Let’s Go for a Walk (And Talk)

Conversations on presence, purpose, and being human.

Let’s Go for a Walk (And Talk) is a slow, unscripted series where I walk with people and we talk about life — creativity, presence, mental health, and whatever comes up. It’s honest, meandering, and sometimes surprising. We’re outside, moving, and having real conversations. If you’re into thoughtful connection and slower content, you’re in the right place. Come walk with us. rodjanz1.substack.com
