Co-founder of pinksocks.life , Nick Adkins, joins us to talk about kindness. Nick says, "when I gift the socks, I always look the other person in the eyes and say 'Every time you wear your pinksocks you’re going to make people smile! People will come up to you and ask you about your pinksocks. That’s your opportunity to connect with another person, that had you not have been wearing your pinksocks that day, the two of you would have missed each other in the universe. Don’t miss that moment to connect and share space! Get off your bike, stay on the train or bus for another stop, look each other in the eyes and connect. That’s what we’re here for! Don’t miss it!'”
