Howdy, I’m Nick Gray

Most people know me as the founder of Museum Hack.

I hate museums. That’s why I started Museum Hack. It was featured in a popular TEDx talk. Then I grew it to a multi-million dollar business. In 2019, I sold Museum Hack in an interesting way. You can read that story here.

I’m also the author of The 2-Hour Cocktail Party, where I share a proven formula for hosting small gatherings that create meaningful connections. My hosting method has been tested by thousands, and I’ve created over 500 case studies from people who’ve used my book!

But what I’m really excited about these days is my Friends Newsletter, and I’d love for you to join us.
