What are you doing? So 30 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.959 right now we're going to talk about a new app that I've created with my 31 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.640 fiance. It's called Lola and it's going to everything you touch turns to gold. 32 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.159 By the way, I'm six for six, yes, six or six 33 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.719 Okay, I would say that's platinum, go ahead, Yeah, pretty good 34 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.719 me. The next one's not going to fix everybody with the sixes. So 35 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.640 I'm best known for Kayak, the travel site, which I started two thousand 36 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.599 and four and took a public and then sold it a price line for two 37 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.759 billion dollars, so it was a really nice outcome. But I've also done 38 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.199 e commerce, customer service, security software, consumer travel, business, travel 39 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:22.280 and podcasting and my six companies, and now I'm running a little adventure studio 40 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.360 called Boston Bench Studio. And what Aventure Studio does is we come up with 41 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.400 ideas for new companies and we build them and then we raise money, We 42 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.879 hire CEOs, and there off to the races, and we've sold one company 43 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.840 so far. We have five companies under development. I'm just sitting here a 44 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.360 little because and you do all this, and have you ever had any issues 45 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.120 with anything in your life? Major? Like, let me see. One 46 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.800 thing I've been talking about recently is just my journey with bipolar illness. I 47 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.039 got diagnosed at age twenty five and struggled in my twenties and thirties. But 48 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.439 I've been doing really well the last ten years. Ten last years this is 49 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.159 amazing, Like we wouldn't have admitted this fifteen twenty years ago, and now 50 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.240 you're cool if you have some crazy thing, I don't know, Like I've 51 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.360 been talking about my panic attacks for twenty since for thirty six years, but 52 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.919 and people say, why do you tell people you have panic attacks? Because 53 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.560 people will judge you, and people will I don't give two craps who judges 54 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.879 me? Right, But it's funny how now we're letting all the stuff out, 55 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.199 so and I think that's great. Yeah, And what I would say 56 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.479 is smash the stigma, smash the state. We want to make it safe 57 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.199 exactly. Back in January, I took over Tedex Boston and we hosted a 58 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.159 day of nonprofits at UMass Boston, and we had fifteen nonprofit leaders each tell 59 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.960 their story, and I told my story with a nonprofit. I've started five 60 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.479 nonprofits and one of them is called the Bipolar Social Club. And I cried 61 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.599 my own presentation a little bit. It was tough. When I was done 62 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.439 with it, it was the most vulnerable I'd ever been on tape. I 63 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.159 sort of collapsed and had to go home and be a recluse for a day 64 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.240 or two to get my energy back and it's out there. It's up on 65 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.280 YouTube now and I can't take it back. But I've heard it helps people. 66 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.680 Do you want to Yeah, I've heard it. It helps people like 67 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.280 people that are real. I've been real my whole life. I don't know 68 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.280 any other way. So when I meet other people that are real, then 69 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.759 I like real people. I don't like people that are fake and phony and 70 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.720 people think, oh god, they got so much money. No this, 71 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:29.120 I always say, the poor person that becomes rich if they were we use 72 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.319 the word PRII we won't use, but you know what I'm saying. If 73 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.240 the guy was a PRI before he had money, he's going to be a 74 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.800 PRI after he's got money. Right, and the woman too. I don't 75 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.319 think money should change anybody. Money should be about something that makes life easier 76 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.519 and help others that you can help make maybe somebody else's life a little bit 77 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.959 easier, but should change who you are, right, And I don't think 78 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.680 money has changed to Paul English? Is am I right now? Not a 79 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.040 lot? I mean my best friends, of my high school friends, and 80 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.000 there's five of us and we've been playing proger since we're twelve years old. 81 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.480 We still get together and we know the good back and ugly. We know 82 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.079 where the bodies are buried exactly, and they don't give me any credit for 83 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.720 anything. We just give each other and have the best time. So you 84 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.240 hold on to your old friends. I love them. I'm just going to 85 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.759 take a guess that you can't be a cancer or virgo? Are you? 86 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.759 I'm a virgo? Okay, Virgos don't hold on the friends. Virgo's and 87 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.600 cancers to hold on to friends. Yeah, I have all my friends since 88 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.839 fourth grade amazing and I like those friends. But the new friends I made 89 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.319 right. So people always ask me how many friends did you make on the 90 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.439 ladder of success? Right? I laugh? I go no, no, 91 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.800 no, no, no, you mean how many friends did I lose? 92 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.160 Right? I really want my friends to begin with, and how many acquaintances 93 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.279 did I make? Right? So, yes, I lean on my old 94 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.199 friends because they know you, they know and they know