☕ CoffeeChat Weekly: Unexpected Partnerships, Listening, & Side Projects

Opportunities & Insights from Across Our Community

Jul 17, 2023

Happy Monday!

I've been tweaking my podcast interview prompts lately, asking my guests more about their experiences with our peer coaching network.

And let me tell you, I've been blown away by how many people have shared that their peer coaching conversations have led to actual business deals!

It's incredible to see how CoffeeChat, while not designed for this purpose, has created a platform for individuals to talk about their biggest professional challenges in a safe space — and also discover partnership potential along the way.

Be sure to check out today's new episode of The Everyday Leader, where I sit down with Adebola Adeniran, the Chief of Staff at the YC-backed fintech startup Moni. You'll hear another example of how these conversations can lead to exciting professional opportunities!
