The world's oldest, happiest, and healthiest people have one thing in common… strong Connection.
And the research shows most of us are missing this key ingredient. Loneliness affects 1 in 4 people globally. Anxiety and social discomfort have doubled among young adults since 2010.
Human connection is a skill—and LARC is where you build the confidence and communication skills to turn strangers into real friends and deeper relationships.
“The strength of relationships is the single most powerful predictor of happiness and longevity.”
- Harvard Study of Adult Development based on 80 years of longitudinal research
The Lost Art of Random Conversations 📕
Your field guide to turning strangers into friends, deepening existing relationships, and navigating an increasingly disconnected world.
LARC Events:
How We Reconnect
-
We haven't lost the ability to connect. We've lost the opportunities and willingness to practice. The problem is fear, habit, and a world that stopped giving us reasons to talk to each other.
-
Go first. LARC starts with strangers because when you can hold an honest conversation with someone you've never met, every other conversation gets easier.
-
The step most people skip. After every event and chapter, we ask: what landed, what surprised you, what would you do differently. The CHATS agreements (Confidentiality, Honesty, Accountability, Curiosity, Silliness) make it safe to be real. This part can't happen alone. That's why community is built into the method.
-
The skills you build with strangers start showing up everywhere. Friendships go deeper. Family conversations get more honest. You stop dreading avoiding conversations and start trusting yourself to handle them. Relationships improve, and the cycle starts again.
Real Stores From the Movement
“I really enjoyed the LARC event in San Diego. Structured enough to guide us, yet open enough to feel completely natural. That balance made it easy to connect with others and be reminded of how effortless it can be to talk with someone new.”
“It was the most impactful meeting of my career. The level of authenticity and integrity built between the team exceeded expectations.”
