Want to be part of my mission to spend 1 hour, 1:1, with 10,000 different people? Book me here and we'll spend an hour together via Zoom (in person if you're also in Philadelphia). Afterwards, I'll write what I remember of your story and will share it to my Instagram audience of 40k+ followers. Nothing formal, not an interview; just a two-way conversation that allows me to introduce you to my audience! :)

My Accomplishments

Since starting my project in November of 2015, I've met over 5,300 people across 90+ countries, and have documented their stories through my Instagram, @robs10kfriends. I've also been featured by some incredible press sources, including the Kelly Clarkson Show, NowThis, ABC World News Now, the New York Post and Ryan Seacrest on his nationally syndicated radio show, "On Air with Ryan Seacrest." Throughout my journey, I've leveraged his social media following of 40k+ people to land partnerships with brands like WeWork and Coca-Cola's Peace Tea. Now, I speak about my journey, and have delivered talks everywhere from Amazon to Shell to KPMG to TEDx to Auburn University to many more!

Why me

I've built the largest, most diverse personal network of any millennial in the world.

Fun Facts

I once stood for 46 hours without sitting or sleeping to raise funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer.

My why

I believe every human interaction, no matter how brief, holds the potential to change your life. I think it's one of the most valuable uses of our time, and I want to help others take advantage of this value. In my mind, meeting new people should be ranked higher than traveling or trying new foods!

I had a great conversation with Rob. I was initially nervous going in as I didn't know what to expect, but he instantly created a calming space where the conversation flowed and I didn't feel like I needed to change myself. Thanks, Rob!

Rob is on a humanitarian mission and tis no small feat to want to talk to 10K humans. Love his energy and his posts afterwards are a blast - so he really knows how to portray people afterwards too. Patiently awaiting the results of the whole experiment 🪷 Be part of it for sure - book him 🤍
