In this inspiring episode of She Means Business—the podcast that spotlights visionary women entrepreneurs—host Dr. Myrrha Satow sits down with Amanda Hood, founder and CEO of The Crush Confidential, a luxury matchmaking service based in Ohio.
With Valentine’s (and “Galentine’s”) Day in the air, Amanda shares how her passion for connecting people evolved into a thriving business dedicated to helping clients find meaningful, long-term relationships.
Amanda reveals the winding road that led her from college professor and photographer to professional matchmaker and ultimately to launching her own high-end boutique service. She explains why a “white glove” approach, marked by empathy and deep personal investment, sets The Crush Confidential apart. Listeners will learn how Amanda’s experience working for other matchmaking companies fueled her desire to create a more genuine, personalized client experience—complete with the freedom to choose clients who share her core values.
Throughout the conversation, Myrrha and Amanda discuss the importance of mentoring, accountability partners, and cultivating authentic connections for long-term business success. Amanda credits much of her journey to the support she’s received from her husband, children, and industry mentors who encouraged her to take risks, innovate, and truly hustle in pursuit of her dreams. Whether you’re in the relationship business or striving to grow your own venture, this feel-good episode underlines the power of passion, resilience, and the unwavering support of fellow women entrepreneurs.
