My guest today is Christian Rudder who is the first of hopefully many guests who are not

investors per se.

Christian's career arc seems too interesting to be true.

He's best known as a founder and CEO of OkCupid, the popular dating site, but I'll let him

walk you through the rest.

He's a data and math junkie, a musician, and a very interesting thinker and business person.

We discuss among other things, interesting trends in OkCupid's data, artificial intelligence,

the NSA, and great books on the Civil War.

please enjoy my conversation with Christian Rudder.

Good morning, Christian.
