And I'm not saying that you should, you know, just like post, you know, a picture of yourself waking up first thing in the morning.

I like, you know, everyone wants to put their best foot forward and I'm certainly not against that.

But I do think that there's an element of showing the cracks in your personality so that you feel more human and you actually have an end with someone.

You actually have something to comment on because like just posting six beautiful selfies is just like not helping you.

Hey everyone, welcome back to on purpose. And I'm on health podcast in the world. Thanks to each and every single one of you.

Thank you for taking out time to listen, learn and grow every single week.

And I deeply appreciate the amount of incredible feedback we've been getting during this time because you know that I've been trying to interview guests and give you insights that are supporting you through this tough time.

Whatever challenges you're going through and I really appreciate you leaving the reviews and letting me know which episodes are serving you best and helping you the most.

Now today's episode is really interesting because we've talked about the medical background of COVID-19 and the changes we can make in our life there.

We've talked a lot about working from home and becoming more productive from our home work offices or whatever setup that you've created.

And we've talked about when we've talked with a therapist about our mental and emotional challenges right now.

And today I'm fascinated to actually bring in a new element that we haven't discussed in relation to COVID-19.

And that's really understanding relationships, understanding dating and understanding the space that we all need in our lives which is the space of love.

Now today's guest knows a lot about that. His name is Justin McLeod. He's the founder and CEO at Hinge, the dating app designed to be deleted.

He grew up in Lewisville, KY and studied at Colgate University. After a few years in management consulting, he attended Harvard Business School and decided to follow his passion for connecting people.

Justin founded Hinge in February 2011 with a mission to create real-life connections. As a romantic and the protagonist of a real-life love story, he was upset by the negative hookup culture dating apps that created.

So in October 2016, he relaunched Hinge to create a culture of thoughtful dating.

Justin's vision for a more thoughtful experience resonated with millennials and led to the company's user base growing 400% in the last year.

Welcome to the episode Justin. Justin, thanks for doing this. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, it's great to have you here. And I was just showing with you before we started the podcast that I obviously never got to use online dating ever.

The closest I got to was an app called a high five, which was pre-face work. But a lot of my friends use Hinge.

I've helped many friends build Hinge profiles and I've heard several good reviews about the apps.
