Trust • Exploration • Authenticity: Creating Relationships Through Honesty, Consent & ConnectionIn this episode of Teatime with Miss Liz, we welcome Victoria Joseph — Certified Professional Matchmaker, Dating Strategist, Founder & President of Birds of a Feather Matchmaking, U.S. Navy Veteran, ENM Educator, Community Builder, Speaker, Writer and Event Host.Victoria specializes in ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and founded Birds of a Feather Matchmaking, a specialty boutique matchmaking firm serving people exploring ethically non-monogamous, open, polyamorous and swinger/lifestyle relationships.With more than 10 years of personal experience with non-monogamy, Victoria brings both professional expertise and lived experience to an important conversation about relationships, communication, consent, boundaries, trust and authenticity.Her work goes beyond matchmaking. Victoria is also a Dating Strategist for men entering ENM spaces, helping clients better understand communication, expectations, authenticity and how to navigate these communities respectfully and confidently.As an educator, community builder, thought leader, writer, speaker and event host, Victoria works to create space for open and respectful conversations about consensual non-monogamy.At the heart of her message are principles that can apply to relationships of every kind:Honesty. Communication. Consent. Boundaries. Trust.Before becoming an entrepreneur and matchmaker, Victoria served in the United States Navy, bringing another dimension of leadership, trust, responsibility and human connection to her life's work.What would you say to someone listening who recognizes themselves in this conversation but has been afraid to talk about their relationship needs for fear of judgment?And what would you say to someone who doesn't personally understand or agree with non-monogamy but wants to become better at respecting people whose relationships look different from their own?Today's conversation isn't about convincing anyone to choose one relationship structure over another.It's about understanding.Putting the word ethical in front of something doesn't make it ethical.Our behaviour does.It's found in honesty.It's found in communication.It's found in informed consent.It's found in respecting a person's yes — and respecting their no.Victoria's T-E-A brought three important words to the table:Trust. Exploration. Authenticity.Trust asks us to create emotional safety.Exploration asks us to remain curious without forcing someone else to follow us.And authenticity asks us to be truthful about who we are while remembering that another person's authenticity matters just as much as our own.Whether someone chooses monogamy, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, an open relationship, the lifestyle — or chooses to remain single — the labels themselves don't determine whether a relationship is healthy.How we treat one another does.Victoria Joseph, thank you for bringing a different conversation to the Teatime table and giving us an opportunity to replace assumptions with education.Thank you for pouring your T-E-A."Love can take different forms, but respect should never lose its meaning. Trust requires truth, exploration requires consent, and authenticity requires giving others the same freedom to be honest that we ask for ourselves."— Miss LizTrust • Exploration • Authenticity

Season 26, Episode 23 - Shaun Boyce, Bobby SchindlerSummaryDavid Pyrzenski, founder of CourtMatch.ai, joined the podcast to explain why he built the platform as a player first rather than as a coach or admin. He walks through the member first approach that puts community, matchmaking, and engagement at the center of club management, and shares how CourtMatch fits into the space between simple court reservation systems and full club automation suites.Key Topics* David's path from lifelong tennis player to software developer to founding CourtMatch.ai* Why CourtMatch is built from the member perspective rather than the club admin perspective* Where CourtMatch sits in the market: more than court reservation, less than full club automation* Matchmaking, group chats, photos, and the social features that make an app feel like an extension of the community* The nickel and diming problem with add on modules across the club management space* Why David believes competitors will start looking more like CourtMatch over time* How the pickleball and padel booms are reshaping what clubs need from their software* David's answer to our signature question, if you were king of tennisKeywordsDavid Pyrzenski, CourtMatch.ai, club management software, racket club software, racquet club software, member engagement, matchmaking, tennis club software, pickleball club software, padel club software, court reservation, GoTennis podcast, ARA, American Racket Sports Association, Agency Vendor CoFounderSound Bites"I love our direct competitors. I hope they keep raising the bar and keep pushing us and we keep pushing them, because it's only gonna benefit the clubs, the members, everybody's experience.""It was just like a tool. It wasn't an extension of community, it was just a tool to use. That was what was all missing, that engaging other people and creating that community.""The competitors out there will all start looking more like CourtMatch over time.

