#959: Join us as we sit down with Whitney Wolfe Herd – Founder & CEO, Bumble Inc., a women-first relationship platform committed to fostering healthy relationships across dating, friendship, and community. Whitney launched Bumble to challenge outdated norms in dating and empower women to make the first move, making history as the youngest woman to take a company public in the US. In this episode, Whitney pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a category-defining company – from the relentless hustle and high-stakes pressure to navigating entrepreneurial burnout and redefining success on her own terms. She shares the wellness rituals that keep her grounded, how motherhood transformed her leadership, and what it really takes to build something impactful. Plus, she dives into the future of modern dating – and how Bumble is leveraging AI to create more intentional and meaningful human connections.
