Parties can be a lot of fun, but they can also be anxiety inducing. How can we have the most fun at parties? And how can we host parties where people feel encouraged to socialize and maybe even make friends? Jolenta and Kristen get tips from Jon Levy, Founder of the Influencers Dinner, and author of the book “You're Invited: The Art and Science of Connection, Trust, and Belonging.”
