0:00.0	Welcome to the Jasmine Star Show where just before we press record, I screamed. I am so awkward and I couldn't be more excited to have Nick Gray. Now, here's the thing. Y'all know that when I bring people on the show, I really like to have personal relationships before them. Nick doesn't know this, but he's my pretend internet friend for a very long time. I've been sending him DMs. I don't slip into his DMs. I'm
0:21.7	literally bulging right in and be like, I got opinions on opinions. I just, the way that he is
0:26.7	curating his content has resonated deeply with me because as you all know, I'm a very high
0:32.1	introvert. And what Nick does seems alienesque to me. He is very social.
0:38.3	He wrote a book about a cocktail hour.
0:40.3	We're going to get into that in a second, but this is not about the book.
0:42.6	And this is not about cocktail hours.
0:43.9	This is about creating human-to-human connection that not just empowers you to develop in your personal growth journey, but also as an entrepreneur.
0:50.7	I couldn't be more excited to welcome this show.
0:52.6	Nick Gray, thank you for being here.

1:18.8	And if it's an introvert who's watching this, please leave a note in the comments and let me know if I'm understanding that.
1:23.4	Right.
1:24.2	But it's that you get the energy from the one-on-one, or even is this draining for you?
1:30.4	Are you afterwards? He's like jockeying for attention. I could be in a room with very other people. We're all siloed and we're work focusing on something.
1:44.5	I feel good in that.
1:45.4	But it is a big mixing of people and having to interject myself into a conversation because I won't.
1:51.0	And so I have a tendency to stay against the wall by the fried foods.
