En este episodio hablamos con Emilio Antún sobre la nueva película de Seline Song —directora de Past Lives—, que regresa con una historia protagonizada porDakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal y Chris Evans. Una cinta que se aleja de la típica comedia romántica para hacernos cuestionar:- Si no se lo que valgo ¿cómo puedo saber lo que busco?- ¿Somos más atractivos cuando nos sentimos seguros?- “Amar es fácil, hacer que el amor funcione, es difícil”. Exploramos cómo la directora usa el lenguaje del romance para hablar de la soledad, la superficialidad y la presión por encajar, todo con una mirada brutalmente honesta. Y sí, Dakota lo resume perfecto: trabajar como casamentera es como estar en una morgue o una aseguradora. Porque hoy, más que nunca, amar puede parecer una transacción.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman joins Simon Buckingham and Brendan Kelly of Results Mentoring to unpack their new AI investor “dating app” and bold strategies for the 2026 market shake-up. Celebrating 20 years of guiding investors, Simon and Brendan share insights on their new Real Estate Success Community app, a free platform designed to connect and support property investors nationwide.  The innovative app utilises AI to match users with like-minded investors, fostering networking and knowledge sharing in what Simon describes as a “dating app for property investors”. The discussion then highlights upcoming market shifts driven by falling interest rates and the universal first home buyer 5 per cent deposit guarantee scheme launching in 2026, which will lower barriers for buyers and boost demand.  For investors accumulating assets, the advice is to act swiftly before competition intensifies, while those consolidating should consider timing sales to align with market peaks in 2026.  Emphasising the importance of localised market knowledge, Simon and Brendan offer a free report highlighting Australia's next booming suburbs to help investors make informed choices.

Matchmaking for Psychopaths by Tasha Coryell https://www.amazon.com/Matchmaking-Psychopaths-Tasha-Coryell/dp/0593640306 Love is a dangerous game when your clients are killers…from the bestselling author behind Love Letters to a Serial Killer. When Lexie's fiancé runs off with her so-called best friend on her birthday, her carefully crafted fairy-tale life shatters. Having survived horrors in her past, she was determined to finally get her happily-ever-after—and she's not giving up yet. To distract herself, Lexie throws herself into her unusual job: matchmaking psychopaths (a specialty her clients are blissfully unaware of). But the loneliness is crushing. So when a gorgeous, overprotective new client named Aidan insists they're soulmates, and another intriguing client, Rebecca, seems perfect to fill the best-friend-shaped hole in her life, Lexie can't help but find the attention comforting—despite her own professional boundaries. Then a human heart appears on Lexie's doorstep. As more threatening packages arrive and her fiancé mysteriously disappears, she must confront a terrifying question: did she inadvertently match herself with a killer? Between Aidan's claims that her fiancé will never return, Rebecca's growing presence in her life, and her own dark past resurfacing, Lexie's matchmaker instincts are being tested like never before. Because someone is determined to ensure her story ends with a funeral.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview serial entrepreneur Eric McHugh once again!Eric dives into his latest venture, dataing.io, an AI-powered matchmaking app built to challenge the typical swipe-based dating model. He shares how the Web3 space supports his builder mindset and leads to the creation of Hold On Labs, a platform that launches products focused on meaningful connection. With dating.io, the goal is to create intentional, high-quality matches using AI-generated personality tags based on users' social media and digital activity. Unlike Tinder or Hinge, which aim to keep users engaged and swiping, dating.io focuses on helping people find lasting matches and offers a “relationship butler” that helps couples with date planning, gift ideas, and relationship support.Eric also shares their go-to-market strategy, which focuses on building local communities by starting with Southern California colleges through campus events, partnerships, and free photography incentives. The team is currently focused on gaining users, with a goal of reaching 10,000 in Los Angeles before expanding further. Monetization is not the immediate priority, but future plans include earning a share from date bookings and offering targeted brand placements. Eric points out that AI is not just a trendy term for them; it powers the platform's ability to understand behavior and preferences, leading to smarter and more accurate matches.Be intrigued by Eric McHugh's pursuit of meaningful tech, smarter matchmaking, and the vibes behind dating.io in this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:dataing.iohttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/dataing/id6478563884Eric McHugh's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ericdouglasmchugh/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

