Last Wednesday was the best networking day I've had all year
Walked into a coffee shop near downtown Houston and ended up talking to a guy named Mike from a logistics firm for over an hour. He gave me three solid leads and bought my coffee. Has anyone else had a random conversation turn into something way bigger than you expected?

You described my last three coffee shop chats perfectly, anna.

Oh man, I gotta respectfully push back on this one. In my experience those long coffee shop chats usually just end with me buying their coffee and never hearing from them again.

That's rough, and I feel for you. It's happened to me more times than I'd like to admit. You sit there for an hour talking about everything from their dog's name to their travel plans, feeling like you're making a real connection, and then poof. Nothing. It makes you wonder if they were just bored and needed someone to talk to for a bit. Maybe the coffee shop is just a bad place to really get to know someone, you know? But still, it stings every time.
