🌴53. The 2-Hour Cocktail Party feat. Nick Gray (Weekend Rewind)

In this episode of the Weekend Rewind, I sit down with Nick Gray, the author of 'The 2 Hour Cocktail Party'. You'll hear about Nick's innovative approach to socializing, which led him to create a thriving community and launch his multimillion-dollar business, Museum Hack. Learn how Nick's formula—name tags, icebreakers, cocktails only, and a strict two-hour limit—can help you host seamless and enriching gatherings. Discover tips on overcoming the initial fear of hosting, the benefits of inviting different groups of friends, and how these gatherings can open up exciting opportunities. Tune in to be inspired to start your own two-hour cocktail party and build stronger connections within your community. 00:00 Introduction to the Weekend Rewind00:28 Meet Nick Gray: The Party Expert01:51 The Birth of Museum Hack03:18 Nick's Philosophy on Maximizing Life04:18 Nick's American Pie Experience05:56 The Two-Hour Cocktail Party Book12:13 Hosting Your First Cocktail Party19:01 Enhancing Guest Bios and Ice Breakers20:10 The Value of Hosting Cocktail Parties22:11 Australian Party Experiences and Learnings24:06 Facilitation Techniques and Icebreakers27:24 Curating Guest Lists and Advanced Hosting Tips33:52 Exploring New Social Gathering Formats36:38 Conclusion and Contact InformationPre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
