Are you a budding yogi and find it a central part of your self-care practice? There is someone out there with the same interest. Do you crave differing perspectives and rigorous debate about ideology? There's a community out there waiting for you to join them.The truth is while loneliness may be on the rise, there are people out there for you. And, as the world continues to reel from massive changes finding people that get you and care about you will be all the more necessary.

Rebuilding a company is one of the hardest challenges any founder can face. But for Justin McLeod, founder and CEO of Hinge, it was the only way forward. In today's episode of Building One, Tomer Cohen sits down with Justin to dive into the journey of rebooting Hinge from a Tinder competitor to the fastest-growing dating app in the U.S., focused on helping people build meaningful, long-term relationships. Justin shares the lessons he learned from tearing down Hinge and starting over, emphasizing intentional product design, clear product principles, and how to avoid chasing engagement for engagement's sake. As the dating app designed to be deleted, Hinge is built around one core goal: getting people into relationships and off the app. Justin's approach to onboarding, user interaction, and product design has created a platform that fosters genuine connections while avoiding the pitfalls of shallow dating apps. In this episode, Justin reveals: Why Hinge intentionally loses 20% of new users during onboarding to ensure better quality matches How limiting user actions can improve the overall user experience and lead to more meaningful interactions The importance of finding good proxies for key metrics, especially when your core goal is difficult to measure (like getting people into relationships) The role of AI as a coach - not a replacement - for human-to-human interactions How product principles can help companies make tough decisions and stay true to their mission  Follow Justin McLeod on LinkedIn.

And yet, society makes it seem like true commitment means merging your entire life with someone else.

It was shortly after Eugene Wong exited the banking world to advance into a senior operations role that he realized the importance of a holistic view. At one meeting, he uncovered a disconnect between product and sales teams that threatened a strategic initiative. By stepping in and aligning priorities, he emerged as a “quarterback,” bridging perspectives and clarifying responsibilities.This revelation set the tone for Wong's career journey. Originally honing his financial acumen at Silicon Valley Bank, he gained close exposure to startup ecosystems and leveraged finance transactions. Later, he pursued an MBA, joined Goldman Sachs to build on transactional capabilities, and returned to Silicon Valley Bank in a senior role. Ultimately, he stepped into the fast-paced realm of growth-stage companies, seeking to become a true financial operator.Today, Wong serves as CFO of Clara Analytics, where he orchestrates data-driven decision-making and fosters cross-functional collaboration. “You can't stay behind spreadsheets,” Wong tells us, “you have to understand what each team does day in and day out.” By meeting regularly with department leads, he seeks to position finance as a trusted partner rather than a distant overseer.Wong credits his “big-picture” focus for sharpening his resource allocation. “Anytime you spend money or time in one place,” Wong tells us, “you're making a bet you can't place elsewhere.”

As an M&A advisor with Quiet Light, Walker helps online businesses navigate their exits. Through his program, Acquisition Lab, he shares his personal journey and practical strategies to teach entrepreneurs why buying an existing company can be the smartest path to growth—and how to do it right.Key Insights:Focus on recurring revenue models. When buying a business, prioritize those with recurring revenue, like subscription models. This gives you a reliable income stream and makes the business more stable, allowing you to plan and scale with greater confidence.Look for underperforming businesses. Find companies that aren't doing well because of bad management or outdated systems. After buying them, improve operations, marketing, or customer service to increase profits and grow the business.Combine resources. If you buy multiple businesses, find ways for them to share resources, like employees or marketing efforts. This saves money and helps all the businesses grow more efficiently.Plan for the future sale. From the start, think about how to make the business more valuable when you want to sell it. Improve profits and streamline operations so you can sell it at a higher price later.Modernize traditional businesses. Find older businesses that could benefit from modern updates like better online marketing or e-commerce. You can increase their value by bringing them up to date.Walker's best advice for entrepreneurs:"If you can bridge the old economy and the new economy, that's actually the very unique opportunity that we have in our lifetime."Connect with Walker Deibel:LinkedInYouTubeXBuy Then BuildAcquisition LabFollow Beyond 8 Figures:LinkedInXWebsite

Rick Wittenbraker is the CMO of Howler Brothers, an Austin-based apparel company that creates some of the most unique, stylish, quirky, and highly functional outdoor clothing for adventurers of all stripes. In a little over a decade, Howler has firmly established itself as the go-to brand for anglers, surfers, travelers, and fun-seekers– the kind of people who value good times with good friends in cool places. - Rick was born and raised in Texas, attended UT Austin, and spent the first years of his career in traditional businesses such as finance and sales. But in 2009, he joined an up-and-coming cooler company known as Yeti, and that is where Rick's genius for storytelling really broke through. He eventually became Yeti's VP of Marketing and was one of the major forces behind Yeti's groundbreaking approach to building a brand through outside-the-box storytelling. Along the way, he met Howler Brother's founders– Chase Heard and Andy Stepanian– and eventually decided to join them and apply his brand-building expertise toward expanding what is now known as “The Howlerverse.” - Rick has been a longtime mentor of mine, and I credit his wisdom and counsel as being one the main factors that have allowed me to build Mountain & Prairie from a silly little side project into my full-time job. And there are countless creatives and entrepreneurs who have a similar story of Rick generously taking an interest in their project, offering his hard-earned wisdom, and expecting nothing in return. So this episode with Rick was long overdue. - We recorded this in Austin, at the Howler Brothers HQ, and we covered a lot, including: Rick's career path, lessons learned from living internationally, his philosophies around building authentic, completely original brands, his ever-present focus on generosity and humility, separating personal identity from brand identity, growing without abandoning core values, the spirit behind the Howler Brothers brand, the Howler Brothers book, some of his favorite books, and much more. - A big thanks to Rick for taking the time to chat with me, as well as for everything he's done to help Mountain & Prairie grow and evolve over the years. Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. --- Rick on LinkedIn Howler Brothers The Howler Brothers book --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 4:00 - Rick's childhood and what he wanted to be when he grew up 9:15 - Rick's first job out of college 11:15 - Rick's mentor in his first job 14:45 - When Rick became interested in marketing 18:00 - When Rick realized he and Yeti were onto something big 20:45 - Inspirations for Rick's style of marketing with Yeti, and why it works so well 25:30 - Fun that Rick has had on the job 27:45 - Why Rick decided to move along from Yeti 29:45 - A bump in Rick's career road 31:15 - Balancing the merits of business ideas and businesses with the people who implement them 38:00 - Describing Howler Bros. 44:15 - How Howler Bros. balances their identity and values with the need for business growth 46:15 - Separating personal identity from brand identity 49:30 - Balancing initiative and recklessness as it pertains to business progress  51:30 - Where Rick's generosity and willingness to help comes from 54:00 - The future of Howler Bros. 58:15 - Rick's book recommendations 1:03:00 - Rick's parting words of wisdom --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
