In this episode, Jaci and Michael Russo sit down with Zach Schleien, CEO and Co-Founder of Filteroff, the video speed dating app changing how people meet and connect online.

Zach shares how building authentic relationships, whether in love or in business, comes down to one thing: authenticity. From creating a more honest dating experience to building multiple successful brands, Zach’s story is a masterclass in how to earn trust in a filtered world.

They discuss what it takes to brand for connection, why human matchmaking beats algorithms, and how the same principles behind meaningful relationships apply to meaningful marketing.

You’ll hear:

• Why authenticity is the new currency of both dating and branding
• How video builds trust faster than text or photos ever could
• What every business can learn from the psychology of matchmaking
• Why segmentation is key to clarity, whether you’re finding love or your ideal audience
• The role of human connection in scaling digital brands

If your brand is more “swipe left” than “love at first sight,” Zach’s insights will help you rethink how to create real relationships that last.
