Episode notes

Most of the dates on dating apps go to a very small percentage of people. That kind of reminds me of one of the big complaints on dating apps is that Most of the dates goes to a verysmall percentage of people and in the case of dating apps That's the most attractive people. Before dating apps that would happen in real life But it wouldn't happen on the same scale instead of the top 1% of say attractive people getting 95% of the dates.

It's human nature to worry about the things that can go wrong.

But often overlooked is the mentality of attraction instead of detraction, or in other words focusing on what you can bring to the table instead of what you can prevent from happening.

While so many companies signal they want entrepreneurial candidates yet don't allow side projects, want out of the box thinkers yet expect them to work in a box (office), and vow they only hire top talent yet pay below market rate... there's power in thinking through whether you're truly focusing on attracting the right people or just trying to prevent wrong behavior.

In this episode, Steph and Cal discuss the mentality of being a magnet instead of a jail, originally inspired by this tweet of Steph's.
