and as i'm going up to my next flight he's also in line there and he walks up to tommy shaw from styx and it turns out todd is the lead drummer for styx so i'm standing behind these guys and i'm thinking like man i am going to hear this most incredible rock star story you can possibly hear

And they start talking about Tommy Shaw's window coverings.

So I'm listening to this and then I go on the plane and I'm actually sitting next to Tommy Shaw and I'm like, dude, you guys are freaking ruining it for me.

Here I think you're going to be talking about...

Drugs, chaos, all this stuff.

And you're talking about window coverings.

They're normal people too, turns out.

That's what the whole conversation started with.

And then they all started playing musical chairs.

So by the time I was done, I actually sat with every single member of the band on the plane.

So it actually shows you

one of the reasons we should talk to people.

And you study this.

So what happens when people actually do choose to talk instead of being in the quiet car?

Before we continue, a quick note.

If today's conversation is making you reflect on the small choices shaping your relationships, I want to invite you to go even deeper.

This month in our Purpose by Design series, we've been exploring a powerful truth.

Purpose isn't only built through big breakthroughs, it's shaped through everyday decisions.

how you redirect your energy, how you design your habits, and how you build connection.

And that's exactly what I'm exploring each week at theignitedlife.net.
