"Have you met Ted" - the second-degree introduction

0:49

I was watching reruns somehow of How I Met Your Mother yesterday. And one of the things from that show is: have you met Ted?

So the law of almost a second or tertiary connection is a really good one too. Not to just go and say like, oh, I don't know you at all, let's talk - that can be weird for people like Chris and I that are maybe a little more socially weird.

But Casey kind of did this last year on accident, I think, and it was to meet Jay Schwedelson. She came up and said hey to me as I was talking to Jay, and immediately made that connection.

So that's pretty easy to do. Hi, I'm Casey, and my friend's Rob. That's how it goes. It gives you a really easy in.
