The "Robs10kFriends" project, led by Rob Lawless, is an initiative to meet and spend an hour with 10,000 different individuals, aiming to celebrate human diversity and foster genuine connections. Rob travels around the United States, and occasionally internationally , meeting people from various backgrounds and documenting these encounters. The project underscores the importance of empathy, emotional intelligence, and authentic human connections, emphasizing the value of meaningful relationships in an increasingly disconnected world.
