Prep for coffee chat with MD

So I recently got lucky and found out my girlfriend’s close family friend is an MD at a bank and he invited me for a coffee chat. I’ve been a financial analyst for the last two years but more so related to financial controlling. How should I prepare for this (research and skill preparation wise). I come from a lower class family from Germany and live in the US now so the only info I have on investment banking is from what I read online. Thank you for advice I can get!
