What if one simple conversation could change the course of your life?
In this episode of The Connectors, Jolyn and Quinten sit down with connection specialist Tony Esteves, who shares his inspiring journey of meeting a new person every day for a year. Through personal stories, practical tips, and a heartfelt reflection on overcoming depression, Tony reveals how small moments of human interaction can lead to massive transformation.
We explore:
How intentional connection supports mental health and personal growth
What Tony learned about communication and cultural insight while traveling
Why younger generations need help developing real-world social skills
How gamifying conversations and offering compliments can lower barriers
The role curiosity plays in opening meaningful dialogue
Tony’s story is a powerful reminder that connection is a skill—one that can be learned, practiced, and used to enrich every area of life.
Tony Esteves is a coach, keynote speaker, and creator of the Talk2MorePeople project. His work helps leaders and individuals deepen human connection and improve communication through practical, face-to-face interactions. He’s the author of Talk2MorePeople: Change Your Life by Meeting People and will soon be delivering his first TEDx talk.