everything. Yeah, 95 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.920 and they're not the judge in or we're just we're just we're back in our 96 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.560 little bodies as kids. But we're growing ups, right, And it's a 97 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.079 good. Virgos and cancers love their old friends because it's a feeling of safety 98 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.720 and home. Great. So that's a good thing, all right. Talked 99 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.480 to me about this dating app. Here's called LOLA. It stands fine for 100 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:03.319 Love Language l LA. It's Lola dot com. And there's two things about 101 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.199 it that are different than any other dating app. And the reason we came 102 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.600 up with Lola was on my second date with Rachel, which is four years 103 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.079 ago, she pitched me on some ideas for dating app. I'm like, 104 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.000 it sounds interesting. I get pitched like every day for yeah, my now 105 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.519 fiance. We met four years ago and on our second date, she said, 106 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.800 I have an idea for dating app, and pitch me and we would 107 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.000 talk about it. She could go on that second date, the first date 108 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:34.839 to try to pitch you. How did you actually meet her on a dating 109 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:42.120 Yeah? And she would pitch me every now. And because both of us 110 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.720 were like I would describe as prolific daters, we did it a lot. 111 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.879 I mean two in one night, three on the weekends. I mean really, 112 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.519 Yeah, I love meeting people. I love meeting people. So to 113 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.920 me, dating was away just to meet different people, you know, in 114 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.680 different places. Anyway, Rachel and I hit it off, and well way, 115 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.639 first of all, like, see what will say to me in the 116 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.399 old days, like early on, if I if I sing this text, 117 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.240 say you need me, it's some point, it's amazing. Yeah, yeah, 118 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.000 I love it. How many of those did you do in one night? 119 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.680 How do you escape? Scapevals? Is that they called the escape belves. 120 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:15.879 I've literally had friends that like go for drinks and they'll be like the 121 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.639 person looks at the picture and they go out. They like walk by their 122 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.959 date and go out the back door of the bar. Yeah, that's not 123 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.079 a good thing. Like you get to look your picture. You can't clean 124 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.079 your picture up to a point where you don't look neat the picture. One 125 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.879 of my women friends, single woman, once was on a date, a 126 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.240 bad date, and she excused herself to go to the bathroom. When she 127 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.720 called me from the bathroom and she said, call me in five minutes and 128 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.680 tell me there's been an accident in my family. And then then we don't 129 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.759 want to bring bad comic to our family. Right, there's been an accent 130 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.560 to a friend of a friend just can't be out of her gate. So 131 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.040 all right, so go ahead, I'm sorry to interrupt. So we were 132 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.759 talking about it every now and then, and then finally last summer, I'm 133 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.920 not running this venture studio, and our job is to create apps and create 134 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.519 companies. So I said, let me look into this dating thing. So 135 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.480 we did a last summer and we interviewed two hundred and fifty people about dating 136 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.720 and we asked him what they didn't like about dating apps. They told us 137 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.480 ten or a dozen things they hated about dating apps. There's a lot of 138 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.439 terrible things about dating apps. But the two biggest problems was one people said, 139 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.519 it's just way too much work. You're swiping and swiping, it'sart chatting 140 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.160 with someone. You think you're connecting, then they ghost you. They just 141 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.000 sort of disappear. You're talking to ten people at once, you forget who 142 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.279 you're talking to, and it just takes forever to meet someone. And then 143 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.480 the second problem that we heard from women in particular is a met a guy 144 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.559 online. He seemed cool, they go to meet him in person, big 145 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.799 letdown. Either guy was catfishing them, looks nothing like his photos he used 146 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.799 like his college photos instead of what he looks like now, or the guy 147 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.960 was just a jerk, you know, And we want to solve both those 148 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.200 problems. Okay, So just so you know where I'm coming from, right 149 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.600 when my daughter firus got onto a dating app. I'm like, only we 150 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.679 had people do that. She goes, no, Mom, this is the 151 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.919 news. It's the majority now right. So but to me at my generation, 152 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.279 like yeah, with all first that like you're on a what oh my 153 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.639 god, you're such a loser, right, Like this is like can't you 154 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.000 meet a person that's the majority? That's the majority? Right? So, 155 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.799 but that was my my brain going, get off that thing, like what 156 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.000 if you meet something they hurt you. Listen, let's hold that offtment. 157 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.080 We go to break I'm Sidy stumbling and listen to WBZ News Radio ten thirty. 158 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.720 We Break Back sponsored by floor in Decor, National Lumber, and Village 159 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:39.120 Bank. I'll ever make it through through this world with you.

