01. You. What you do, what you like, why you like them. If you do something really interesting, I might never stop asking questions. Or if you do something I’ve never heard before, I might ask you to explain it at length. It’s almost never boring to me.
02. Science, technology, research, studies, and innovation. These are normal things that people like, right? I really have no idea.
03. Stories. Personal or read, heard, or experienced. Can you say, “This American Life”?
04. Design & art. Not all of the time, but preferably when we’re either right in front of the piece, or we both know it. Otherwise it could be a really painful conversation.
05. Advice. Who doesn’t like some sage wisdom?
