Hinge has boldly positioned itself as a different kind of dating app, which replaces engagement metrics and retainment stats for real connection and authenticity. They don’t want you to use the app more — they want you to never have to use it again. We dig into Hinge’s unique algorithm, which intentionally sidesteps the soul-destroying cycle of speed-swiping and ghosting. Justin reveals how Hinge has evolved from a dating app to a modern love expert service, and why the business of love beats any other day job.   Connect with us on Insta:  Alli: @alliwebb Adrian: @adrian.k    Resources:  Instagram: @hinge    Raising the Bar with Alli and Adrian is a production of Crate Media

39. Curating a Dating App That’s Meant to Be Deleted with Justin McLeod

The stuff you wished entrepreneurs really talked about. Drybar founder Alli Webb joins forces with her executive coach (and boyfriend) Adrian Koehler to pull back the curtain on the entrepreneurial life—the good, the bad, and the messy. Together, they tackle the conversations people in leadership rarely have in public, interviewing other entrepreneurs and founders along the way to find out what it takes to overcome the obstacles that make most people quit. This is a study on perseverance. So, whether you're just starting out or weighed down by the stress of success, tune in. You might not be as alone as you think.
