Who is Pin Socks?
We’re a community of over 300,000 happy smiley people who are united in changing the world from the ground up, with heart speak, hugs, and gifting. The pinksocks movement began in healthcare, and is now growing in all kinds of industries around the world! We’re all about working together to activate solutions to help move us forward. Politics, bureaucracies, and legacy systems have unfortunately done the polar opposite of what each of us as humans want……which is to be connected!
In this episode of Visible Kindness, I sit down with Nick Adkins — co-founder of the global Pink Socks Life movement — to talk about what it really looks like to scale kindness through human connection.
Nick shares how saying “yes” to life changed everything after losing his father, how Burning Man helped him reframe what matters, and how a simple pair of pink socks became a global invitation to connect, gift, and truly see one another.
We also talk about the difference between connectivity and connection — and why a world flooded with noise is starving for real human presence.
We talk about
The “Say Yes” mindset — and why life is happening right now
How Pink Socks became an organic global movement
The “I see you” exercise and why it hits so hard
Why the gift isn’t the socks — it’s the moment of connection
“Crap vs. cone” — what you choose to focus on in every now

Nick shares how saying “yes” to life changed everything after losing his father.
