About Mingling

It seems a mingle is a thing, and not just in Swedish! But what do we want to get out of them, how do we go into them, and how do we create good ones?

Do you want resonance or hole-poking when you tell people about your plan to arm toddlers with nuclear weapons? Do you want to successfully mingle nerds, or just hit the snacks hard?

The foood, the cake, the coffee, and the old classmates. Too hot, too loud, too crowded.
