Mon & Metwally - That One Time I Bought A Bar In New York

How do you make friends in a city where you know nobody? My co-host Monique Medved, who had just earned her skydiving licence and was starting a charity to build a school, sat me down to tell how a four-day stop in New York turned into six weeks, more than 50 hours of DJ gigs and a minority share in a nightclub.

I share the lessons behind it: sleeping on Joe Fowler's couch, what The Art of Asking taught me, the woman at Burning Man who told me to accept the gift, and why one cafe you visit every day beats any bar. Mon opens up about almost quitting at stage six of her skydiving course and the fear of leading she had to face before starting her charity.

You walk away with a plan for any new city: be kind, ask for help, say yes and keep showing up.
