Hello, Stranger

Bit of a different kind of episode, this conversation was a kind of reflection point for me in the midst of starting Hello, Stranger. Jordan has been a long time friend of mine and has really impacted me numerous times, and this conversation was no different. I really reflected on I was discovering the why as I went, and how as much as this was a new container of sorts, I'd been having these kinds of conversations my whole life.

It has a different kind of flavour, and I learnt a lot from it myself - sometimes my excitement led to missing doors which would have be an opportunity to drop in more with him. I'm grateful for his grace here in letting me be fully enraptured by the exuberance of this period.

Hope you enjoyed this convo with Anna :) I re listened to it fully at the time of realeasing it and it was a reminder for me of the wisdom that builds when we commit to conversations (and life, at large) as a journey.

I'm in the midst of delivering on a promise I made 4 years ago to release the full season of conversations. They are nothing more, and nothing less.

You can DM me on Instagram @andrew.riis

Hope you enjoyed this convo with Jack :)

4 years on and I still believe wholeheartedly that there is depth, beauty and inspiration inside everyone when we take the time to listen and connect...

Would love to hear your thoughts - you can DM me on instagram @andrew.riis

This conversation was an end in and of itself - the fact it happened was more important than the fact it was recorded ;)

So keen to launch the remaining 9 conversations soon... they still remain some of the most meaningful work of my life so far. Say hello on IG: @andrew.riis

Is it possible to connect with anybody at all and have a conversation that enriches our lives?

I’m Andrew Riis and welcome to the experiment. I believe there is depth, beauty and inspiration inside everyone when we take the time to connect. This podcast does just that.

Each episode is a conversation with someone that is or used to be a stranger. Perhaps we don’t need scholars or celebrities to create a meaningful podcast... Maybe some of the best stories are tucked away, folded into the pockets of random passers-by, of people who may have just never been given a space to tell their story.

Listened to the conversation? Now it’s your turn. On the other side of hello, anything is possible.
