Chuck McCarthy of Los Angeles, California, aka “The People Walker”, has hacked the gig economy to take on loneliness. For $7 a mile, he’ll walk you wherever you need to go, acting as a chaperone/chauffeur hybrid who doubles as a therapist, a friend or whatever else you’re looking for in your sidewalk strolls. What’s more, Chuck benefits too: he’s lost weight, made new friends, and found new perspectives while running — that is, walking — his own business. #walking #exercise #friendship #friendships #smallbusiness thepeoplewalker