Okay, now introduce themselves. 163 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.320 Good now, Eric can start introduce themselves. Go ahead, Paul, finish 164 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.279 up what you were saying. So those are the two biggest problems we heard. 165 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.039 Way too much work takes too long to actually meet someone in real life, 166 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.639 and then somebody to meet someone's a creep, like you meet someone's a 167 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:11.000 jerk, and we want to fix both of them more jerks than not jerks 168 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.200 in your eyes. I have to put this app together, I will say, 169 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.080 in my humble opinion single career, yes, like sort of between serious 170 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.879 girlfriends and I'm using the apps. I think most people are pretty nice, 171 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.879 really. I mean I did meet a number of people who catfished me, 172 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.240 would send me like their modeling photos from twenty years ago, exactly what they 173 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.320 look like when I met them at Masters and Seaport or whatever. But most 174 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.320 people are nice people. I mean, we all have our stories, but 175 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.720 can these dating apps like we if we all remember we had the what was 176 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.799 that? We watched it on Lifetime original The Twindler No Tinder Swindler, Right, 177 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.720 I saw that? Yeah? Like crazy crazy? So is there any 178 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.799 way to vet these people before coming on Apple? You really can't. So 179 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.440 this is what we're doing. The first thing is when you install Lola for 180 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.559 the very first time, we say Lola is for people who want to go 181 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.279 out on dates this week, and then we say what night do you want 182 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.279 to go out? You know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, there's a 183 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.360 Friday. We share the next five nights. There's a little button saying not 184 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.600 ready yet. If you click that, we say Lola for people want to 185 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.440 go out on dates this week and meet in real life. If you just 186 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.720 want to chat, we highly recommend Tinder Bumble. They're great for chatting, 187 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.519 which is sort of a you know saying, the other apps aren't really about 188 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.919 meeting people, they're just about chatting endlessly. The second thing we do is, 189 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.440 let's say you what's your husband saying? Again, right, Ray? 190 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.840 Let's say you match. Let's say you say I'll go out. Well, 191 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.159 you're going up great form fiance the husband go ahead, okay good. Let's 192 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.240 say you say I'll go out on Tuesday night. That's your free night. 193 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.120 We only show you people who are ready to go out Tuesday night. So 194 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.440 let's say you match with Ray, you chat with them in the app, 195 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.879 you make plans to go out Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning, we message 196 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.919 you and we say, did you go out with Ray last night? Yes? 197 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.240 So no, how would you rate your experience one to five? I'm 198 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.559 gona tell you more about this in a second. Then we say, which 199 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.559 of these positive and negative actibutes. Would you associate with Ray? So you're 200 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:15.200 asking both parties yes, and it takes one minute to answer these four questions. 201 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.039 He's an idiot. He didn't look like what he looked like. Let's 202 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.000 say if you rate him A one, we ask whoa what went wrong? 203 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.960 And one of the things you can click is I felt unsafe? Okay, 204 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.720 if someone is marked is unsafe by people who are like good people on the 205 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:41.320 platform lifetime ban So we're kicking out all the like really bad daters, like 206 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.799 the awful people are going to be as we speak. What downloading this as 207 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.159 we speak? Oh, we're downloading this as we speak. Okay. Now 208 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.639 I have a direct line to Paul if anything ever happens to my daughter. 209 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.840 Okay, So anybody's listening that's on this app, Okay, we'll take good 210 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.080 care of her. Paul's can watch over you. You're going on the the 211 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.799 ip liss absolutely and then these people pay how much a month to be on 212 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.919 your app? Right now, it's free for this year because we're just trying 213 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.600 to build an audience. We're launching in Boston. Most dating apps are around, 214 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.440 it's just going to be for Boston people. Right now. Right now, 215 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.279 it's just in Boston. We're going to launch in New York, Batam 216 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.360 right Boston. Yeah, we're trying to make just get all the kinks out, 217 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.879 make sure it works well, people understand that they like it. We'll 218 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.600 launch in New York and the summer. We'll launch in Miami in the fall, 219 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.639 and then we'll raise around to financing and take it national. And that's 220 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.840 the game plan. Let's plan. And any of these dating software whatever, 221 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.879 Twindler, what is it called Bubble or the tender Bumble, Have any of 222 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.519 these companies been brought out. Yeah, there's there's quite a lot of buyout. 223 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.399 There's one company called the Match Group, which is the old match dot 224 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.639 com. Yeah, they own I want to say, at least fifteen or 225 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.039 twenty dating companies. They're buying a lot of them up, Bumble Independent Bumble 226 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.639 is wildly successful. And then the Match Group they own Match, Tinder, 227 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.759 Plenty of Fish, the League which I'm friends with the founder Hinge. I'm 228 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.919 friends of the founder. I was an investor in Hinge, so I'm friends 229 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.799 with one of the Tender founders. I have connections in the industry. I 230 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.759 have some great advisors who are telling me watch out for these landmines. So 231 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.480 the Timlos Swindler, whatever came out, did that hurt? Did that hurt 232 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.000 that app for a while. I don't think it did, which is surprising. 