The priceless skills we never learned: how to stay calm, say what you mean, and connect meaningfully in any conversation — even when it gets uncomfortable.

Tired of talking to your screen more than real people?

So are we.

We live in a world where:

  • People talk to screens more than each other

  • Small talk feels empty

  • Loneliness and burnout are on the rise

Most of us were never taught the fundamentals of real conversation: staying curious, listening deeply, and handling tough topics with care.

The Lost Art of Random Conversations (LARC) brings people and teams back to something simple and powerful: real human connection.

Our events give you tools to:

  • Start meaningful conversations without fear

  • Listen in ways that help others feel seen and respected

  • Stay calm and grounded, even when it gets uncomfortable

News & Praise for LARC

As seen in….

Random Conversations bud fresh relationships.” Read the article →

Everyone with whom I had a conversation opened up my eyes to different ways of thinking and living. An experience like that is truly energizing. In the monthly two-hour sessions, I met people I never would have known, expanding my circle of friends and giving me the chance to explore my own preconceptions in a friendly, safe atmosphere… LARC requires trust, relative quiet, and a mutual desire to connect that I don’t see in my ordinary life. As a result of LARC, I reached out to others and formed a similar conversation group that meets weekly. It’s become an important part of our lives. People love the chance to have deeper conversations free of all the usual banter, gossip and chit chat that passes for ‘communication.’
— Linda R.C.
LARC is a profound reminder of how the connection we so deeply desire in life is always one conversation away - whether it is finding presence in a chat with a random stranger, or asking that random question that comes to mind while talking with a loved one. Tom Karrel is a master at connecting people across generations and backgrounds in a down-to-earth way… I have gained conversation skills, and always left LARC events feeling energized and fulfilled. I believe everyone can benefit from attending LARC!

LARC invites us to ask the question, then truly listen to the response. In that moment, the magic happens and a deeper unexpected bond is created with another individual whom we may have never had the opportunity to have gotten to know before. It is these kinds of experiences that enrich our lives.
