39. Curating a Dating App That’s Meant to Be Deleted with Justin McLeod Feb 12, 2021

Show notes

Hinge has boldly positioned itself as a different kind of dating app, which replaces engagement metrics and retainment stats for real connection and authenticity. They don’t want you to use the app more — they want you to never have to use it again.

We dig into Hinge’s unique algorithm, which intentionally sidesteps the soul-destroying cycle of speed-swiping and ghosting. Justin reveals how Hinge has evolved from a dating app to a modern love expert service, and why the business of love beats any other day job.

38. Why Alli Put a Ring on Boutique Jewelry Brand, Becket + Quill | with Meredith Quill Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

It’s high time you all met Alli’s new business partner, Meredith Quill. It’s her first time on this podcast, but most certainly won’t be the last.

Together, they’ve launched a hand-crafted jewelry collection, Becket + Quill, inspired by Meredith’s grandma’s decadent jewelry box from childhood. We reveal how Alli went from fangirl to business partner, working side-by-side with Meredith to restructure the marketing elements of the independent label. They share their visions, roadblocks, and the creative process it took to get them to both reach the point they’re at today.

It’s an exciting time for everyone here because the website launched on February 1st, just in time for Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day.

37. Shit We Love: Generating Love Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

Love’s in the air! We’re approaching our 16th month together, and February has us all in amor-mode, so we thought we’d share our new relationship ritual with you all.

It’s been super-helpful for us to get into the habit of expressing what we’re grateful for every night and bring important subjects we tend to sweep under the carpet to the surface. Communication is crucial to all relationships — business and personal — and this has proved to be a great tool for us to both feel seen and valued.

Try it out for size and tell us if it works for you!

36. Three Day Rule: Relationship Roundtable with Founder Talia Goldstein & Matchmaker Rebecca Macias Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

It’s no secret that Adrian and Alli met through Three Day Rule, the matchmaking service for those who are ready to date more intentionally. And today, we’re going to pull back the curtains and show you what that was like, for us and for the people who matched us together.

We’re joined by Talia Goldstein, the founder of Three Day Rule, and Rebecca Macias, the matchmaker who personally orchestrated our connection. We talk about the current dating climate for singles, defining partnership non-negotiables, and dismantle the ‘stigma’ attached to hiring a matchmaker to find the relationship you want.

We’re so grateful to Three Day Rule for their incredibly intuitive process which bought us — and thousands of others — so much joy.
