Blink Date

In this interview, Gregg speaks with Taly, the founder of a dating app called "Blink." Taly shares her background as a lawyer and discusses her journey of transitioning to different careers. She introduces her dating app, "Blink," which offers a unique approach to dating by focusing on compatibility and communication rather than making judgments based on superficial appearances.

Throughout the interview, Taly shares her perspective on overcoming self-doubt and the challenges of being a solo entrepreneur. She emphasizes the importance of taking small steps, breaking down tasks, and seeking help from others. Taly reflects on the impact of her immigrant background, which instilled in her a strong work ethic and determination, while also acknowledging the need to unlearn the mindset of trying to do everything alone.

The conversation also touches on the philosophy of failure, with Taly viewing it as a learning experience rather than a negative outcome. She draws inspiration from the Israeli approach to failure, where it is seen as an experiment and an opportunity to iterate and try again.
