I'm the guy that if you're in the line at walmart with me, I'm going to start talking to you. I've met some down right interesting folks this way. I also travel for work a lot. Talking to people in the hotel lobby is one of my favorite hobbies. I've met CEOs, truck drivers and people on vacation, all of them really interesting folks.

Everyone has a story or a piece of advice to give you. Just ask.




How do you generally start your checkout line conversations?


By not forcing it I guess. You just start thinking aloud. If it's hot, you say it's hot. If you dropped something you say somenthing about that.
