    TrueSpark AI Founder Tyler Johnson on Dating Apps, Male Loneliness, and Real Human Connection

    Dating apps promised connection—but for many people, they’ve delivered the opposite. In this episode of The Leverett Ball Show, Leverett Ball sits down with TrueSpark AI founder Tyler Johnson to break down why modern dating feels broken and how AI might actually help bring real, in-person human connection back. Tyler explains the inspiration behind TrueSpark AI, an app designed to help people start natural, situational conversations in real life—without cheesy pickup lines or awkward approaches. The conversation dives into the male loneliness epidemic, the psychological toll of dating apps, why Gen Z struggles with real-world social skills, and how simple, human questions can completely change dating outcomes. Tyler also shares his journey from Division I soccer player at Boston University to Emmy-winning content creator and tech entrepreneur, plus the mindset shifts that pushed him toward building his own company. This episode explores dating, technology, masculinity, confidence, entrepreneurship, and why meaningful relationships still start face-to-face. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
