Building social capital on a train

[John-Paul Hatala]

I'm sitting on a train heading out to another conference writing this blog entry. Thanks to technology, you can now get the internet while moving in a forward direction at over 100 miles an hour. Who would of thought! As I sit here looking around I can only imagine the number of social resources sitting in the seats. I've spoken to a few individuals, had some small talk and even met a gentleman that can help me out with an issue I'm having with my lighting at home. It truly is amazing where relationships can be developed and information shared, even on a train. All we have to do is keep the act of networking top of mind and anything is bound to happen.