“North South Man Woman” co-director Sun Kim returns to the NK News Podcast to discuss the five-year process of making the documentary, which follows North Korean defector Yoojin Han and her matchmaking agency connecting North Korean women with South Korean men. Kim explains how a chance encounter with longtime collaborator Morten Traavik in North Korea eventually led to the project, why Yoojin agreed to participate when other matchmakers declined and how the COVID-19 pandemic forced the filmmakers to rethink the documentary's original focus on couples meeting and falling in love. The conversation explores how years of filming changed Kim's relationships with Yoojin and the other women, the challenges of documenting marriage and intimacy and what Yoojin's own relationship revealed about cultural differences, personal compatibility and the difficulties North Korean defectors can face while building new lives in South Korea. Kim also reflects on stereotypes surrounding North Korean women, the pressure some defectors feel to hide their accents and why the filmmakers sought to keep politics in the background — even as inter-Korean relations deteriorated and Pyongyang abandoned reunification as a national goal. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Lisdoonvarna's famous Matchmaking Festival returns for September, with live music, dancing, speed dating and, of course, the chance to find love. This year also sees the reopening of the historic Hydro Hotel for the first time since 2019. One person who knows all about the festival's matchmaking magic is Mary Timby from Colorado, who travelled to Lisdoonvarna after seeing it featured on Schitt's Creek — and ended up finding love with Clare man Jay Mangan. She's now helping promote this year's festival and joins us alongside Ireland's traditional matchmaker, Willie Daly. Image (c) Clare FM

Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW podcast, Booming. Seattle is becoming a city of singles. And that’s turned one of the world’s oldest businesses into one of the hottest new ones. App fatigue is causing more and more singles to break up with online dating. Instead of swiping, more and more people are turning to matchmakers and other ways to find love IRL. Often spending thousands of dollars in the process. Matchmaking is having a moment. Could it solve what some are calling the 'relationship recession' and help the economy as well?

Most people go into a relationship hoping chemistry is enough — Dr. Kristine Anthis has sat with enough couples in deep pain to know it isn't. In this conversation with Rick Kahler, the IFS-trained psychologist and certified matchmaker reveals what traditional matchmaking almost never touches: the internal parts that choose our partners for us, and the money scripts quietly running the relationship before the first date ends. She describes a woman who keeps almost signing up, always one career milestone away from being ready for love, and you can feel the protector in the room. Rick and Kristine are building something the field has never seen: an emotional and financial compatibility framework designed to prevent the rupture that couples therapy has to repair years too late. What if the person you chose wasn't really chosen by you?  #DrKristineAnthis, #KristineAnthis, #RickKahler, #FinancialTherapy, #InternalFamilySystems, #IFS, #MoneyScripts, #RelationshipPsychology, #CouplesTherapy, #RelationshipCompatibility, #EmotionalCompatibility, #FinancialCompatibility, #Matchmaking, #DatingAdvice, #HealthyRelationships, #MoneyMindset, #FinancialPsychology, #PsychologyOfMoney, #LoveAndMoney, #RelationshipGoals A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

Kate Adie introduces stories on the hidden networks providing vital lifelines to women and girls in Afghanistan, Gaza's tech entrepreneurs rebooting the digital economy, China's bogus dating agencies, and the hunt for a hard-to-find critter in the Australian bush. It's been five years since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan. Lyse Doucet and Mahjooba Nowrouzi report on the severe restrictions placed on the freedoms and ambitions of women and girls, and the subsequent emergence of underground networks which are provide vital support - from education to legal advice for women seeking divorce. Since the ceasefire was announced last year, little progress has been made in Gaza in terms of reconstruction. But young tech-entrepreneurs are taking matters into their own hands, rebooting Gaza's fledgling digital economy and providing a much-needed source of income. Yolande Knell has been speaking to tech-savvy Palestinians. Matchmaking websites that help people find a soulmate can earn huge sums of money. Unfortunately it's an industry where fraudsters exploit lonely hearts looking for love. As Laura Bicker reports it is a serious problem in China, where some men have been cheated out of their life savings by bogus matchmakers. Australia is a country full of animals found nowhere else in the world, but many are under serious threat of extinction, with around four species disappearing every decade. But as Tiffanie Turnbull discovered, there is hope with some species bucking the trend - including the rare Australian marsupial, the numbat.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you spend nearly $200 on a first date, only to hear, “I don't see a romantic connection”?On this episode of Playing 4 Keeps, DJ sits down with Sean Garvey for a conversation about dating expectations, rejection, money, accountability, and what men and women really owe each other after a date.Sean shares the story of taking a woman out, covering the entire bill, and later jokingly asking for his money back after she told him she wasn't interested. He also opens up about how his perspective has changed since then, why he now believes some dating lessons simply come with a cost, and how getting to know someone before rushing into a date can save time, money, and disappointment. But the conversation does not stop there. Sean gets personal about a past relationship that pushed him outside of his comfort zone, challenged how he saw himself, and led to unexpected experiences around intimacy, identity, and personal growth. He and DJ also unpack the difference between being challenged in a relationship and losing yourself trying to become what someone else wants.  And when it comes to what Sean wants now, he makes one thing clear: he is not interested in dating just for the experience anymore. He is looking to build with someone who is healed, intentional, open-minded, and ready for something real. Follow Sean on Instagram: @seangarveyatlSupport the showProduced by Organized MovementsRecorded at PriviCast StudioVisit our Website playing4keepsdating.com

