Online Dating Chat from Legal Powerhouse turned Love Guru, Katya Chernyak
Today we launch Episode 2 of Season one to chat with Katya about radical authenticity, owning where you come from to create a strong platform for meaningful relationships.
Episode 2 of Season 1, we have the honor of chatting with Katya Chernyak - the legal powerhouse turned love guru who's shaking up the dating game. As the co-founder and CEO of FFWD (Fast-Forward) Dating, Katya is on a mission to revolutionize the way relationship-minded singles pick their romantic prospects online.
But how did she get here? Well, after years of working as a corporate attorney, Katya decided to take a sabbatical and focus on her personal life. She turned to dating apps to help her find her match, but had a big “aha” moment: that the experience was far from efficient - relying on static photos meant she often misjudged bad prospects as good, and missed out on great ones who didn't quite translate onto the screen.
Not one to be deterred, Katya decided to take matters into her own hands. And so, FFWD Dating was born. By replacing photos with unedited, unfiltered video profiles, Katya has eliminated the chance of mismatched expectations and catfishing - for good. So if you're tired of swiping through endless profiles, only to be disappointed by the reality of your matches, Katya and FFWD Dating have got your back.
