This might be good advise for somebody trying to go through a career transition where the role they currently have and the social network attached to it doesn't give them an opportunity to talk to people that can help them through a lunch conversation. For people that have lunch access to talented resources they can learn more from that hour and can it be the best hour of your entire day. To summarize, don't waste time on non-productive activities... everyone will agree with that... for all of the readers lunch has the opportunity to be more than just the latest office or industry gossip... find those good lunches and capitalize on them.
