What's going on everybody?

I'm your host, Max Lugavir, and welcome back to The Genius Life.

Today we're talking about modern dating and why so many people feel stuck in it.

According to today's guest, we are in the middle of a relationship recession, fewer people

dating, more loneliness, and a lot of confusion about what actually makes a

relationship work. So what's really going wrong? And how do you fix it? Well, joining me is returning

guest to Amy Chan. She's wonderful. She's a dating coach and she's a relationship expert. And she's

got a new book out called Unsingle, which I'm a huge fan of. In this episode, we break down the

biggest mistakes that people make in dating, why instant chemistry can actually be a red flag and the one trait that best predicts long-term relationship success. You're not going to want to miss that one. We also get into her concept of the shit bucket and why every relationship has one. If you've ever felt like dating isn't working the way it should, well, this episode will give you a clearer framework for what actually matters. Listen all the way through to the end. You're not going to want to miss a beat. And as always, don't forget to share this episode with someone who might benefit from it. And before we get into it, I just want to read a quick review that meant a lot to me from Apple podcast app user Kaya Catherine, who gave us five stars and wrote, every time I listen to this podcast, I'm happily surprised that Max has so much variability within this genre, food science, brain science, active lifestyle, pop culture interviews, books, movies, poetry, coffee, protein, cats, family keeps me interested and coming back again and again. Well, first off, thank you so much, Catherine. I really appreciate that. I put a lot of thought into keeping this show wide-ranging, but still grounded, of course,

in the things that actually matter for your health and for your life. So thank you for picking up what we're putting down here. And to all y'all, if you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a quick rating and review on your app of choice. It genuinely helps more people discover it. And I read them all. Now with all that out of the way, thanks for being here.

You guys. Love you all. And here's episode 568. Let's rock. Amy Chan, what's going on?

Welcome back. Hey, what's up? At long last. How you doing? I'm great.

Congrats on the new book on single. Very excited for this. Thank you. I know you've worked very hard

conversations that we've had on the show are among my favorites. So, yeah. Thanks for coming