Redefining Connection: The Power of Professional Matchmaking in a Modern World In this insightful episode, I sit down with Maria and Ann, the dynamic duo behind a leading professional dating service AfterHello.com, to unpack the strategy and psychology behind intentional matchmaking. They walk us through their thoughtful, human-first process—starting with in-depth client interviews, leveraging an extensive and curated database, and culminating in collaborative team sessions designed to make meaningful matches. Ann also shares how they coach clients on optimizing dating app profiles—a service that helps individuals avoid common digital pitfalls and approach dating with clarity and intention. Dating in a Post-Pandemic World: Trends and Realignment We explored how the dating landscape has evolved since the pandemic. Ann pointed to a noticeable decline in dating app engagement and a renewed desire for authentic, in-person connections. Maria reinforced that while dating apps aren't going anywhere, success hinges on using them strategically. I echoed the concern that many individuals jump into dating with little self-awareness or alignment with their core values—often leading to mismatched or short-lived connections. As we discussed, there's a strong connection between personal relationships and professional achievement, and the data backs that up. The Inner Work of Lasting Love Maria, Ann, and I dove deep into the role of self-reflection in the dating journey. We agreed: personal growth is non-negotiable when it comes to building a healthy, lasting relationship. Their matchmaking philosophy centers on clients who are open to change, understand their core values, and are looking for long-term, monogamous connections. We also explored the idea of finding a partner whose imperfections complement—rather than clash with—your own. Growth, adaptability, and emotional intelligence are just as important as attraction when it comes to sustainable love. What's Next for Matchmaking Services? Looking ahead, we discussed the rising demand for professional matchmaking as loneliness reaches epidemic levels and people seek more intentional connections. Maria and Ann noted that their industry is growing coast-to-coast and internationally, with expected growth of 10% by 2028. I added that while population growth is slowing—which may impact how and when people form families—there's never been a more important time to build strong, compatible relationships that support lifelong development. Coaching Meets Connection To wrap up, Maria and Ann spoke about their work in both matchmaking and relationship coaching—helping individuals not only find the right partner but become the right partner. If you're curious about working with experts who combine data, intuition, and a passion for human connection, I encourage you to visit their website and join their growing community.   What happens when a seasoned matchmaker with a legal background teams up with an operations and wellness expert? You get After Hello. Join co-founders Ann Parnes and Maria Murray as they reveal how their national firm is bringing intention and authenticity back to the dating world.   Ann's journey in matchmaking began in 2017, building a successful boutique firm and leveraging her 14 years in the legal field, including seven as an Assistant District Attorney. This experience honed her sharp intuition and deep understanding of human connection. Maria, with nearly two decades of expertise in operations, recruiting, and business growth, combines her sharp business acumen with a passion for holistic well-being. Her background in cultivating wellness and streamlining systems is pivotal to After Hello's distinctive approach.   Together, they've built After Hello to defy the notion that seeking expert guidance in dating is outdated. They champion a refined approach, proving that investing in matchmaking is a smart choice for those who value their time, discretion, and meaningful results. After Hello blends the science of compatibility with a tailored approach, ensuring curated introductions are just the beginning of authentic love stories.

What do inheritance clauses, anxious-avoidant pairings, love languages, and luxury first dates have in common? They're all part of the intricate (and occasionally outrageous) world of high-net-worth matchmaking, where high standards (and even higher net worths) collide with the very real emotional complexities of modern love.

New romantic comedy "Materialists" dives into the world of high-end dating in Manhattan, where luxury, status and desire blur the lines of love. Dakota Johnson stars as a professional matchmaker, caught between Pedro Pascal's millionaire dreamboat and Chris Evans as her idealistic ex. Oscar-nominated director Celine Song describes the film as a "Victorian romance for 2025", showing how dating today can feel like a game of social value and transactions. Eve Jackson meets Celine in Paris – and hits the streets – to ask: is love still about connection, or has it become a carefully calculated deal?

