The Story
After learning about 1 in 2 adults struggle with social isolation as a result of living in the social media and digital technology age, we set out to turn that around.
We aimed to create opportunities that spark positive human connection in everyday life. That’s when Let’s Talk IRL was created.
Today, Let’s Talk IRL is combating the loneliness epidemic one conversation at a time. Let’s Talk IRL Phone Cases turn the devices that keep us apart into conversation-starters that bring us together and Let’s Talk IRL Hoodies spark real conversations with strangers and friends offline through engaging prompts.
Join the club of people who actually want to talk to each other in real life. Let’s Talk IRL and have a wholesome conversation with a stranger, meet a new friend, and protect human interaction in a world full of screens.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The loneliness epidemic is a term used to describe an increase in social isolation due to digital communication and social media, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. 1 in 2 adults report feeling lonely, with reports especially high among Gen Z.

-
No way! The prompts are a great way to make new friends, but they can also be used to strike up a conversation with a stranger while waiting in line for coffee or even to break the ice at a job interview. The main goal is to spark more in-person connection instead of living through our screens.
