Episode description

Today's Hot Topic delves into the fascinating world of professional matchmaking! We're joined by 4th generation matchmaker Maria Avgitidis—aka the famed "Matchmaker Maria". Maria is the founder and CEO of award-winning Agape Match, the exclusive NYC-based matchmaking service with a whopping 93% success rate. Ever wonder what a matchmaker would give you as "homework", what demographic makes the hardest client to match, what it costs to hire a matchmaker, or what tops men's and women's lists of desires? Maria pulls back the curtain on this generations-old industry and we promise you'll leave, as Shandy puts it, "enlightened"!
