Sending a follow up email after coffee chat

Hello guys, hope all of you are well! I just had a coffee chat with an IB associate and wanted to send him an email thanking him for his time while also asking for help in expanding my network. He seemed very laid back so the email doesn't have to be very formal but I still want to ask him to refer me to someone who will enjoy talking to me as much as I would enjoy learning from them This is what I have so far "Hey Name, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time out of your day to talk to me and the insights you offered about the future of the industry due to the changes in the revenue structure."

But I wanted to know how to ask for a reference. Thank you in advance.
