Description

 My guest today is Shahzad Younas, who is the founder of Muzz, which you would absolutely know about if you are a Muslim - you would know nothing about if you are not - it is the world’s largest Muslim dating site - if dating is the right word to use. He used to be an investment banker and then realised this is not what he wanted to do with this life, and what a journey! If you know the story of how business works in the background for some of those things you end up having in your hand, it would blow you away. So excited to have a conversation about, not only how he ended up here but why he ended up here, and you know, how different some of our cultures are when it comes to love, dating and romance. Shahzad Younas (London, UK) is the founder and CEO of Muzz (formerly muzmatch). Previously a Vice President in Equity Portfolio Trading at investment bank Morgan Stanley for 9 years, Shahzad quit his career to fully focus on building a high-quality mobile app to help Muslims around the world find their perfect marriage partner.Backed with a total of $9M investment (Seed and Series A) from a range of Silicon Valley and global investors, headquartered in Aldgate, London, and boasting a fast-growing 65+ strong global team, Muzz (formerly muzmatch) is transforming how Muslims meet and marry.Listen as we discuss: 02:00 - Muslims don’t date they marry! 06:30 - The gamification of dating apps 09:30 - Finding Love 16:00 - The process of choice 19:00 - Sex education 21:30 - Where’s the romance? 25:30 - Looking for the one 27:30 - What does the science say? 31:30 - When things go wrong 35:00 - Leave her in kindness 36:00 - Treat others as you want to be treated 38:30 - Ethics 40:30 - Do dating app works? 47:00 - AI 49:30 - Solve it for women 56:00 - Working from home 59:00 - Good boys win 01:07:00 - The mechanics of it 01:11:30 - Honestly 01:13:00 - Ghosting Connect with Shahzad Younas on LinkedIn and learn more about his work here.YouTube: @mogawdatofficialInstagram: @mo_gawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatWebsite: mogawdat.comDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Saturday.
