Have you tried expert networks? Some of these connect people like you with experts in the industry. Some are practitioners while others are just “thought leaders” so you need to separate the two. They usually cost $xx-$xxx a hour but they’re worth the time and money rather than finding people willing to talk to you

Yeah. There are companies that specialize in these sort of connections. But getting an appointment with a specialist is hard enough much less connecting to a qualitative survey.

In addition the the other comments, maybe you have some personal networks. But expert networks are probably the best bet that doesn't involve personal connections.
