Nick Gray is a professional party creator. Yeah, that exists. After two multi-million dollar exits, Nick started writing articles on his blog, sending out a free monthly friends newsletter, and hosting great small parties. Then, he got so good at it... that he wrote a book on it. In this conversation, we focused on how the best way to make friends as an adult is to host great cocktail parties (that don't have to involve alcohol).    (0:00) Who Is Nick?  (2:14) Why?  (3:55) Nick’s College Startup  (6:33) Hosting Parties  (8:11) Advanced Parties?  (18:08) Icebreakers  (24:23) Social Anxiety  (26:01) Cocktails?  (35:20) Little Known Tricks  (39:40) 500-1K Person Event  (40:35) Creating Deep Connections  (44:20) Starting Business  (48:18) Creating Online  (56:01) Guesting At Parties  (1:02:01) Closing Words  -  Nick's Links   Blog:  https://nickgray.net/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/nickgraynews/ Book: https://party.pro/book/ -  My Links   🎙 Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1532160275/view   🐣 Twitter: https://twitter.com/heydannymiranda   📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/heydannymiranda   🕺 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@heydannymiranda   🚨 Newsletter: https://dannymiranda.com/tuesday-treasure

Welcome to Episode 250. Since Episode 100 was a Q&A, I figured it made sense for Episode 250 to be one as well.    You can learn if I'm going to move to Austin, whether everyone should podcast, my major regrets, what my podcast consumption is like, and my current biggest struggle.   I really enjoyed doing this, and perhaps I will do another one when we hit 10,000 subscribers on YouTube or for Episode 300... whichever comes first.  Thank you for the thoughtful questions!

Zach Pogrob is an entrepreneur who’s building Peak Photo Booths. In the past five years, he’s gone from working the photo booth at weddings to starting his own company.    Since we recorded our first episode, Zach's become a great friend. First, he hired me as a photo booth attendant last summer. Then, we bonded over content, creators, and new media. But what’s interesting about Zach is as much as he loves business, he also loves to study the obsessed. While building his photo booth company, he also started an Instagram page – @behaviorhack – that has almost 200,000 followers. In addition, he’s deeply studied people like Christian Guzman, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Alex Hormozi to figure out how they’ve amassed massive followings. This conversation was a mix of all our interests.
