Entertaining

Hosting’s an art—whether it’s a guys’ night or a mixed crowd, you set the tone. I’ve thrown enough parties in my Connecticut home to know what works: good drinks, better food, and a vibe that feels effortless. This section’s about creating gatherings that people talk about, from poker nights to backyard BBQs. Around 50, I’ve ditched stiff dinner parties for real connection. Learn to stock a bar, plan a menu, or keep the conversation flowing without awkward pauses. For guys 30 to 65, this is your guide to being the host who nails it. Expect tips on playlists, seating hacks, and icebreakers that don’t suck. My Detroit hustle taught me how to bring people together—let’s make your next event the one nobody skips.
