Coffee with Lex Fridman

Coffee with Lex Fridman
I'll be traveling a bunch soon, across US and across the World. Along the way, I'd like to meet interesting people from all walks of life, and chat over coffee. So, if you want to chat with me, anywhere in the world, please fill out this form. Further details are provided here.

Privacy: Everything in this form is kept 100% private. I'm asking you to provide name, contact info, etc., and I'll be sure to keep this info private to me (Lex).

Info: Please provide as much detailed info as possible (all relevant fields if possible). It helps me know you're a real human being and someone I can trust. That said, most fields in this form are optional.

Goal: If you know me it's probably obvious, but I should make it explicit: The purpose of this chat is not transactional in any way. With this meeting, I have no interest in money, sex, networking, business partnerships, a pitch for a new big idea you have, etc. I'm simply looking for a genuine human connection, a brief conversation, and to learn more about this beautiful world of ours.
