I am constantly handing out this career/life hack and it baffles me that so few people do this.
It goes like this… you have a special interest/career focus and you see a really interesting person talking about your topic! You’d really love to just invite them out to a bar and have an hour long conversation with them and ask them all kinds of questions about their work… but that’s kinda creepy, you can’t just do that.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, what you do is... wrap that whole process in a meetup! When you’re running a meetup you can totally invite that person to a bar to give you a personalized lecture, you just have to do it in front of a bunch of other people and call it a fire side chat at an event. But this way not only will they not find your invitation creepy, they will be flattered, they will show up, and then they will thank you!!! 🙌
It’s the most genius career hack I’ve found. Why are you not doing this?!?!?!
