When Nick Gray first moved to New York City he went to a bunch of networking events, failed to make meaningful connections, and always left feeling like a loser.

Eventually realising he was not the problem - it was the events, he decided to start hosting his own. This led him to writing his book ‘The Two Hour Cocktail Party’, and now helps people around the world take networking into their own hands.

In this episode of Tiger Therapy, we discuss how to host the ultimate networking party, how to get past feeling “cringe” when promoting your brand on social media, and Nick’s entrepreneur journey - prior to The Two Hour Cocktail Party he built and sold 2 multi-million dollar companies, including Museum Hack, that was listed as one of Inc. 5000’s fastest growing companies in America.
