Welcome to We Can Do Hard Things. Today is going to be super exciting because we are talking

about dating. I know. I know. The whole world of dating there are so many pods, quite

those who are in the dating world and have felt a little left out from all of our domestic

lesbian conversations. So we are going to wrap them all in today. And thank God we have

somebody who knows something about dating because none of us do. But also I feel like

it's important to say that this, all of the expertise and research and stories we're

going to talk about today aren't just only about dating. It's about how you can bring

into your life significant others, whether those people are romantic partners or friends.

It's about getting yourself out there to find the people that will bring good things to

your life. That's why I loved this particular person because I feel like all of her work

it was helpful for me in terms of dating friends. Finding new people and bringing them

into our lives, getting to know anybody better. Her name is Logan Yuri and she is a behavioral

scientist turned dating coach and the author of the best-selling dating book How to Not Die

Alone, the surprising science that will help you find love. She works as Hinge's director

of relationship science. Okay, so Hinge is one of these new fancy dating apps. We called

them bars in my day. Conducting research on modern dating. She rents an online community

through her weekly newsletter Logan's Love Letter. She studied psychology at Harvard

and ran Google's behavioral science team, the irrational lab. She lives in the Bay area

with her husband, Scott. Welcome Logan. Yay! Thanks for having me here. It's surreal to

hear your voices directed at me. Usually it's just like me and my car or me doing the

dishes. So this is such a great experience. Thanks for listening. I didn't know that you

were a regular listener of the pod. That's awesome. Absolutely. Pod Squad. Oh, I love it.