233 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.639 Yeah, you would have thought that that would have hurt all the app. 234 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.679 It did it, But that guy we kicked off our app because as 235 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.879 soon as someone figures them out, lifetime ban. Okay, now with these 236 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.240 apps or your app, because I know nothing about these apps, so I'm 237 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.559 talking from the dumbest part of my brain right now. Do you have a 238 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.519 VIP section that people have to pay more money to upgrade? Because I don't 239 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.240 know, like they should be a VIP section. Are you even have a 240 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.159 VIP section? We don't have that yet. But one thing we do have, 241 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.240 and Samantha is now on the list, is we have a friends of 242 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.879 Lola. So there's certain profiles that get like a gold star and when people 243 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.120 see that, they're going to say, whoa, why do you have a 244 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.360 gold star? Okay? And in the short term, you know, maybe 245 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.320 that means this is one of our premium users, and the shortter means you're 246 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.480 like you're friends with the Lola founders. There's certain people were going to highlight 247 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:28.080 and show their profile more often and show them to high profile people other high 248 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.559 profile people. So that's what you're doing. So basically, like all my 249 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.080 verification badges that I never paid for, that I actually earned on my own, 250 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.360 Yeah, now you can buy them. Yeah, well that's fine. 251 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.000 A lot of the apps they also make you, like even if you post 252 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.440 photos, they make you verify your photos. They make you take a photo 253 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.919 of yourself right in that moment. We do that as well. You do 254 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.799 that, yeah, because we want to make sure that they're not catfishing and 255 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.399 sending photos of other people. Catfishing meals, so catfishing means uh here. 256 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.840 So basically, like if I was on the app and I used your photo 257 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.519 and said I was you, and then you're meeting me thinking it's you, 258 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.600 they change their photos. Yeah, absolutely. And the other thing that happens 259 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.080 a lot, and this creeps me out, but men go on dating apps 260 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.679 and they upload photos of women and they say they're a woman. What, 261 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.559 yeah, I know that one. No, it's weird. What do you 262 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.799 mean they say, the woman? I don't know. It's weird, but 263 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.279 it happens. And so what it means is if you're a guy on one 264 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.120 of these dating apps and you're messaging with a woman and kind of falling for 265 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.200 it. You might be messaging a guy, right, what the right? 266 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.519 That doesn't happen on Lola because we do the photo verification. Oh okay, 267 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.399 when you upload photos, we then say, turn on the camera, do 268 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.840 a selfie of yourself. We analyze to make sure it's a real human. 269 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.320 You're not holding up to a photo. This different technology. We can make 270 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.639 sure you hold up to a face and we make sure that face matches the 271 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.000 photos you upload. Got it, so we get rid of cat fishing, 272 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.519 Sammy, you know more about this stuff than I do. Okay, what 273 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.480 do you want to know? I want you to ask Paul some questions because 274 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.840 you know why, like base it off of love languages. I mean I 275 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:04.599 always ask people with their love languages, but like why it's not so the 276 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.960 term love language was in use way before that book came out. There's a 277 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.960 book called Love Lingue the Five Love Languages. Yeah, but love language, 278 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.039 that phrase has been around for hundreds of years, and we just think it's 279 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.480 you know, what's the chemistry between two people, Like what's important to what's 280 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.359 important to me? And it's not literally the book. We don't ask you, 281 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.240 you know, I like gifts, affirmation, whatever the five are. 282 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.519 It's more like we're going to connect you to someone. And the other thing 283 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:36.359 about going out this week is we're telling people take a chance. Meet someone 284 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.359 online who looks interesting, Go meet them. That might be the love of 285 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.920 your life. And maybe they don't look maybe they don't exactly what you think 286 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:49.079 you're looking for. Rachel often tells people that issue was paying more attention. 287 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.119 She would have filtered me out and not met me. We have an age 288 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.400 difference, and she says, I don't know why I'm dating someone so old, 289 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.519 but anyway, I clicked it's big. It's twenty years so she's how 290 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:07.359 old about thirty five? In sixty? No, you're not, I am 291 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.680 get out of here in sixty? He give me a fist bum bro. 292 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:12.319 Okay, that's because you have they would say, because you have a full 293 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:15.279 head of here. Okay, yeah, that's it his thing. I've got 294 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.839 a full head of here. You never look at your age, No, 295 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.839 you don't look you know, you actually look like you're in your late forties. 296 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.480 The best? How's that word? Sixty? And I'm not I got 297 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.240 to say that in a few more months. I don't know if I can 298 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.960 handle that word. That's like, oh God, Okay, so you and 299 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:37.359 Rachel found each other and you're madly in love and coming from some of my 300 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.920 generation, we met through I don't know, like we all got kind of 301 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.480 marry young and we knew everybody, and everybody knew each other, and this 302 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.000 is just a different world for me. Yeah. I mean back in the 303 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.640 day, I would meet people through work, through friends at bars. So 304 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.359 there's no dating apps. People don't want to go out the way they used 305 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.599 to go out in the eighties and nineties anymore. They don't want to do 306 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.440 that. And after a certain age, what you're working, you're tired. 307 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.519 It's a game of numbers. I think choosing your mate, your life partner, 308 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.960 is the most important decision you'll make your entire life. That person will 309 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.759 determine in many ways. Do you feel supported love, Do you feel safe? 310 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.640 Do you feel safe to innovate, safe to try things, safe to 311 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.920 take risks. Your partner should be all that for you. Now, why 312 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:29.160 would you choose amongst three people? It's a game of numbers. You should 313 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.400 meet a lot of people, and maybe it's not the third person. You'll 314 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.359 meet. It might be the twenty third person you'll meet, but if you 315 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.880 meet some more people, you might just fut slash all that thought. We're 316 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.680 going to break come city stumbling.

