Episode: Mingling Matters: What the Decline of Happy Hour Says About Modern Life
Description: Happy hour used to be where careers were shaped, friendships were formed, and mentors emerged. Now, it’s disappearing.
In this episode, Michael explores a Wall Street Journal report on the decline of workplace happy hours—and what that loss means for young professionals, workplace culture, mental health, and social connection. From listener stories to generational insights, Smerconish makes the case that mingling isn’t just fun—it’s essential. Are we trading human connection for convenience, and at what cost?
