This question has been asked, but I will ask again. In light of the upcoming meetups everywhere, I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of ice breaker questions, so we can make it easier for people to start conversations.

A few questions that have worked well for me:

  • What do you think about when you're not thinking about work?
  • How did you get into ACX/SSC/LW/EA?
  • What's something you've been putting lots of effort in recently?
  • What have you been thinking about lately?

Any other prompts?
