At the end of 2022 I set myself the goal of, in the year ahead, having coffee with 100 people. This was driven by a few factors.

At the end of 2022, Matt Ballantine launched into an experiment called 100 Coffees. He set a target to have 100 hour-long conversations with people over the course of 2023 without an agenda, or really much idea why other than to see what happened. This guide draws on Matt’s experiences to see how you might be able to bring a bit more serendipity into your own working life.
