In this episode, I’m joined by Danny Goldstein, founder of the Austin-based matchmaking company Crux Compatible, to talk all things compatibility, chemistry, and intentional dating. Danny has a fascinating journey, from practicing law to running a matchmaking business rooted in a deep understanding of what actually makes two people a good fit. We dive into his unique process, including the extensive questionnaire he uses with clients, and break down the qualities that truly matter in early dating versus the ones we tend to over-prioritize. Danny shares how to plan dates that reveal real compatibility, what he sees daters get wrong most often, and his personal playbook for making early connections feel both fun and meaningful. If you’ve ever felt unsure how to spot real compatibility, this episode is for you!
