He's also owned one of the most successful studios in the country for over 38 years. Jeff is my mentor and the reason I had my online dating breakthrough. He's also given me some of the best advice in my life. In this episode, we discuss the ways relationships are just like running a business. There are many similarities, like the importance of your brand, your value, networking, connections, down to supply and demand. We also discuss unwritten rules, navigating the highs and lows, and why we should remain confident in our abilities. 

     Jeff Lubin began with humble beginnings in a small studio with a window and a neon sign to becoming the leading portrait photographer in the Washington, D.C. area for nearly four decades. Some of his clients include Lynda Carter, Cal Ripken, Robert & Sheila Johnson, and Larry King. In 2017, The Lubin Studio was commissioned to create seven paintings to adorn the United States Court of Appeals for The Armed Forces work, which will display throughout history. 
     
    Jeff's style has won him many national and state awards. He earned the coveted Master of Photography Degree from Professional Photographers of American in 1992, after only three years of competition. The following year, he received his Craftsman Degree. Jeff's work has been featured in several issues of Rangefinder Magazine and The Professional Photographer. He has also published over 100 articles in photography.

    How to be relentless in your pursuit to the top.
    How to stand out in a crowd and be memorable.
    Why if you be your true authentic self, you will be more likable and relatable.
    Often people don't give themselves a chance or realize what makes them different or special is the very thing that will make them stand out in business or on these dating apps. 
    Why true growth comes from the experiences you have and things not working out.
    Why having a never quit mentality is the reason behind an entrepreneur's success.
    Why limiting beliefs keep us stuck in our current situation, either staying in a job that makes you unhappy or in the area of our love lives. 
    You are what you think and how thoughts expand.
    If you can change your thinking you can change your reality.
    What you resist persists, and if you are doing the same patterns repeatedly and things are working, that is the definition of insanity.

  • The Love Experiment With Founder And CEO Of Once Dating App Clémentine LaLande

    Today's guest is Clémentine Lalande, and she's the founder and CEO of the dating app Once. Back in 2015, along with a friend, Clémentine created the "slow dating" app, which delivers one match a day to each user. The app is the leading dating App in Europe, which has over 10 million users. Once launched, a matching algorithm based on a user's "emotional profile" created by a team of psychologists and dating experts. Once's vision is to create a post-swipe world. Clémentine discusses how she's changing the online dating culture, why we should give The Love Experiment a shot, and why this quality-over-quantity approach is the solution to the oversaturated dating scene.

    Clémentine Lalande has this vision of a new way of dating firmly in her mind. Once leverages AI algorithms to provide just one match per day to each user. Each pair has 24 hours of each other's attention and can continue chatting if they "like" each other. And this method seems to be more than popular. In early 2021, the Dating Group acquired the company, overall valuing the company at 18 million.

    Clémentine has over a decade of experience in technology and business development. She's also founded the dating app Pickable, a feminist dating app, which reverses gender power imbalances by requiring only men to create a profile. A few months after its launch, it had two million users. Pickable was awarded by Apple then sold to Once, while she continues to serve as CEO while heading the united company.

    Kerry Brett and Clémentine Lalande cover a lot of ground and topics include:
    The recent launch of the Love Connection and why this is beneficial to daters. 
    The Love Connection is the first dating app algorithm created by an all-female team whose goal is to swap endless, image-centric swiping for meaningful connections by offering users just a single, carefully selected match each day. 
    The Love Experiment enlisted the help of French psychoanalyst Fabienne Kramer and British psychologist Dannielle Haig. Together, they created a set of 28 questions inspired by transactional analysis, analytical psychology, and behavioral analysis to identify a person's emotional profile.
    Clémentine plans to change the swiping culture, and she feels swiping on a variety of apps is like searching for a number in the phone book. That it simply makes singles unhappy.
    Once matches people based on personality. Once, is the only dating site that matches couples based on the Myers-Briggs personality test. 
    Clémentine shares advice for women around staying hopeful and optimistic  when dating online.
    Why you should be specific in your bio and be specific for what you're looking for.
    Remember to keep in mind the profile is not the person.
    Don't spend more than three days speaking with someone online. Cross that bridge from digital to real-life ASAP – the sooner you do this, the better off you'll be.

