Talking to strangers can feel awkward, risky, or downright exhausting. In this episode of The Kindness Podcast, Nicole J. Phillips sits down with photographer and connector Adam Schluter to ask two simple questions. What does kindness look like when we talk to strangers? And what does it look like when we try to connect in a world that feels disconnected?
Adam shares what he has learned from years of listening to people face to face through projects like Hello From a Stranger and Monday Night Dinners. Together, they explore why real connection still matters, how presence changes conversations, and what becomes possible when we slow down long enough to truly see each other.
