Today we’re going to talk to Sam Yagan, the CEO of the newly-public Match Group. Match is a dating conglomerate that combines Match, OkCupid, Tinder, and Plenty of Fish under one banner.

The company just went public raising over $400 Million dollars on the back of over a billion Tinder swipes.

In this episode we’ll learn how to handle negative PR better than a bad breakup, how to learn to love churn, and why founding a dating startup is harder than dating itself.
