What happens to connection when we put our phones away? Matchmaker Maria sits down with Randy Ginsberg, founder of Kanso, to unpack phubbing (phone snubbing), modern dating burnout, and why being truly present has become one of the most underrated relationship skills. Together, they explore how intentional, phone-free spaces create deeper conversations, stronger chemistry, and real opportunities for both romantic and platonic connection.

This is not a singles event and it's not networking. It's an evening designed to help you unplug, talk like a human again, and experience what dating and socializing feel like without doomscrolling, distractions, or performative small talk. Expect thoughtful prompts, honest dialogue, and a room full of curious, emotionally available people who are actually worth putting your phone down for.

Come for the connection. Leave with clarity, community, and a reminder that presence is still the most attractive quality in the room.
