Are you burned out on dating apps? Or not even interested in swiping left and right on a bunch of strangers in the first place? The founders of the new Cerca dating app have been there, and this week Ali is taking you behind the scenes of building their app. Three members of the Cerca team - Myles Slayton, Carter Munk, and Campbell Arnone - sit down in Ali’s living room to talk about why Gen Z is shunning the apps, how apps can evolve to meet them where they’re at, and how they’re positioning Cerca to address all of this.
In Updates, it’s move-in week!!! Ali prepares for the big move and is feeling like everyone is talking about the topic. Including this week’s Media Mention from The Gottman Institute, titled “20 Essential Questions to Ask Before Moving In Together.”
Download Cerca in the Apple app store and check them out on IG @cercadating and on TikTok @cercaofficial.
Timestamps: The Cerca team joins Ali at around minute 25.

0:00.0 | The it was someone texting me on campus because I was at. Hide the podcast. I am your host, |
0:30.6 | Allie Jackson, and I am bringing you my positive and practical dating and a relationship |
0:34.1 | advice and advice about other stuff as well based on my lived experience. |
0:38.4 | I am so grateful that you're here. Thank you especially to everyone who has given me feedback |
0:43.4 | in the podcast survey. It's been so interesting to dig through it and see what y'all are thinking, |
0:49.6 | where y'all are at. And if you reached out to be a part of a focus group, thank you for that as well. |
0:56.1 | I'm going to be reaching out along with the moderator that I'm working with to everyone who |
1:01.4 | applied, let you know whether you're going to be in one of the focus groups or not. I got so |
1:06.6 | much interest way more than I can include in those, but I will keep you in mind for the future |
1:11.1 | for sure. But you'll get an email either way. I will not go to you. So thank you. Thank you so much. |
1:16.6 | I'm going to be doing a combo platter of me and the moderator. Most people actually, when they responded |
1:22.0 | to the focus group said that they wanted me to do it, which I love. I want to talk to you all. |
1:28.5 | And I think it would be helpful to have a professional there too because they're just good at this and that do this for a living. |
1:34.4 | So I'm going to do a little bit of a combo both and get those going for the month of September. |
1:48.1 | One thing that is always making me more late is trying to figure out what I'm going to wear. |
1:52.6 | That's why I've been loving Armour. It makes getting dressed so easy. With the clothing rental membership from Armour, you can build the perfect wardrobe with brands that are high quality, |
1:56.4 | unique, and recommend just for you. All you have to do is take a five-minute style quiz, |
2:00.6 | and then you select items from your dynamic personalized closet. The styles show up to your door in as little as two days. And when you're ready for new clothes, you just swap them out for more new-to-you styles. The item I'm loving the most right now, well, technically it's two items. It's this French connection set. It's gingham. It's like a crop top and then a fuller skirt. I had it in my |
2:18.2 | case last month and I actually kept it in this month's case for the girl strip I'm going on because |
2:22.2 | it was so cute. And I love that I can keep stuff I like and swap out the rest month over month. |
2:27.1 | Let's be honest, investing in high quality pieces adds up fast. But with armor, I get access to designer |
2:31.8 | clothing for a fraction of the cost. So instead of spending like 300 bucks on a dress, I'll wear once, I rent it and a few other things for a fraction of that. It's like having a rotating closet of luxe pieces without the guilt of overspending. The fashion math is finally in my favor. Right now, my listeners can give Armour a try and get up to 50% off their first month. That's up to $125 off. Just visit armoir. |
