In this episode, we discuss the study of a wild mushroom that when eaten makes you see tiny colorful people. Then we move inside to discuss the decline of Americans hosting/entertaining in their homes. While the stats are sad, Amber gives us hope with ideas and tips on how to entertain. And how she believes we need to ditch the vanity metrics when it comes to hosting and think about it as community organizing.
About this week’s guest: Amber is the founder of the event company and supper club, To Be Hosted and the creator of the newsletter and media platform, While Entertaining. Her new book Your Turn To Host, is out now. Her work has been featured by Good Morning America, The New York Times, Vogue, The Cut, and Better Homes & Gardens.
