Nightlife lessons

How I conquered the business of partying with tech
And a glimpse into its future

What could the gritty, chaotic, and obscure world of nightlife teach you about business success and personal growth? How could an insatiable love of partying become a stepping stone to serial entrepreneurship and a solid personal life?

In this lighthearted and perceptive business book, Shane Neman, a three-time startup founder and investor in technology, real estate, and hospitality, details his years building JoonBug.com. After his first startup failed in the tech-bubble-bust of the early 2000’s, Shane started from scratch, building JoonBug into a multimillion-dollar digital events powerhouse that completely disrupted the world of events and hospitality as it then was.

Along the way, with insight, humor, and gratitude, Shane chronicles his personal journey of transformation and success, against the backdrop of New York City’s club scene in the tumultuous beginning of the new millennium. You’ll meet celebs, drag queens, Club Kids, “suits,” bridge-and-tunnel, ravers, and the city’s most influential club owners and party promoters, all mixing and mingling at iconic venues that range from dilapidated warehouses to Swarovski-studded alcoves of luxury.

Nightlife Lessons captures foundational principles of trial and error, success and failure, life, love, and transformation, all through the kaleidoscopic lens of NYC nightlife while predicting how the future of nightlife is yet to be shaped by today’s emerging tech.
