Can This App Help Us Build Real-World Connection? with Brad Steckart, Founder of Sit By Me

In this episode, I sit down with Brad Steckart, founder of Sit By Me, an app designed to help people connect in real life, in real time.

We talk about the story behind the app, why starting conversations can feel harder than it should, and how technology can serve as a bridge to real-world connection rather than a replacement for it. Brad also shares the personal experiences that shaped his work and what he’s learning about loneliness, courage, community, and creating more natural opportunities for people to meet.
