“If you reach out to somebody and you say, hey, I saw a flower at the mall and it made me think of you. And if you wrote them a hand note, you know, 40 years ago, or if you texted them that 10 years ago, that has extreme value because you assume that you don't talk to this person a lot, but you saw a flower and you thought of your friend.”
