a number of fair points. best point: agree with avoiding the big lunch groups as those conversations can get carried away.
on the other hand, i am a big proponent of setting up lunch meetings with one other individual. you can plan ahead what you want to discuss, and more than anything, you open yourself up to their entire network. think about how powerful that is!
i guarantee they know at least one person "you should meet..."
at the same time, don't force a lunch meeting when there's always plenty of quality videos to watch or reading to be done during a break.
- HackyGeeky 16y agoThat's interesting. I agree building network is just as important as learning. I think it depends on the stage you are at. These are more for bootstrapping and getting started, which has a lot of inertia with it.
- thewordpainter 16y agoi think it's most helpful for those that are just getting off the ground, but from an experienced entrepreneur's perspective, consider how much they stand to learn from a sitdown with a young gun. especially if they operate a company that appeals to the b2c market, it's essential for them to understand how the younger demographic perceives and digests in an ever-changing marketplace.
