Summary
I’m sharing one of my favorite podcast interviews I’ve experienced to date! Elevation Nation’s Sam Pantich and Parker Yablon invited me onto their show to discuss how I got to where I am today. We discuss my career path, including my struggle in the music industry post-college, my time at Hinge, and how I made the decision to go full time with Seeing Other People. I open up about the challenges I faced, my internal struggles, and what led me to start podcasting and opening up about mid dating life. We discuss the power of vulnerability, dating app tips, and more.

| 0:22.7 | to Miami to one of my best friend's bachelor's at parties. Jesse, who was my old roommate for |

| 1:23.5 | about my job is actually going on other people's podcasts and being interviewed and sharing my |