No, but she does, but all my friends have 329 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:41.839 my location and she does with my fiance, And so you share your location 330 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:48.039 with Ray but not Mom. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty funny. So 331 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.319 good night's because we also worked here. You don't want you don't want Mom 332 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.480 to show up on the date? Oh, she won't. She won't even 333 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.720 drive the bar. I used to do that all the time back in the 334 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.279 day. But the point is, like I couldn't find Sammy's fast on her 335 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.160 texts, like, right, boom boom boom, you sent her text like 336 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.720 last week. So I sent her text, Hi, Sam, I got 337 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.240 a question and we're working on this is a this is a twenty million dollar 338 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.000 land by right, Like, she's not returning my text right, Like I 339 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.839 need to know that, Sam. And then I see her father coming into 340 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.440 the group family text, Hey, has anybody talked to Sam? Say? 341 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.640 I'm like, come to think of it, I haven't spoke to Sam. 342 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.599 Say my son comes in. I haven't spoke to her. Well where is 343 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:26.839 she? Sindey? I go, how do I know where she is? 344 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.400 Right? Like, let me find her? So I privately text her. 345 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.440 She doesn't reply. I'm like, Ray, I know Sammy, she has 346 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.440 a location. Just let me know she's safe. So he goes, I'm 347 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.799 not getting involved, so he must know that she's safe. Right. So, 348 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.079 but I'm still I go. You know, I forget you, right, 349 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.440 like if you saw that she was in the library. I don't know 350 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.440 what he thought, commentsman parks somewhere near where she lives. Right. So 351 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.119 I then text her friend Danielle, and I go, Danielle, it's sin 352 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.960 blah blah bah. Have you spoke the same thing? Yep, I get 353 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.000 one answers back. Right, Okay, have you spoke to the last couple 354 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:06.400 of hours? Yes, we're at Sammy. Do you know yes? Weah, 355 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.279 she's on a date. Do we know who this dude is? Yes? 356 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.680 Is she safe? Yes? Okay, thank you. Then I come 357 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.200 back again. How do you know he's safe? I think they went to 358 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.440 school together at some point in their lives. Right, And then I just 359 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.400 backed it off, right because with twitch Yeah he ma's my phone. Thirty 360 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:32.000 two texts later. But understand why I live in a real world. I 361 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.880 live in. If Chad didn't answer, you don't look for him every five 362 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.720 seconds. It's not me because I'm respond like that. No, because your 363 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:45.039 brother a strong thirty year old guy that can handle himself better than most, 364 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:47.359 and I know like no one's gonna grab him. No, all the guy's 365 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:51.480 gonna grab him. Good luck, and he's he's his common sense, he's 366 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.880 sharp, hes street, he's all that. Sammy thinks. The world is 367 00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:57.400 made of wonderful people. There's no bad there's no boogeyman. Okay, they're 368 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.519 all good people. Right, So different kids, it's to same parents. 369 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.200 But okay, we're going to go back to the app. But yes, 370 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.759 I worry about my children. Go ahead, you asked Paul the hot question. 371 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.640 How do you plan to different each differentiate this app with all the other 372 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.559 dating apps. There's a couple of things. I mean, the most important 373 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:22.119 things. The city stuff was going to be wanted. The most important thing 374 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.960 is we want a great community of daters. We wanted we want to be 375 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.160 able to filter out the bad guys almost to the point where you can go 376 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.599 out bad woman too, and bad women. Yeah, we're going to becoming 377 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.119 very abusive. Have noticed that too? Do you want them? Answer? 378 00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.000 Okay, go ahead, sorry, but we want we want to hooks now. 379 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.240 We want to filter the baddies and almost where you could have dinner with 380 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.839 anyone on Lola, male, female, whatever and have a good time. 381 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.640 Because it's a great community people. So we're doing a lot to market to 382 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.200 that. We're doing a lot to curate that, and we're doing things to 383 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.960 filter out people that aren't good daters. Okay, well, just because they're 384 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.359 a bad data doesn't mean they're a bad person. Right, Well, it 385 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.240 depends how the If someone gets rated a one star, we ask why they 386 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.319 rated a one star. This is the other thing. If you rate Let's 387 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:12.920 say you got on Ray on that first Tuesday night on Monday, we ask 388 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.680 you to rate him one to five. Right, I get feedback, the 389 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:21.960 positive native feedback includes things like the positive things like yeah, but what if 390 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.119 I'm crazy. Well, we look at how people rate you, and we 391 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:30.519 look at everyone you rate. If you give every guy, if you give 392 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.200 every guy one, the problem's not the guy, it's right, it's you. 393 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.680 The problems you. But when you rate Ray and I'm sure you would 394 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.839 have given him a five, we then show what are these positive actibuis? 395 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:47.240 I dated Rate in high school, married my husband Joe, and I got 396 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.680 divorced like eighteen years before he did, and then he got divorced like three 397 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.680 years before he came into my life. Well not divorced, but was separated 398 00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:00.200 for three years. So I went from Jille to Ray, Right, a 399 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.880 way to Joe to Ray right, welcome to be in a cancer But that's 400 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.880 me. I need that. I need to know who you are, like 401 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.759 I don't know you all live in a weird alien world book Well, because 402 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.240 there's also a sense of like if if you know them too much and you're 403 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.119 not interested, then you feel like you're stuck with that person in your life 404 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.759 and maybe you don't want them in your life. What's that mean? Like 405 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.000 if you like, when you're meeting someone in dating app and like you don't 406 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.359 actually know them, say it doesn't work out, no harm, no foulow, 407 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.359 and you don't have to then deal with them. But no one gets 408 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.000 a little psycho and like likes you more, maybe chase you a little bit 409 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.039 hotter, and you push them away and they don't like that. They don't 410 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.319 like to get I don't really go past one day if I don't like you, 411 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:38.799 Okay, what happens? You go in two, three days and they 412 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:41.920 don't like that you're blowing them off? Does that happen? Paul? I 413 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.319 usually tell someone I'm not interested, but a lot of people do ghost people. 