Speaker 1 (00:00):
For those of you who are dating, single, scared, want
to get out there. I just want to make you
feel better about a few things. Number One, just this morning,
the most stunning person that you could imagine, the most
desirable person that you could imagine, I presented to someone
else who is nice, looking, successful, fine, but that man

(00:26):
has in his mind what he wants age wise, not
like a point of view wise, like he has something
in his own mind, and like, I'm shocked that he
didn't just leap through the phone to go out with
this household name human, this woman I'm trying to be
very subtle about so you don't know who it is,

(00:46):
because I have a lot of people in the core
that are well known. And I said to the woman
running this for me, is this should make you feel better?
Like it's just a puzzle. There are people that are
astronaine wealthy, that are astronomically stunning, that are astronomically brilliant,
that are difficult to connect, not because they're not phenomenal,

(01:10):
but because like let's say, like there's a guy in
here who's very wealthy, very handsome, great person, fun, kids
are pretty much grown, and like there's a young woman
here he has an age range that he wants. Okay,
so he's stated his age range. Of course, everyone who
says their age range is willing to date out of it,
but they're trying to create a guideline and trying to
remain strict, which is why apps are flawed, because you're

(01:33):
on there and you're like saying yes to someone from Wheeling,
West Virginia or Des Moines because they're good looking when
you know that you're not going to be sustainable with
someone from there, but you just like you're not as
disciplined when you're like swiping or harding. So anyway, this
gorgeous woman that would be perfect for him and is
exactly his type, and he's her type, and she's in

(01:55):
his age range and they're geographically desirable, so we're like
they'd be wait, but then we realized, oh wait, she
gave this age range, or oh wait, she gave this
age range and she wants to have a baby. It
could be that everything's lined up. He's exactly her age range,
he's what she wants financially, intellectually, spiritually, but she wants

(02:18):
to have a baby he doesn't, or but he's perfect
for her, but he as a child who's eleven years old,
or he's perfect for her. He has the kids are
all grown, but he lives in DC and she doesn't
want long distance. You guys don't know how hard it
is to line up. Alignment is so incredibly huge. Okay,

(02:40):
another amazing thing that's been going on. So we had
our second event for the Core in Palm Beach. The
first one was in Miami. The first one was in
Miami at like a hip cool place, like a club
you couldn't get into because you have to be a member,
And in my opinion, the room was a little big.
It was sexy, but we got the best room that
we could for the event. But we didn't have enough

(03:00):
people that lined up for the event, meaning we probably
had forty people and you needed like sixty to fill
this room. We had a DJ, the cocktails were cocktailing,
there was a miscal, there was caviar. It was super
sexy for me and what I like. I would have
liked more people to fill the room. For other people,
they thought it was like the hottest, sexiest thing. But
for me, I really liked it. And while it was

(03:21):
a hot sexy thing, we could have had twenty more people,
but they would have been the wrong people. In fact,
at least one person was asked to leave a community
because they don't align based on what other people feel
or have said about said people, they were asked to
leave the community. Or let's just say they're not the
right fit. They're just not the right fit for the community.
So you could fill the room with just like a hot,

(03:44):
good looking rich people, but that's not what this is about.
It's about is this person a good person? Does this
person want a relationship right now? Does this person have
the reputation of being a player. There's literally a billionaire
that this morning I excommunicated from the church because too
many people have told me that this person is like

(04:06):
a serial apptroller data like flashy person, but like flaky,
blows people off, doesn't follow through. Like we don't need
just like hot rich people at all. So we could
have had sixty people in that room in Miami, but
they have to be the right people. So now we
had our second event in Palm Beach. This was in

(04:27):
a hotel presidential suite. The room probably would have been
fifteen twenty thousand dollars if you were to rent it.
It was stunning. It was amazing. It was a gorgeous room,
so that alone meant something. This venue wouldn't allow a DJ,
which in my opinion, did detract from the event. But
by the same token, the event ended up feeling like
we were in someone's home. And even the fact that

(04:48):
they wouldn't allow a DJ meant that we had to
create a playlist. But a playlist ahead of time isn't
always ideal because someone has to man the playlist, so
that became a little bit of stress. The venue didn't
provide enough life, so I was worried and ordering candles,
and like I was worried about the place one of
the speakers, which the venue said they'd provide, and they didn't,
so I ended up having to bring my own speakers.

