People Walker

Hello !

Thank you for all of your continued support.

My son is headeding to preschool (feels like college), so I will be returning from my hiatus this September and available, in a limited capacity, to walk in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles.

Let me know if you are interested and maybe we can walk it out!

Thank you,

Chuck

I'm sorry I've been slow to post and slow to respond. We have had our hands full between the pandemic and our new Baby People Walker, Charlie.

I hope you are all safe and well and taking life one step at a time. That's what I'm trying to do. That's all any of us can do.

Keep on walking!

I'm now safely social distance walking with people in the Los Griffith Park/Beachwood/Franklin Villiage area.
Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.
Keep Walking.

Try walking and talking with a stranger! You'll feel even happier!

Happiness, says one researcher, is the sum of many positive moments throughout the day. Something as simple as a friendly chat in the elevator can boost your mood. So put down your phone and try it.

If you know any angel investors or maverick venture capitalists that want to disrupt the sitting industry, please share this with them.

We've all heard of dog walkers. How about People Walkers? Crazy idea? The more you think about, the larger the implications, and the more you may want to thr...

We made it our mission to create positive life momentum through movement and connections.

I believe we have succeeded time and time again.

Unfortunately, we have not secured the outside funding needed to continue to provide the People Walker App as a way to connect people with safe and reliable walking partners.

As of today, we will be shuttering the People Walker App until further notice.

Is this the end of People Walker?

No.

Many successful startups have stumbled and fallen before rising to greatness, and I doubt that any of them had as much love and support, as you all have shown us.

Thank you!

Chuck McCarthy
President, People Walker

The other day, I went for a walk with Hollywood Actor Jeremy Luke - . His life advice? "Live life like you're livin' life, not like life is livin' you. I'm always walking, hiking, doing something- going, going, going, because if you're not going, you're not going nowhere."

We have opened up the app nationwide and it is "LIT"! We need Walkers everywhere! If you don't see your city listed, just pick Los Angeles. GPS will let people know where you are.

If you heard about us on Ellen, and you're interested in walking, download the People Walker app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store!

Chuck went on a walk with actor Mather Zickel, and asked him questions. Mather answered the questions. Here are the answers.

Mather Zickel is an actor. He's been in plays, television shows, and movies. His IMDB credits go on and on. I was going to try to write a great description of his career to let you know how big of a deal he is, but then I came across an article on Decider.com that

If anyone knows how to live their best life besides Oprah, it has to be Björk. What does she think people need to do more? Walk.

Yes, we see the irony of sharing this on Facebook.

She compares using the social media platform to eating three hamburgers.
