@avantgame I get this all the time. I ask them to forward a one-paragraph precis of their project and offer a phone/Skype call. -
@rachelsklar You will hop on the phone/Skype with random people? you are more generous than I am :) -
@avantgame Well it's the downgrade from coffee. It depends on the friend/ask. Skype for mentor-y calls. But only if it works! Life is busy!

@avantgame lol...well that's vague. Personally, I try to accommodate as many intros as possible bc you never know where opportunity lurks.
