Can we talk about how a random guy at the DMV in Reno got me to finally call my old boss?
I sat next to a retired Teamster named Walt for 40 minutes waiting on a license renewal in Reno, and he just started talking about how he regrets not patching things up with a guy he worked with for 12 years. I had been putting off a call to my old foreman for 8 months over some dumb argument about overtime sign-ups, and Walt's story pushed me to do it that same afternoon. We talked for 20 minutes on the phone, buried the whole thing, and he ended up sending me a lead that got me a $2,400 side job pouring a shop slab in Sparks. A 40 minute wait turned into a payday because a stranger felt like talking. Has a random chat ever pushed you to fix something you were avoiding?

Wondering if it's less about the stranger's story and more about being stuck somewhere with no phone signal and nothing else to do. Walt didn't give you advice, he just gave you 40 minutes of dead air to sit with the thing you already knew you had to do.
