Hey party people! Today’s episode is all about socializing at events and parties. From making small talk to making business connections, we’ve got it all covered. Join Harp and Maura as they describe and discuss three expressions that can be used to talk about making social connections.

Harp:

When I think of schmoozing, I think of being in a gala or some sort of work event where you’re talking to people, maybe to sell them something or to make some sort of connection.

Maura:

Yup. I picture a room full of a lot of different people. Everyone has a drink in their hand and there are lots of different conversations happening. And we could say that these people are schmoozing with each other.
