Kat Medina shares her thoughts on once upon a time.

Episode 707: Once Upon A Time by Kat Medina on Marriage Goals & How To Find A Gratefulness Practice

As a child, Kat Medina wanted to be MacGyver when she grew up. Now, as the founder and Creative Director of a Silicon Valley startup, she's become a well-traveled bookworm who finds creative solutions to entrepreneurial challenges with the resourcefulness of a figurative shoelace, paperclip, and bubblegum. Her forthcoming book, The Joys of Jet Lag, explores the most valuable lessons she's learned during the process and shares the keys to creating a life of adventure through an openhearted approach to living. These insights, when embodied and applied, have the potential to transform the ordinary to the extraordinary and craft unbridled joy and fulfillment, no matter where you are.

Evan Marc Katz shares if marriage always has to be the end goal.

Episode 703: Does Marriage Always Have To Be The End Goal? by Evan Marc Katz on Long-Term Relationships & Finding the One

Dating coach Evan Marc Katz has been billed as a “personal trainer for smart, strong, successful women,” helping singles find love since 2003. Thousands of his clients have fallen in love, gotten married, started families, and found happiness, after only a few months of coaching.

It’s an unlikely career for a man--much less a man who was called a “serial dater” by CNN--yet that’s what makes Katz such a unique coach. By helping women understand men--what they think, how they act, and what they really want--he empowers them to make healthy, informed choices in love.
