  • (143) Tim Haft: Engaging An Aging Population

    Tim thinks we should do a better job helping seniors better participate in society. But what's the best way to reach this still growing population? And more importantly, is that cool?

  • (142) Hannah VanderPoel: The Storeys

  • (140) Leslie Chen: Teassert

    Leslie is a high-performance weight loss coach who helps high-achieving women all over the world get a head-turning body while ending food obsession and negativities. She suggests sipping tea between bites of sweets can reduce sugar cravings. Does that really work? And more importantly, is that cool? 

    "It works extremely well in helping you stop sugar cravings on site. It's because the bitter taste in tea is scientifically proven to rewire your brain's response towards the sugar."

  • (139) Taly Matiteyahu: Blink Date

    Taly created a new dating app that doesn’t require the perfect profile to find a match. Is having a conversation without seeing someone the best way to find a match? And more importantly, is that cool?

    “One of the ways that we're different from other apps is that we don't show profiles or photos before people talk to one another. I know that sounds really crazy, but psychology actually shows that as we get to know each other, we become more or less attracted to people.”

    Download Blink Date on any app store and learn more about finding your match at theblinkdate.com.
