The Tinder Project

Send us a text

In this epic episode, Teal and Mark discuss one of the most painful and frustrating questions dating coaches hear. The Good-Luck-Chuck dilemma of "Why did he commit to the next woman after me?!?" Mark unpacks how he helps clients through this problem, what different versions of this challenge look like, and how much responsibility the person experiencing the pattern should take.

In addition, the duo play "Would you rather" with difficult dating questions that lead into conversations about non-monogamy and Teal cutting all her hair off, Teal briefly turns the podcast into a psychic-medium favourite number session, and Mark reveals the bio he's been using and success he's been having with the latest update on the Tinder Project.
