In this Love U Podcast, I talk with Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google and author of Solve for Happy. We dig into why endless choice creates confusion and how most daters misunderstand their own patterns. Mo shares his personal journey through marriage, loss, midlife dating, and a recent separation, and explains how those experiences inspired Emma.love, his new AI project built to help people understand themselves before choosing a partner.
