In this episode, our hosts Ashley Torres, and Ciana White speak with TikTok creator Matthew Wurnig, who went viral after creating 50 Dates 50 States. When the first COVID-19 lockdown began in March 2020, most people learned how to bake banana bread. Matt, on the other hand, got the idea to go on a virtual date with a girl from every state. Along the way, he documented his journey on TikTok, where he’s developed his following to over 100,000 followers and amassed millions of views and likes. He talks to our hosts about his transition, personal branding, obtaining sponsorships, the TikTok algorithm, and where he plans on taking 50 Dates and 50 States.
