    Jun 6 2024

    My guest today is Noah Heymann, a dating and relationship coach who can’t stand seeing great people frustrated or lonely and understands that the modern dating scene and online dating don’t come naturally to anyone.

    Noah uses a science and data-driven approach to help his clients find success both in their dating journey, then well into when things start to get real with their relationship.

    He’ll share the latest science on dating. From fMRI research to improve confidence and conversation, to data insights into profiles, messages, and crowd-sourced feedback on photos.

    Oh, and this is important to mention if YOU are in a super califragalistic, just as happy as you can possibly be, kind of relationship. Well hey! Congratulations, but all the more reason to listen in today, because I bet you have a friend or loved one who is looking for that too, and I bet you’ll hear a few nuggets of wisdom you could pass along.
