Hosting a party is the easiest way to gather and get connections. This is the highlight of Nick Gray’s non-traditional book called “The 2-Hour Cocktail Party” where you learn how to party with rules and start new relationships that could potentially lead to business. Nick is the founder of Museum Hack and worked closely with his parents in Flight Display Systems, where he had his first taste of running a business, an experience he will be sharing here in the latest episode of The Disruptive Successor. HIGHLIGHTS Introducing Nick Gray Father-son bonding with selling Getting closer through the business Each other's "fiefdoms" in the business Starting and selling Museum Hacks Family-owned vs. hired gun The idea behind "The 2-Hour Cocktail Party" QUOTES Nick - The best part of working in a family business: “Working together brought us so much closer, and it's something that I wouldn't change for the world.” Nick - Role in the business with his mom and dad: “I lead a lot of our recruiting. So a lot of our hiring, I led all of our marketing and marketing extended to our print manuals for the products, the specification sheets, our magazine ads, our website, all the boxes, everything visual that was involved in the business.” Nick - Taking his own path and starting his own company: “It just wasn't something that I really wanted. I wasn't begging to be lined up for that business and that part of the country, and so ultimately, about a year before the business sold, I had kind of left and started my new company.” Connect with Nick and learn more about his work: About Nick Nick’s Website Nick’s Blog If you enjoyed today’s episode, please subscribe, review and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.