414 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.240 But I usually say I'm not interested, And what if they are still 415 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.240 interested and become like creepy people. I mean that can happen even you meet 416 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.160 somebody in real life. That's true. You got me on that one. 417 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.079 You got to answer. I'm glad you answered that one is true to give 418 00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:03.759 that. I mean, there could be someone that's talking me all the time. 419 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.359 I have no idea and never met them. The generation on your app 420 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:14.079 is what ages. The marketing that we're doing initially in Boston is so it'd 421 00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:18.880 be demographics. I'm sorry. The initial demographics that we're marketing to in Boston 422 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.160 sort of young professionals, like late twenties and thirties. However, we have 423 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.240 everything from eighteen to I don't know about eighty, but we have every age 424 00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:32.200 on there. The reason we're marketing initially to the young professionals, it's just 425 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.279 so that when they open an app, there'll be a lot of other people 426 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.559 their age that they can match with, which is smart. Yeah. Plus 427 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:40.920 they know how to use those apps much better than older people do. Should 428 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:44.599 be toold maybe, yeah, I know I'm tech no more, but I 429 00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.200 just hear my phone. Let's I have kids. I didn't know that's why 430 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:48.920 I had kids that my kids had to fix all my apps. So you 431 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.720 I discovered a new reason to have kids. So you can have grandkids? 432 00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.400 Why do we want those? My son and his wife just had their first 433 00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.680 child. I'm so in love. I'm so happy. Really, Oh my 434 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.759 god. So do you love the grand children more than you love your children? 435 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.680 Not more, but differently. I'm really enjoying him, and I'm and 436 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.440 I love my son as a father. He's such a great father. So 437 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.839 watching the son that you raised that became the husband. Yeah, I don't 438 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.880 know what was more magical, this new little being entering into the world. 439 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.599 Are seeing my son become a father? Both of them are pretty amazing. 440 00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:23.240 I'm sure it is. Yeah, I still want to know. Right now, 441 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.720 I'm happy. I just want a couple of years not taking care of 442 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.799 anybody. What's my frozen eggs? She frozen ages? Can we put that 443 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.759 on the dating app? I get frozen? Ach? No, But they're 444 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:37.839 matchmakers, they ask you that question. Apparently certain guys will not date a 445 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.680 woman of a certain age unless they know they're ex are frozen? I never 446 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:47.039 heard of that. Yeah, wow, Wow, that's a private question. 447 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.319 That's a personal question. But okay, hip hop with another question. Sammy 448 00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:56.240 says, you're the dating app queen. What kind of user experiences Lola aim 449 00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.720 to provide? And how do you prioritize use, your feedback and satisfication? 450 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.079 Oh my god, I can't talk satisfication yet. Wow, that's a good 451 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.720 question. You dumb that down for me. I don't know how dumb it 452 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.720 down myself. No, I get it. I get it. You know 453 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.079 my career. I'm an engineer. But I can understand the question since I'm 454 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:18.319 sitting here. What did she just ask you? She asked me about the 455 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.160 use experience, like what does app look like? What does it feel like 456 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.680 to use it? And when I think about the questions like this, it's 457 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:29.000 it's less about the dating features. It's more like is that fast? Is 458 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:32.640 it clean? Is it fun? Is it simple? Is it understandable the 459 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.799 first time you use it? So things like that. And I'm an engineer 460 00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:40.119 by training, but most of my career is managing design like a Kayka manage 461 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:48.319 a design team. And I'm obsessed with branding and with perception and with how 462 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.079 people feel about your product. And if you study and do think, there's 463 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.279 something called usability testing where you bring someone into a lab and watch them use 464 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.279 your product, and you put cameras and you watch, you know, how 465 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.920 they use your products. You can learn a lot about what works and what 466 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.799 doesn't work. And for example, at Kayak, we used to have this 467 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:11.920 special monitor that had two little cameras in it and it would lock on the 468 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.119 person's eyeballs to look at where they're looking on the screen. We'd have someone 469 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.279 interviewing that use of being tested, like me or someone on my team. 470 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.920 In the next room, we might have a dozen engineers were watching this user 471 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.079 trying to use Kayak, and on the big screen in the second room, 472 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.000 you'd see whatever page you were on a Kayak, let's say flight search. 473 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.559 You see that the first or was trip Advisor, the first who was oh, 474 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.160 expeedier in Travelocity with the first tip, the first time Priceline. Those 475 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:41.839 are the original ones O G. Yeah, and then you came up. 476 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.000 We came out in O four. Because sometimes the first one doesn't do even 477 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.440 though it's the first one. Sometimes, like if you take technology like MySpace 478 00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.720 didn't make it, but then Facebook came up and smarter than the first mover. 