Who doesn’t love a good cocktail party?

Watch our conversation on Youtube!

I love going to events and meeting new people but gosh, sometimes I feel like I’m not even keeping up the great relationships with the amazing people I already know! Cue this book: The 2-Hour Cocktail Party by Nick Gray.

After reading the first chapter, I set a date for my cocktail party and luckily, the day after, I debrief it in this conversation with the author of the book Nick Gray.

Nick Gray moved to New York City with few friends and less-than-stellar social skills. But Nick craved new relationships and exciting opportunities. He started hosting non-traditional parties—a move that opened doors he could never have imagined.

Today, after hosting hundreds of 2-hour parties, he counts business owners, artists, and inspiring teachers among a circle of friends that helped him launch a multi-million dollar company called Museum Hack. Featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, Nick has been called a host of "culturally significant parties" by New York Magazine.

In this conversation, you'll hear Nick discuss:

• How Nick started his career and founded the Museum Hack
• His book, "The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to build big relationships with small gatherings."
• Who is the book's target audience?
• Why did you write it?
• What is the value of hosting 2-hour cocktail parties?
• Where else should we go?
• The book itself is joyful: illustrations, layout, checklists, and templates.
