Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Primal Blueprint Podcast.

Today I have Zach Schline.

He's the co-founder, CEO of the Video Speed Dating app, Filter Off.

Yes, we're going to be talking about the day because part of PaleoPrimal Living is community and tribe,

and he has set up a paleo keto special event for speed dating online. And so I think this is really exciting,

and I wanted to share that. I think we all kind of want to date and be with like-minded individuals,

and this is one way to sort of just eliminate an entire category or include one.

So filter off has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, BBC, and hit number one on product hunt.

Previously, Zach ran and sold the dating blog TopRomp, which covered dating hacks and apps for the modern dater.

He is a TEDx speaker and his passions lying technology health and creating

authentic connections. When Zach is not working, he loves to travel, eat keto and workout. Welcome

to the show, Zach. Yeah, thanks so much for having me out. So this is really, first of all,

like, how did you, I mean, that's cool, trying to connect people, doing more unique

stuff with dating apps. How did this come to be and when? Yeah, sure. So I've always been

fascinated with dating apps. I think the idea of leveraging technology to facilitate romantic

connections, it's always been really, like, fascinating for me.

And however, when I was using dating apps, I quickly realized how inefficient they are.

And oftentimes, you end up meeting them in person and either A, maybe they don't look like their photos or B, you just don't have any chemistry. And about five years ago, I started asking my dates beforehand to be open to

video chatting before meeting up in person. And I realized just how much better that was. It really

just gave me an idea whether we vibe. And yeah, so then I went out to create my own app that was video first.
