Story idea – stories as currency

I would say that telling stories is an art and is already a type of social currency – people gravitate towards those who can tell a good story.

September 24th, 2023 – Uber rides

This weekend, I went to a friend’s wedding in New Jersey, and in order to get to and from the venue, I took a couple of Uber rides.