  • Let’s Rock, Let’s Roll And Let’s Go With Country Music Award-Nominated Keyboardist Jeff McMahon

    This week's guest is Jeff McMahon. He has the most incredible career in the music industry. He was the keyboardist and vocalist for Tim McGraw's band The Dancehall Doctors for 18 years. Jeff wasn't with Tim from the beginning but early enough before Indian Outlaw came out, so let's say once he hired Jeff, Tim's career took off. Jeff even played "Live Like You're Dying" at the Country Music Awards. A song so special it took on a life of its own, shooting up the charts in record time, breaking a thirty-year record for consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Charts. Jeff also wrote the last chapter for Baseball legend Tug McGraw's autobiography "Ya Gotta Believe." He also ran marathons  for the Tug McGraw Foundation while supporting research for brain tumor patients. 

    Jeff McMahon went to Nashville all by himself; his Dad used to drive two hours to buy records and wouldn't allow him to buy his first keyboard unless they could afford a case. He's a self-taught piano man who became the 2001 Nominee for "Musician of the Year/Keyboardist" by the Academy of Country Music. He's played with Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors for nearly two decades  and played on countless number one singles. He's edited books, and aside from running 6 marathons himself, coached other runners to raise money for charities while working and producing new artists like Ashlyn Grayce, Jim Brown, Nicole Lewis, and Maddye Trew, and Zach Stone.

    In this episode, Jeff discusses moving forward, hit records, and holding onto your heart. He also shares lessons from the road and tips around making stronger connections with others. It where cameras, keyboards, and Clubhouse meet. With a powerful performance at the end! 

    Kerry Brett and Jeff McMahon cover a lot of ground. Topics include:
    Why being authentic allows you to connect with others in a meaningful way.
    Slow down and pay attention to others. Paying attention and listening will go a long way when building new relationships online.
    You will connect with people for different reasons, so just be yourself, and don't be afraid to say what's on your mind.
    Set boundaries with your schedule, don't try to be too available. Men like women who aren't easily assessable.
    If you're honest with who you are, you will stand out. Most people are pretending to have a perfect life that doesn't exist.
    Listen to what others  say on Clubhouse, which is a great place to hear responses in real-time. If you spend time in rooms on Clubhouse, this will help you improve your communication skills. 
    Why being honest and authentic builds trust. Men fall in love with the real you anyway. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there in a big way.
    People are so rushed and distracted, so pay attention. Slow it down; it's ok to wait to respond until you find the right words.
    Being quiet and being intentional are powerful tools when communicating with others.
    If you're always kind, it will go a long way. The struggle is real, so kill them with kindness.
    Date a lot. Practice makes perfect. The more you date, the better you'll become.
    Lead with your heart, and don't forget to be authentic. Say what you want to say, not what you think you should say. That's how you'll make a significant impact when online dating.

As an inline speed skater, she won multiple World Championship gold medals on the United States relay team. At the 2010 Olympic trials, Kelly made the United States speed skating team but was bumped from the team after another skater was granted a re-skate. In March 2010, she fell during a race and suffered a tragic injury. After intensive rehab, Kelly returned to skating and set two personal best times in November 2011. She made the 2011–2012 World Cup team and placed third in the 1000 meters national championships. At the 2014 U.S. Olympic trials, she skated a personal best time to place fourth and make the Olympic team.

    In her words, she wasn’t first. She wasn’t last; she was always the girl right there. She is the ultimate comeback kid, and sometimes it’s as easy as – just continuing to show up. Kerry Brett and Kelly Gunther cover a lot of ground around dating and being single. Topics include

    If you get knock down, use that anger and energy to continue to work hard.
    The comeback is always stronger than the set back.
    What you ask for you will get.
    Have confidence and when you walk into the date walk in life.
