Ever thought about the impact that 100 coffee conversations could have on your career and networking opportunities?

In this episode, we dive deep into Matt Ballantine's 100 coffees project, exploring the ins and outs of making meaningful connections in a post-COVID world.

Matt Ballantine, has almost 3 decades of experience in transformation initiatives -- as he puts it -- getting people and tech to work together better. He's worked for a wide range of organisations like Reuters and BBC.

 And today, he's an engagement manager at Equal Experts, a London based consultancy. And a podcast host of WB-40 where he talks to guests about tech and how it's changing the way we work.

In our conversation, which feels much like what I expect a coffee conversation would be like with him, I ask him all about the project -- the origin story and lessons learnt.

And we still manage to cover topics like:

-       The liminal spaces at work vs water cooler moments

-       Apophenia -- the human ability to make connections in unrelated things,

-       how protestant work ethic gets in the way of a project like 100 coffees.
