Conversations that make time disappear

Massey finished our 5-mile walk and headed across the street for tacos.

Saturday morning routine. The Walk, quick bite, then home.

Forty-five minutes later, he walked back to his car.

The parking lot should have been empty by now. The walk ended almost two hours ago.

Instead… 

Eight people were standing in a circle, completely absorbed in conversation. Hands moving. Heads nodding. Someone laughing. The kind of body language that tells you nobody's checking their watch.

Massey walked over. They welcomed him right back in.

The topic? How to foster real community. How to create events where people actually feel seen. The kind of conversation that makes you forget you're standing in a parking lot in the 100-degree Texas heat.

When someone finally pulled out their phone to check the time, everyone burst out laughing.

It’d been nearly two hours since the walk officially ended. Two hours of standing around talking like they had nowhere else to be, right after walking and talking for 5 miles.

Because in that moment, they didn't want to be anywhere else.

Massey said it best: "It's special to find a place where conversation occurs so naturally that time disappears."

That's the thing about real connection. You forget to check your phone. You forget about your to-do list. You forget you had other plans.

You're just present. Engaged. Alive. Time Disappears.

Life-Changing Conversations 🔥

It isn’t always rainbows and unicorns out here on the trail… sometimes, the walk throws a much-needed truth bomb into your life.

Johnathan is a two-time exited founder. He was stuck in a toxic co-founder relationship.

One Saturday, he met Kurt on the walk. First-timer. Startup investor who'd seen plenty of co-founder drama.

Kurt gave him advice: "Talk to your co-founder and gauge his willingness to see a 'marriage counselor' for business partners. If he's open to the idea, then he's open to working out your issues."

Johnathan had the conversation.

Turns out, his co-founder was NOT willing to work out their issues.

That told Johnathan everything he needed to know about what the next five years might look like.

So he quit.

His words: "A conversation I had on the walk directly led to me leaving my company and beginning the next phase/adventure of my life. So I quit and haven't looked back!"

This is the kind of serendipity the walks bring. You can't plan for it. But when you show up, you meet the exact person and hear the exact thing that changes the entire trajectory of your life for the better. 

And Johnathan isn't alone.

Across all our cities, walk hosts share similar stories each week.

Someone quit their corporate job after a conversation about purpose. Someone ended a relationship after realizing they were settling. Someone started the business they'd been putting off. Someone moved cities after talking about what "home" really means.

The walks don't give you answers.

They help you find them for yourself, through the best walking mastermind on the planet: honest conversations with curious people who ask good questions.

When there are no set answers, your questions have room to echo. To sink into the quiet space between words. To surface truths buried deep in your heart. To create space for the clarity that’s been knocking on your door every so gently.

The Natural Evolution 🪴

Which is why people keep coming back.

Week 1: "That was amazing. I'll definitely come back."

Week 5: "I've met some incredible people here."

Week 10: "This is the highlight of my week."

Week 20: "I've made some of my closest friends through these walks."

Week 50: "How can we take these conversations deeper?"

This is the natural progression. Once people find this level of connection, they don't just want Saturday mornings anymore.

They want deeper conversations about specific topics. Ways to stay connected between walks. Smaller, more intimate gatherings. Relationships that go beyond the trail.

And they start creating it themselves.

Over the last 3 years, thousands of real connections have bloomed from our walks.

Regulars organize dinners. Host events. Plan trips together. Start book clubs and workout groups and creative projects of all kinds. They invest in each other, with time and care and even money sometimes. They become each other's accountability partners, celebration crews, support systems.

The walks introduced them, and they kept the conversations going.

We’ve seen time and time again that this event is a shortcut to meaningful connection.

Strangers become chosen family. Depth unfolds so naturally that people say “Wow, I’ve never shared that before” at least once a week.

Once you've tasted that level of connection, you want more of it.

The question becomes: What's next?

Something New is Brewing ✨

We've been asking ourselves the same thing.

17,000 people have walked five miles together. They've had conversations that changed their Saturdays, their perspectives, and sometimes their entire lives.

And many of them are asking us: What if we could go deeper?

What if the conversations didn't have to end after 5 miles? What if Saturday mornings were just the beginning?

The walks will always be free, open, and accessible. That foundation never changes.

But something new is brewing. 

Something for people who feel the magic and want to dive deeper into it.

If this sounds interesting... join us for the next adventure.
