Just say hi!
Last week, I had a meeting at La Colombe in Fishtown with Josh Detweiler CEO at @AppJaxx. Figuring I would get some work done I went over a bit early. The seating is open bench style. I sat down next to a few folks talking, lo and behold they were talking a bit of tech. As they finished up Josh had arrived. Before Josh and I started to talk I decided to introduce myself, awkward perhaps but I really do have a passion for software and learning from others. I am very glad I just said hi. In his humbleness, this individual told us about his background, his Jiu-Jitsu studios, and the tech projects he has going on. Great conversation and left it there.
Over the weekend in a strange coincidence showing up in my FB stream was a 'like' for a video - "The Road To Becoming a 6th Degree Gracie Black Belt at 39 Years Old" from an old friend about Phil Migliarese. The person in the video, I could swear was the guy from the coffee shop. I messaged my friend and Phil, turns out it is a small world.
