Summary

‘Tis the season of gathering with friends and family. It’s also a time where some of us yearn for a closer community, like this week’s listener. Morgan is looking for a way to hang out with friends in a consistent, meaningful manner.

She tells us how to create an event that meets a need with the right rules and the right guest list. She even has tips for sprucing up your next holiday party.
