Networking but not for recruiting

I've already secured an offer at a MM bank in the midwest and have recently connected with a VP at a PE firm who offered to get coffee when he's in town. We scheduled for next week but I was wondering what I should be doing during this chat in terms of networking purposes. I'm not trying to spin this into a job in the future, I'm genuinely just curious about this person's career and any advice they might have.
