Tim,

Really looking forward to speaking with you tomorrow at 2:30 at Starbucks at 24th & M Street.

As I mentioned in my initial outreach, I graduated from Stanford this May and am actively working to identify my first step post-college.

In addition getting to know you — and how you navigated your first few jobs after college — I’d also be interested in learning more about Patagonia. Specifically, I’m interested in the company’s approach to leadership development, a topic that is of great interest to me (the subject of my Senior Honors Thesis).

Ultimately, I am looking for a bit of advice and perspective, from someone whom a trusted friend, Bill, trusts very much.

Thanks, in advance, for the time — I am really looking forward to it. If anything comes up, my cell is 212-555-1212.

– Best,

Ben
