Roger drives for Uber, in Chicago, as a full time job. He is in his mid sixties, and talks with pride about his daughter at UF (University of Florida for the uninitiated). She is a scientist who specializes in cell
Biology. Someone who is a lot smarter than I will ever be. The pride in his voice is visible.
I meet very interesting people who are Uber drivers. They are men and women from various walks of life, making a living like the rest of us. I like Kevin Jenkins idea — a podcast on Uber drivers and their untold stories. Can’t wait to get that on the cards.
At the end of the day, life is about meeting interesting people. Uber provides a treasure cove of unique personalities.