479 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:57.359 Is not always the best exactly. Yeah, I'm going to just tell 480 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.559 you a whole that I thought we're going to break ups to be Stumpo and 481 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.359 you listen to WBZ News Radio ten thirty. Here were sponsored by Newbrook Realty 482 00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:11.359 Group, Boston Wood Smaller Insurance, World Auto Body and Tasca Drive Auto Body. 483 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:22.640 Question. Hey, welcome back to city. Stumpo tough his nails on 484 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.920 WBZ News Radio ten thirty and I'm here with Sammy and I'm here with Paul. 485 00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:32.119 We're talking about his amazing dating service that is now what's the name of 486 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:37.559 its? Sam Lola Lola? Okay, go ahead, next question, what 487 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.279 are your goals and aspirations for Lola in the coming years. Okay, this 488 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:47.559 is gonna sound funny, but I would say a year from now, you 489 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:49.960 want to say, take another three billion. Let's say this some technology conference, 490 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.839 maybe south By Southwest in Austin, Texas. If my team goes to 491 00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.720 south By and they're wearing their Lola shirts, I wanted to be crowds around 492 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.720 them. I want people to love my team. I want to build a 493 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:06.039 magical, magical team. I have this thing with each of my companies where 494 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.720 I've said magical teams build magical products, and magical products build magical p and 495 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:14.440 ls. So my first goal with Lola is have like perfection, just this 496 00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.319 incredibly high energy team has the mojo. They finish each other's sentences, they 497 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.720 laugh at each other's jokes. They just like love, love working together. 498 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.599 The second thing I want is the best product ever created in the dating industry. 499 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.200 So that seems like what you want for the legacy of Lola. It's 500 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.720 kind of you know, obviously I want to make money too, right, 501 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.319 Well, no, we want to work for free. No, we want 502 00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:37.480 if we want to work. If we want to work for free, we'll 503 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.559 just go to get exercise, Like we'll go to the gym, right if 504 00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:42.519 we need any more exercise at our reach, we don't need exercise, right, 505 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:47.799 It's just but this is your high too. But I always say that 506 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:51.039 when you love what you do, it's really not work, nop, Like, 507 00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.039 it's not I love what I do. She loves what she does. 508 00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.440 People that wait for Monday, like way for Fridays because they need that weekend. 509 00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:00.880 No, I wait for Monday. It works seven days, right, 510 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:06.920 So but there's those people that, oh, God, Friday's here. Right, 511 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:08.480 So every once in a while I'll say that because I just need like 512 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:13.319 a mental break for like four hours seven right, then I'm right back at 513 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.640 it. But I think you've loved your whole career what you do? So 514 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.519 is it really a job when you not? I'm the thing I enjoy every 515 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.440 day? Isn't looking at my bank account I enjoy? Well, that's kind 516 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.559 of fun too. Interacting with the team. I enjoy interact with customers. 517 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.000 It is fun. But you know what, okay, you know else is 518 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.680 also fun too. Okay, fun, you can compare notes on the break. 519 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:37.279 But you know what else is fun is giving away money. Absolutely. 520 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.079 I love to give me money. When I made my first million when I 521 00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:44.079 was twenty nine, and I made a rule that I said, from now 522 00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.599 on for the rest of my life, my minimum tip is twenty dollars. 523 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.880 So when I buy a cup of coffee, since a twenty nine I buy 524 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.000 a cup of coffee, I always give twenty dollars. Yeah, what I 525 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:57.640 leave everybody, Doug, You know its every morning if there's five people working, 526 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:01.519 everyone gets ten dollars. It's everybody gets to those they could be five 527 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:06.640 to everybody. They see me coming, My coffee's already made as I'm walking 528 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.160 through the door. Right, It's a great feeling. And then it's Christmas 529 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:13.240 time whatever, and you slip the guy dunk I'm not stop bucking out a 530 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.640 donkeys. I'm a donkey's. I gave them a hundred hundred hundred. And 531 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:22.079 I couldn't do that if I wasn't making a living, right, And last 532 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.440 week I was. It's a feel good feeling. Look at we all donate. 533 00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:29.759 I've been donating to Saint Jude's hospital that they've been praynant with her, 534 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:34.119 right, and the hospitals and and and you name it politicians and this. 535 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.519 But when you can actually hear the might of somebody like raise the most generous 536 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:43.319 man you've ever met, Like everybody around that pool deck every all day, 537 00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.240 he's like, open up an a corn account, right, and here here's 538 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.960 one hundred. All you guys put one hundred in your eight corner. He's 539 00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.119 just so special like that. We'll be somewhere. The guy that cleans the 540 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.039 ash tray, he'll give him twenty dollars, like, but that's that. 541 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.119 Like last week, I was in Napa Valley with a good friends. He 542 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.839 grew up a revere, right, he didn't grow up with any money, 543 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.559 right, so he's a hard working guy. I mean, I grew up 544 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.960 most rocks with My dad was a pipe feder. Okay, they are nine 545 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:10.800 people, three bedroom house, nine people three bedroom houses. Yeah, but 546 00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:14.320 I'll tell you something fun happen last week. I was in Napa Valley with 547 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.159 a friend of mine who's wealthy, and we're talking about tippings. We were 548 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:21.800 tipping people a lot last week. So we're drinking wine, having a good 549 00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.000 time, leaving very big tips. And I challenged him and I said, 550 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:29.679 sometime in the next week, let's find the most amazing wadar and tip them 551 00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.960 ten thousand dollars. We haven't done it yet, but I'm going to do 552 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:37.280 it. You know who's done Ernie's Ernie Box done things like that. Ernie 553 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.760 does always does crazy. Yeah, right, But imagine when you do something 554 00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:45.599 that you're changing somebody's life, like you're really making on the dating app. 555 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.039 Are you a good tipper? No? Most people are cheat. Yeah, 556 00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.159 we do have this problem. The first bottom it's for money or the first 557 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.639 communion money and they still have it. Okay, like either you're a generous 558 00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.639 person who you're not. I don't think it's something. It's like loyalty. 