(05:09):
So like there was a little bit of a stress
level for me that felt very much like it was
my apartment. Mind you, I'm spending more time and effort
on this business that makes me less money than any

(05:31):
other business because it's like philanthropic. We're actually aligning people,
people are meeting, like people are connecting, people are falling
in love, but most importantly, people are loving that these
are good people. So now we're in Palm beach and
ten people because of the storm in New York and
because some personal issues like there was one death and
one illness, believe it or not. Plus the storm, we

(05:52):
had ten people drop off, so I could have filled
in another ten to twenty people just to fill the room,
which the room was full because it was a hotel here,
we had forty people we were supposed to have fifty.
And like, superficially, would we have liked a few more
of these people because they were stunning and they look good,
et cetera. Yes, but I wasn't willing to start like

(06:12):
casting to have people in this room. It had to
have integrity. And what I realized in being there is
like hours into it, every nobody would leave. So even
though I didn't think it was like the most perfect party,
and it wasn't as like sexy and chic as elite
as the Miami one for different reasons, in this case,
it was more community. People were hanging out and connecting
and talking, and what everyone said to me when they

(06:34):
left was wow, like I love what you're doing. And
everyone was a quality person. And the thing is, this
isn't like a speed dating round, like everyone in these
rooms is not meant to like find their husband or
wife right away. It's meant to show how good the
human beings are, because you're gonna have nice conversations, meet
different people, and being a good person has to count

(06:54):
for more than something, has to count for everything, because
when you go to a bar, you don't know who
what and you're wasting your time. Someone may be married.
Someone may like to just fuck around. Someone may not
want a wife. Someone may be a gold digger. Someone
may only date twenty years younger but doesn't want to
settle down. Someone may be problematic. Someone may be a hypochondriac,
a love bomber, a bread crumber, like a scumbag, has

(07:17):
a criminal record, you know. And yes, there will be
people in here that come in that like are problematic.
We're not wizards, and we do do some background checks,
but like, it's hard to do the deepest dives. I've
paid matchmakers hundreds of thousands of dollars and still had
deadbeat dads where the woman is supporting them and like
the matchmaker be like, oh my god, I'm so sorry.

(07:37):
So it can't be perfect. The community sort of weeds
out who doesn't work, and that's been naturally happening like
natural selection. So what I realized was like, I've never
been in a room where every single person is single,
wants a relationship right now, is a good person and
is intentional. So there's a guard that comes down and

(07:59):
it's not like cheesy, and you don't feel weird, and
you don't feel like you're in some forced singles mixer
because they're good people. For the first time, I gave
a speech that was like so truthful about what this
is or isn't, Like I don't know exactly what it is.
I don't know what it is, and I'm just telling
you in real time. We have thousands of people on
a wait list. I've taken no investors' money, despite being
asked by everybody. I've taken none of the tech money

(08:21):
I've been offered. I'm not making it an app. It's
almost stupid. It's almost like, what are you doing? You
have such a big business, why are you doing this?
And I realized, because I and the other people that
I've worked with or met have never been in a
room where everyone is aligned in what they want so
you feel safe. There were women in this room who
are being set up with people not in the room,

(08:42):
meaning they came to support the community. They didn't necessarily
come to meet someone they're so excited with who they've
already been connected to, but they wanted to just be
part of this world. And one woman, this stunning woman
who's going out this extremely successful man, they have like
minded desires. She's Christian and wanted someone to go to
church with. I think it was her or him, I

(09:02):
don't remember who it was, but he's a devout Christian.
Like that's alignment, Like I don't want to go to
church with someone like I don't want that someone expresses that, like,
we're not giving you someone who's agnostic or a Jewish
Man or someone who doesn't care about religion. Like so anyway,
she came up to me and she said, I love
what you're doing. And she said, you know what, two
of the girls here said, when I go out on

(09:23):
my date with this guy, they want to get together
with me before and have lunch. She said, because a
lot of my friends are not single, and like, I
don't really have anybody who's in the same boat as
me to talk to about this. And I'm like, oh
my god. The last event, men were meeting other men
in their businesses and in this event, like women were
meeting women also to support them. And then one of

(09:45):
the men took out a woman that you know to
go for dinner after the event. And they're not getting together,
they're not even necessarily interested in each other, but they
just were both here. They're both sexy, good looking single
people in Miami, and they're going to go out and
after for dinner because like they liked each other and
they had fun. Doesn't mean they're getting married. It means
like usually when you date, it's like, oh he's not

(10:06):
for me, goodbye. Aboard here it's like people are communicating
and connecting and it makes me so happy. There was
one woman who you also know, and she came and
she flew in for this event. We had two amazing
men for her. Okay, one of them had ironically neither
of them are because of the storm. One had an
illness in the family or someone who like hurt themselves,

(10:27):
and another had a literal death in the family. So
neither of them came. So this person flew in. I said,
I'll pay your travel, I will reimburse your travel because
these two men did not come, and she was like,
no way, and she was like I'm having the best time,
and she literally talked to people that would maybe be
good for her, not be good for her, but she
like really engaged, meaning I might be like, shit, there's

(10:48):
no one for me here and like I'm not engaging,
but I wouldn't because I know what this is. And
she talked to everyone and she was like, I like
what you're doing and I'm patient. Is another Aless actress
saying thing. She goes, you set me up with someone
who is not quite my physical type, but like you're
onto something because it was very close and I wish
this person could be for me because that's what I

