A Big Talk Book!!! 💛
Hi friends! Over 10 years ago, I skipped small talk to ask strangers: “What do you want to do before you die?” Big Talk grew into a movement — and now a book “Big Talk: How to Skip Small Talk, Make More Meaningful Connections, and Enrich Your Life!” which will be released by @tarcher_books an imprint of @penguinrandomhouse on February 24th, 2026. You can preorder the Big Talk Book today by clicking the link in my bio! Thanks for your support! 😊
This book is for everyone — for friends, family, coworkers, students, employees, community members, and yourself. It’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to deepen connections and have the kinds of conversations you see here on @makebigtalk . I hope it helps you strengthen your relationships, make new friends, and find a little more purpose and humanity in everyday life.
Thank you to all of you who’ve supported Big Talk and believed in these conversations from the beginning. If you’ve ever wanted to support my work — or bring more depth into your own life and relationships — please consider preordering the Big Talk Book today!
And thank you to @hospicenursejulie for introducing me to my amazing agent, @trinityjmcfadden ,my editor, @lbappleton at @tarcher_books and the incredible team at @penguinrandomhouse

10 years ago I started @makebigtalk !!!
As with every journey, there have been moments of hope, uncertainty, struggle, triumph, and love. Big Talk has traveled a long way and hopefully still has a long way to go. Thanks everyone for your support on this journey!!! ❤️
Big Talk’s mission is to fight modern day loneliness and disconnection, foster curiosity and empathy, and build community belonging.

🏆 Direct Relief is a four-time winner at the 2026 Anthem Awards! @anthemawards
A collaborative video project with GoFundMe @gofundme, Kalina Silverman @kalinasilverman of @makebigtalk, and Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Hawaiʻi @hmhbhawaii received three Silver Awards and one Bronze Award across four categories: Creator Collaboration, Short-Form Video, Disaster Relief & Emergency Response, and Branded Content or Collaboration.
Created in the wake of the devastating floods in Hawaiʻi, the video features Aunty Blanche of Hui Mahiʻai ʻĀina @huimahiaiaina, who leads a community in Waimānalo supporting more than 100 formerly unhoused Hawaiians. Her story highlights the resilience of communities recovering from disaster and the importance of continued support long after the headlines fade.
We're grateful to Aunty Blanche for sharing her story and to all our collaborators for helping bring it to life. 🧡

Yuri cured his own depression after losing his mom by dressing as a superhero and helping people in need in all 50 states! “This Christmas I plan on visiting one senior in every state to uplift them.” Thank you @afuturesuperhero for making Big Talk! I have linked Yuri’s @gofundme in my bio. Thank you for your support! ❤️
P.S. when that bee 🐝 flew into the camera right after Yuri mentioned him seeing bees as a spiritual sign from his mom, I had goosebumps all over! 🥹🩵

Took James to visit Shanghai, China 🇨🇳 - where my mom was born!! We started with the family in Shanghai and then visited national parks in Sichuan province, which were breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you to my mom for planning such a meaningful and joyful trip filled with scenic beauty, cultural insight, history, shopping, and lots of saucy noodles and bao. 谢谢☺️🐼

While visiting China, I was inspired watching older people in the park every morning - not just working out - but moving their bodies through communal cultural activities like dancing, martial arts, and playing instruments. I met Mr. Zhang, a retired English teacher who shows up at Jing’an park in Shanghai every morning at sunrise to play the bamboo flute.
I would love to feature more people around the world and their inspiring morning routines! Let me know if you all have any ideas!

We gave Kai, a shelter dog, his best day ever!!!
Did you know you can take a dog out for the day, or even just a few hours, to give them a wonderful day?
I took out Kai from West LA Animal Shelter as part of @bfas_la @bestfriendsanimalsociety and @laanimalservices Adventure Buddy Day.
We fell in love with him as we took him to our local coastal cleanup and then to hang out on the beach. It’s only fitting that he loved it since Kai means Ocean in Hawaiian.
One thing I learned, take a shelter dog out for the day, and you’ll meet the most amazing, compassionate people.
We thought we were taking Kai out for his best day ever, but little did we know, he’d be giving us ours. ❤️😭
Kai is available for adoption at West LA Animal Shelter.

I met Ashley at an event and was so inspired by her journey in life to make a career pivot towards following her dreams of studying animals in the wild and helping to advocate for the environment. 🦧 🦒 It was an honor to @makebigtalk with @ash4sm ❤️
