Nick Gray is an interesting man. He built his first company, Museum Hack, by offering non-traditional tours of museums, starting with the MET, when he lived in NYC. By "nontraditional art tour" I mean showing the most expensive art piece, or the most controversial, or the least commercially successful artist. It was not about teaching Art History 101 but giving people a memorable experience in a great location.He's taken this expertise and applied it to networking. Best of all, he shares it all with me in this podcast episode on making new friends, aka networking now. By creating your own 2-hour event, a 2-hour cocktail party, even if you don't drink, you can meet interesting new people, have REAL conversations, make connections and help others to do the same.
