@Hey, Stranger! Thoraya I just recently found your channel and I've been binge watching everything I can because I found I really enjoy myself by living vicariously through what you're doing. This is my favorite podcast interview so far, along with the man who died four times (episode 8). I drove a taxi for 12 yrs on the nightshift and so meeting strangers was a job requirement but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would have done it for free if I didn't have to pay bills. I destroyed my lower back driving, it gave me permanent nerve damage or I'd probably still be driving and I miss it so much. I feel like the concept for your channel is so similar to how I interacted with people in my cab, drawing on a conversation from point a to point b was a way to pass the time but also a way to earn trust and gain some permanent customers who became my base income, people I could count on every day. I detached from my family and my material possessions and was driven mostly by spiritual purpose in my cab and did a ton of bartering for rides, I had accounts that i volunteered my services as a way to give back to my community and i grew closer to God through driving a cab than I ever could have by going to any church and learned true empathy and compassion by meeting the people I met every day. I'm disabled now and have no income but I still manage to survive and God always provides ways to meet my needs. I hope you see this comment because I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do - this is the best channel I've watched on YouTube or anything else online for that matter. I don't own a tv or seek out things to do or watch online, I just let things happen organically so I don't believe it's a coincidence that I found this wonderful new source of joy in my life. I love learning about people and the human experience but I ultimately enjoy loving one another above anything else in life. (Love wins!) Thank you for sharing & facilitating so much love!