The conversation begins with the hosts setting up for the podcast and discussing the technical aspects of their live stream. They then move on to discuss the gaming podcast episode 120 and share their thoughts on single-player games, particularly the experience of playing through a single-player game at launch. This leads to a discussion on campaigns in first-person shooter games and the disappointment with recent campaigns in popular game titles. Finally, they delve into the multiplayer gaming experience and the challenges faced with audio and gameplay in big map style games. The conversation delves into the impact of audio hardware on gaming, the evolution of gaming audio, the importance of in-game audio, the quality of gaming headsets, the role of audio in competitive gaming, and the experience of old vs. new games. The conversation covers topics related to gaming platform disparities, limitations on champion quest, account suspensions for violations, nuke lobbies and team play, camo grinding and the debate between skill vs. time, and the impact of matchmaking and SBMM on gaming experiences.

Would you hand over your dating life to artificial intelligence? Better question... would you trust Rafe Williams with your dating profile? That's the completely reasonable debate the gang accidentally has on today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, where one ridiculous idea somehow spirals into an entire discussion about modern dating, catfishing, AI matchmaking, relationship green flags, restaurant red flags, and why everyone's emotional baggage apparently comes with free shipping.It all starts with Rafe pitching what may be the worst—or greatest—experiment in show history: creating dating app profiles using Rizzuto's photos just to see what kind of chaos happens. Naturally, the room immediately realizes this could destroy friendships, marriages, reputations, and probably a few Terms of Service agreements. The conversation somehow gets even weirder when everyone starts debating whether younger versions of themselves would outperform their current selves on dating apps, complete with AI-generated aging photos and nostalgic stories from the early internet.Then things take a futuristic turn as the crew dives into a new AI-powered matchmaking service that's arranging dates for college students. Instead of endless swiping, artificial intelligence chooses your match, schedules your date, and may eventually give you conversation topics before you even meet. Convenient? Creepy? A little of both? The gang debates whether we're heading toward a future where AI agents date each other before humans ever have to.Of course, it wouldn't be The Rizzuto Show without immediately asking ChatGPT to describe everyone's ideal romantic partner. The results are surprisingly deep, unexpectedly hilarious, and occasionally a little too accurate for comfort. Nothing says "healthy discussion" like being emotionally profiled by a chatbot.Later, the conversation shifts into relationship green flags as the crew breaks down the little traits that instantly make someone more attractive—from confidence and curiosity to financial responsibility, power tools, good posture, and apparently picking things up with your toes.Finally, they tackle one of the biggest personality tests there is: going out to eat together. How someone treats restaurant staff, orders their meal, handles mistakes, tips, uses their phone, or reacts to cold mashed potatoes might reveal everything you need to know before committing to a second date.It's relationship advice... if your therapists were sarcastic morning radio hosts.Whether you're happily married, endlessly swiping, or just here for the laughs, today's comedy podcast delivers plenty of ridiculous debates, relatable stories, and classic Rizz Show chaos.If you're looking for a comedy podcast that somehow turns dating apps, AI, and restaurant etiquette into nonstop entertainment, you've found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

https://linktr.ee/csjosephWhat's up, you hackers? In this 16:43 episode of the CS Joseph Podcast, I expose the massive problems with Imploder-Imploder relationships in the "safe zones" of modern dating and marriage.These "safe" pairings lead to zero communication, covert abuse, unfulfilling sex, neglected children, and a massive emotional/financial drain on extended family. I explain exactly how they form (church, matchmaking, referrals), why they're so destructive compared to Exploder relationships, and the real solution involving Octagram awareness and crush development.If you're done with dysfunctional relationships and want true compatibility, this episode delivers.

The system that decides whether you have a good night in multiplayer almostnever gets explained by the people who actually build it. Today it does.Call of Duty just walked back the biggest matchmaking change in its history.Activision recently published internal white papers explaining parts of howtheir system actually works, which is rare for an industry that usually treatsthis stuff as proprietary. Lewis Ward and Greg Posner sit down with CharlieOlson, the engineer who helped architect Call of Duty's matchmaking ratingsystem back in 2015, to walk through what the white papers actually said,what they left out, and what's broken about how the industry thinks aboutmultiplayer matchmaking."Matchmaking is part of the UX. It's not a technical problem. This is adesign problem." — Charlie Olson
