Here's a lesson on how to do cold outreach right.
Don't ask someone for "coffee" or a "quick 20 min call"
(or worst of all - "to pick their brain". You brain pickers stay away)
Here's an example of how my cousin hustled & got connected with @chamath

They email it to chamath & go to sleep
They wakeup in the morning to 3 emails from Chamath.
The first - "Holy shit! I love it!"

the cold outreach lesson:
1. If you want to meet someone, don't ask them for time
2. Instead, do something that saves them time, or helps them hit their goals
3. Do it with no expectations...and you'll be surprised how many of them reach out wanting to meet YOU.
