaling, coffee, and a serendipitous run-in with a friend. Today, we’re talking about "Social Surface Area." Why does living in a walking city feel so different from living in a driving city? We explore the biological spark of the "unplanned encounter" and how to manufacture that feeling even if you’re stuck in suburban traffic.
I hope you enjoy it! As always you can learn more and connect with me on my website (andystorch.com) or LinkedIn. And you can find my books - Own Your Career Own Your Life and Own Your Brand, Own Your Career - on Amazon.
