A highly illuminating conversation with author Jon Birger on the world of dating as we dive into his brilliant new book, Make Your Move. I learned a ton here as Jon busts through some old myths to discover what works and what does not. Plus we had so much fun. His book is especially helpful and empowering for women as he continues to shine the light on this important topic.

Jon Birger is an award-winning magazine writer, a contributor to Fortune, dating expert, and the author of Date-onomics: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game. Named to AlwaysOn Network’s list of “Power Players in Technology Business Media,” Jon is a former senior writer at both Fortune and Money. His work has also appeared in Barron’s, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, New York Magazine, The New York Post, Time, and The Washington Post.

He’s a familiar face and voice on television, radio and the lecture circuit too, having been a guest on ABC’s Good Morning America, BBC World Service, CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, National Public Radio, and Fox News—and a featured speaker at The Cato Institute, University of Kansas, MarketWaves, and South By Southwest.