(11:09):
am looking for. But there's like a physical type and
maybe an age that I'm looking for. I need a
little bit more of this. And I connect with her
all the time, saying, because you're so patient and so positive,
we're like totally looking for you. And the woman who

(11:37):
the two guys didn't show up, there was a guy
there that she said she might be interested in. She goes,
I'm gonna go out and talk to such and such
and I said, do you want me to introduce you?
She goes, no, I got it. And I watched other
people that maybe were a little more shy or kind
of used to the traditional guys coming up and talking
to them, and like they were just talking to each
other as women and maybe they met great friends as
women and that's great too, but they didn't like stand

(11:59):
up to talk to people and afterwards were like, I
wish this person came to talk to me, and we're like,
that's not really what this is. Like there was a
moment in the event where I said to two people
that like just look really like fit and fun and
like seem cool, and I just go, why aren't you
two talking to each other? Like so pushy? And they
ended up talking to the entire night. They were so aligned.

(12:19):
There's one thing off with location and maybe like how
old someone's kids are, because that's an alignment thing. They
were like ninety nine point nine percent perfect except for
this one thing, and that's up to them to decide
whether that's the one element of a New York City
apartment that they could compromise on or not. But like
we're onto somebody because I was right to pull them together.

(12:41):
And it's fun. You know. I was talking to this
very successful man today who's not in here, and I
sent him like one of the people, and I'm like,
who do you know who'd be great for this person?
He like called me with five people. We never talk.
He was so into it. I'm like, wait, why you
so into it? He goes cause it's like helping people.
I'm like, exactly, it's like it's like business philanthropy, you know.
So anyway, I just wanted to explain to you that,

(13:02):
like you don't know where it's going to line up
for you and in your own life, whether you're in
here or not, or you're paying for yourself to meet
someone or not, like whether you're on apps, whether you're
with your friends, Like, you gotta go for it. You
also have to be open, you have to be positive,
You have to pay it forward because it comes back
to you. So that woman who's travel I offered to

(13:24):
pay for and she declined. Who went outside to talk
to that guy? Who did not meet someone in that
room that night, which was not the goal because we
didn't have one hundred and fifty people. It was like
forty people because I wasn't doing filler. But everybody in
there was open, and people in there might have someone
because now they're in the room getting to talk to you,
so they might have someone for you, you know, or

(13:46):
a friend who has a friend, but I just love
the person who's open. And that woman who's open is
like my another top priority for me now because of
her attitude. So like, what you put into life you
get out. What you put into parenting you get out.
Which you put into friendships you get out. Will you
put into your community you get out. Would you put
into your co op, your country club, you're making costumes
at school, you get out. I don't put into everything,

(14:09):
so I don't get out of everything. But with this,
it was a very interesting dynamic in like put yourself
out there, even if you might want to meet friends
or meet someone in business, Like, there's not gonna be
a downside to putting yourself out there. The worst that
happens is like it doesn't happen in that moment, but
you don't know what the long game is. So I

(14:29):
really liked that, and I loved people being honest. I
love that this is this community no one's embarrassed to
be in. People are like, yeah, I'm doing this, I'm
into it. Like the literal most successful people in here,
which might be an indication to why they're successful. They're
the ones that contribute the most. They act like they
are like young hungry people that are my interns, Like

(14:50):
they're literally the most successful people you've ever heard of,
and they're like, wait, what about this? What about that?
I have some ideas for you. I think this would
be where people like it. People like being part to
something that helps other people that they can contribute to.
It makes you feel at a certain age when you're
in your forties, fifties, sixties, Okay, thirties, people are depressed. Twenties, yes,
but they have more opportunity. They're going out and getting

(15:11):
drunk more. They don't have kids, they don't they're not
living the same way, they don't have the same careers.
Your forties fifty sixties, you feel like you're fucking still,
you're sitting home, you're not moving the ball. At least
these people feel like they're moving the ball forward. Maybe
they end up finding out they want to be alone,
they can't find anyone, they have to work on themselves.
Who knows, But at least they feel like they're in
the game. It's something to fucking do. It's giving yourself purpose.

(15:34):
So I'm very excited about it. And also, this is
a thing that you should know in every aspect of
your life and your work is like be honest about
where you are on the process. This event, in my opinion,
was probably because of the ten people that dropped off.
It was probably of all events that would be something
like this, Like it was fun, it was like being
in someone's like beautiful home party. It wasn't like the

(15:55):
met Gala or like the greatest, most fun night of
your life. But from a meaningful, can communicative move the
ball forward perspective, I'm going to give it a B plus,
And I think I would give the last one maybe
an a minus. I like this one better because I
like connection better, but from like a superficial aspect, I
might have given the last one a minus. But it's
great to include people and be like, Hi, we had

(16:18):
a couple of issues and this is what they were.
This is what we would have liked to do better,
you know, and like just be open and honest, and
that's why people are like thank you, Like you're being
transparent in life and business and dating. Be transparent
