This week Gina chats with Emily Smith, Founder, and CEO of our new favorite way to meet people: it's an app and it's called Chorus. But it's not just another dating app! The idea of the Chorus App is to tap back into the art of meeting people through friends and bringing accountability & humanity back to dating. "We miss the days when people met through friends.  So we built an app that brings accountability back to dating and makes it more human again."Chorus allows you to involve your BFFs in helping to create matches with whom they deem worthy and a good fit for you. Within the app, there's a feature called Dating Roulette which is essentially online speed dating which has singlehandedly injected humanity back into online dating.