559 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.000 Either you're loyal or you're not. Either your generously or not. Some people 560 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.039 just have a personality flaw that they just can't be generous. They're just cheat. 561 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.039 I have way more fun giving way money money, absolutely, and I 562 00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:14.000 like making money. I like both ye me too, Okay, making it 563 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:16.679 and giving. Ay, that's like there's something about like when you pay tesch 564 00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:20.360 to what somebody wants and you give them a present and you see the reaction 565 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.599 that they notice that you paid attention and made their day. So there's two 566 00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:28.840 people, Paul. I don't like gifts. I get very uncomfortable language. 567 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.559 No, same, don't buy me giving them. And I love giving. 568 00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.719 You know, I send to my kids every Mother's Day, Christmas everything. 569 00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:43.159 I need nothing, just for you guys to be healthy minded, live a 570 00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.239 nice life, be good, be happy. That's it, right, And 571 00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:50.239 then raygo's crazy like call on Sammy, what stop? Like just stop? 572 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.639 Then you buy me the gift and I'm so uncomfortable opening it. But then 573 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:58.039 I'll give you twenty and I get excited watching you open them. But I 574 00:35:58.119 --> 00:35:59.960 used to make my kids. I'd say, okay, we're going to go 575 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.639 buy toys for children that don't have right, or like I was always selling 576 00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:07.360 wrapping paper and I always got the biggest prize and I was always maybe gave 577 00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.280 it, give it away, So she'd get the biggest prize, right for 578 00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:14.440 selling the most wrapping paper, girls go cookies or whatever it was, whatever 579 00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:15.679 it was, right, I mean while I'm selling them to all my guys 580 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.559 in the business. Right, And then she win the prize and said, 581 00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.840 Okay, you don't need the bicycle. You're going to find something. You're 582 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:24.679 going to give that bicycle. Incredible, right, And she'd be like, 583 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:29.239 first was like, well, why have to give the bike away? Because 584 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.199 you're going to make a difference in somebody else's life. Because truthfully, you 585 00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:35.639 didn't sell any of that wrapping paper or the cookies. I did it, 586 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:37.920 and now you are going to do something for somebody else. I just did 587 00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.480 it for you. And that's how she learns, right, And she'd give 588 00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.239 up whatever. She always got the biggest kid. Yes, that's what you 589 00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:49.000 gotta teach your children. How to be generous, how to be kind. 590 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.360 We do have on the feedback after you've been on a date. One of 591 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:57.639 the things we asked for constructive feedback is you can rate someone as not nice 592 00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.719 to waiters. Oh really, that's a good Yeah, that's a good question 593 00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:06.719 because we all should be incredibly nice to our waiters. They work hard, 594 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:09.280 and it's a job no one wants anymore, right, so you walk the 595 00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:15.039 job. Yeah? So okay, all right, so let's let's give me 596 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.239 a hypothetic. Sammy goes on a date on your app. Your app's could 597 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:21.079 be up and running. When is it up and running? Now? It's 598 00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.559 up and running. Now for creating an account and creating a profile. We're 599 00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:29.760 gonna start matching in the next I would say two to three weeks. So 600 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:32.519 the algorithm kind of matches, does this? Yes, we ask you a 601 00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.960 bunch of preferences. We ask you are you you know your gender, what 602 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:38.719 gender you want to date?

Well 604 00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:47.239 that would be no because they're ugly people, and they're good looking people. 605 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:50.960 Sorry, I hate to say it. I know on Facebook everybody thinks the 606 00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.000 kids are so beautiful, But there's some beautiful kids. How can we have 607 00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.679 so many ugly people walking around America? So no, they should be a 608 00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.880 good thing. I want a good looking guy that looks like, I don't 609 00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:01.719 know, raise a co looking guy, but I can't use him. I 610 00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:06.199 want a Brad Pitt.

I'm so lucky Rais God, he's articulately smart and he's handsome. 625 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:01.039 Well think I don't even know it's with me. You've better find a 626 00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:08.519 forty year old thirty five twenty five, No I'm kind of like stuck here 627 00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:13.239 because I still try to understand your world, your brain, how it works, 628 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:17.360 because your brain is like, did you know you're this smart? I 629 00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.039 don't know. I think I know a lot of people smarter than me. 630 00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:23.960 We can always buy brains, you know that, right, But some has 631 00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:27.599 to come up with the idea for us. Yeah, and then some he 632 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.079 has to then put the idea. What's the sense of having the knowledge if 633 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.760 you don't take the action, right? Yeah, and act? One thing, 634 00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:40.159 one thing I will say about myself positively is I'm extremely action oriented. 635 00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:44.360 A lot of people talk about ideas and they never do it, and they 636 00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.320 never do anything. I read one hundred books on how to be successful and 637 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:50.280 don't do a thing. Yeah. I love taking risks and just trying stuff 638 00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:52.280 and you might fail. Just try again and again and again and again, 639 00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.320 and you'll figure it out. I agree, Yeah, I always. You 640 00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.480 know, we debate this on Clubhouse. Do you need knowledge direction? You 641 00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:02.519 need both? That case, without knowledge, you don't take the action. 642 00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:07.000 Without action, you don't take you know, we'll actually take the more knowledge 643 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:08.639 gain, the more knowledge, the more action. But they sit there and 644 00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:12.800 read fifty books on how to be successful and no one's successful or they don't 645 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.920 get successful because they didn't take the action. Sam you have another question because 646 00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:20.000 we got no seconds. Okay, you're out of question. So we got 647 00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:22.840 to go out to break. Okay.
