I've found opportunities playing beach volleyball, surfing, and at a print shop.
Be open to conversations that happen naturally.
Do you have a fun networking story to share?

The most unexpected place I made a great networking connection was at the airport. While waiting for a flight, I started chatting with a fellow traveler who turned out to be an investor interested in tech startups. That casual conversation led to valuable insights and future opportunities! It was a reminder that networking can happen anywhere, even when you least expect it.

@dedew16 Love this! I give this example in my networking newsletter:
You're standing in line at Starbucks when someone comments, 'The line's never usually this long."
Instead of mumbling something in agreement while staring at your phone, start a conversation. Keep in mind everyone loves to talk about themselves. So ask a question. You already have something in common. You both like Starbucks.
Met a potential client while waiting in line for coffee! Totally random but worked out.