In this episode, Norwegian artist and director Morten Traavik and cultural mediator Sun Kim discuss their new documentary “North South Man Woman.” The film explores the emotional complexities of North Korean defectors trying to build lives — and relationships — in South Korea, with a special focus on matchmaking between DPRK women and ROK men. Traavik and Kim reflect on the documentary's five-year production process, the personal journeys of their protagonists and how issues of cultural identity, trauma, gender roles and social integration shape life after defection. They also unpack how the film balances moments of lightness and pain, and how storytelling can illuminate the human costs of geopolitical division. Norwegian artist and director Morten Traavik has undertaken several provocative and boundary-pushing art and film projects involving North Korea. His work often explores themes of cultural exchange, propaganda and the role of art in politically charged environments. He previously appeared on epsiode 103 of the podcast.  His collaborator Sun Kim is a Korean American and Belgian producer and cultural mediator for a number of Morten's exchanges with North Korean authorities for over a decade.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.comSince the launch of ‘We're Not Kidding', Mehdi has sat down with some of the most multi-talented multi-hyphenates working in entertainment and media. But few wear as many caps as this week's guest co-host, Yasmin Elhady — a Libyan-Egyptian-American standup comedian, lawyer, and co-host of the popular Hulu TV series ‘Muslim Matchmaker'. But before she was a famous TV host, Yasmin tells Mehdi about her experience as a Muslim immigrant growing up in Alabama and the bullying she encountered.Mehdi and Yasmin also discuss the ways in which Muslim representation in American culture has gotten better over the last several decades, but how there's still room for improvement. As the co-host of the TV series ‘Muslim Matchmaker', Yasmin tells Mehdi how important getting the opportunity to show a different side of Muslim life meant to her. Yasmin also explains to Mehdi why she chose the dual path of lawyer and comedian, how her matchmaking career began with finding a wife for her brother, why she thinks Colonel Gaddafi was the “gayest dictator who's not gay” and whether Mehdi bears a resemblance to the 1980s-era McDonald's mascot, The Hamburglar. SUBSCRIBE TO ZETEO TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENT AND UNFILTERED JOURNALISM: https://zeteo.com/subscribeWATCH, LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE TO ‘WE'RE NOT KIDDING' ON SUBSTACK: https://zeteo.com/s/were-not-kidding-with-mehdi-and-friendsFIND ZETEO:Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_newsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonewsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonewsFIND MEHDI:Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasanTwitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasanTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasanFIND YASMIN:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yasminelhahahady/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yasmin_elhadyCREDITS:Hosted by: Mehdi HasanGuest Host: Yasmin ElhadyExecutive Producer: Kiran AlviSenior Producer and Editor: Frank CappelloMusic: Andy ClausenDesign: Alicia TatoneMix Engineer: Valentino RiveraTitle Animation: Ehsaan Mesghali

Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Building a Fundraising Board Fundraising isn't about money; it's about PEOPLE. And some of your most powerful people? Your board. In this episode, we dive into the challenges small nonprofits face when trying to activate their boards around fundraising. From fear of asking to a total misunderstanding of what fundraising even is, we're breaking down the myths, sharing real-world tactics, and giving you the mindset shifts that actually work. 

Co-Host Zach Schleien (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/spark) My returning guest Zach Schleien has founded dating companies and now serves as the General Manager of Matchmaking for Spark Networks. Over the course of his career, he's learned a thing or two about what attracts men and women to each other. So what are the mindsets, trigger and attitudes that make attraction happen at the primal, psychological level? Well, obviously physical attraction matters (hence Zach's commitment to video dating), but how that works differs between men and women. It has been said that none of us should expect to 'punch above our weight' in the looks department, but we see exceptions around us all the time. What is that attributable to? Is it true that if a guy has a great job or lots of money it'll cover over 'a multitude of sins' in the looks department? What do women find attractive that's in relatively short supply among men here in the post-modern era? Was David DeAngelo right when he famously said, 'attraction is not a choice'? What is the general rule that governs what the media tells us is 'attractive'? What happens to our sense of attraction as we cross cultures and travel to different countries? Are all pretty women attractive? What about women who know they're beautiful, and seem to think they can get by on their looks alone? How do dating apps mess up our entire mindset about attraction? And on that note, are we really attracted to women we think we're attracted to, or are our minds playing tricks on us (again)? And if we really don't have our type figured out yet, what's the disarmingly obvious solution to solving the puzzle?
