And when we're not engaging with each other.

on a regular basis, then we're missing out on all of those worlds that are around us, you know?

And I think every time we walk out of the house, we can be surprised by who we meet.

Absolutely.

I mean, I travel when I'm traveling for work or travel alone a lot.

And, like, I'm a closeted introvert.

I would say people are really surprised to find out I'm an introvert because of my work.

But I love bringing a book to a restaurant and, like, the people watching is unmatched.

If you sit at a bar with a book and, like, have...

a two-course meal and a couple glasses of wine, like, you will meet, you will observe a lot of characters.

They may or may not engage.

Like, anything can happen when you eat alone.

I'm, like, a big supporter of that.

And I think it's important, whether it's eating alone or otherwise, like, to put ourselves out of our comfort zone every once in a while and not have the safety blanket of other people and see what happens.

Thanks so much, David.

So nice to chat with you.

Thank you so much for having me.

Well, I kind of go both ways.

I mean, my gut initial reaction is like, oh my gosh, that sounds so sad.

And then I kind of talk it back being like, okay, well, I eat alone a lot or if I'm traveling or like, you know, maybe they just caught a bunch of people on their way back from somewhere.
