On today’s show I had an engaging conversation with Bo Turner, the founder of FIND.
Bo's company facilitates in-person social and dating experiences in Indianapolis and beyond, countering swipe fatigue with genuine human connections.
Our discussion dives into Bo's entrepreneurial journey, including her early ventures like a marketing agency and a food truck park, and how these experiences shaped FIND Indianapolis for modern speed dating and FIND Fun Indianapolis for fun social events with friends.
We explore the importance of community and the rising trend of prioritizing atmosphere and experience in social settings. She also shares her insights on expanding FIND to other cities and the joy of connecting people in meaningful ways through speed dating, friend socials, and creative in-person events.
