063: When Opposites No Longer Attract – Michael Testa

There are those life moments when you realize, "This just isn't working!" For some it's when they realize, "I'm gay and I just gotta stop pretending to be straight." For others, its "I'm killing myself trying to carry this team and I hate it." Regardless of the situation, suddenly you realize the opposite of what you thought you wanted, desired, or are trying to be is no longer attractive. And, that's when the real talk starts...with yourself and others.

Michael Testa, author of When Opposites No Longer Attract, shoots straight with us about discovering and using those empowering moments to move yourself into your destiny in a whole new way.

132: Dating for the modern gay guy – Tyler Greenberg

Dating is a pain in the ass...and not in a good way. For most gay men, the dating and pursuit of Prince Charming, is a frustrating, just give up scenario, that leaves most little energy for even a hookup. Or, you aren't really serious about dating and say you are, but haven't found the right way to start the dating adventure and make it worth your time. How about instead, trying a new way of connecting with intention and having a real conversation on that first encounter rather than depending on the standard, tried and true - posed profile pic, short description, likes/dislikes, and then swipe right or left. Enter Teleport.co. Stop swiping, start dating from the comfort of your own space, with real online connections...not just a photo. It's a new way of brining connection to your dating adventure and helping you get where you're trying to get - meeting your people, finding your person. Founder, Tyler Greenberg shares their idea and his candid views on what is wrong with the dating environments today, and how Teleport.co is getting ready to shake up the dating world - regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. About Tyler Tyler is one of the co-founders of Teleport, a video speed dating app. He started the company with his lifelong best friend and together they are enjoying every step of the journey!
