Your Last First Date: Author & Hollywood Matchmaker Jaydi Samuels Kuba

Your Last First Date: Author & Hollywood Matchmaker Jaydi Samuels Kuba This week’s episode of Shot At Love pulls back the curtain on Hollywood’s most fascinating matchmaking secrets with Jaydi Samuels Kuba. Inspired by her soon-to-be-released book Your Last First Date, Jaydi shares the patterns, mindsets, blind spots, and tiny shifts that help singles finally find their own Hollywood ending. Jaydi began her career as a television writer with credits ranging from Family Guy to Salem. But after watching talented, successful women in the entertainment industry struggle to form meaningful relationships, she built a couples-curation service that grew into LJ Matchmaking. Today she is a certified dating and relationship coach, a co-host of the podcast Match Made in Hollywood, and one of the industry’s most respected matchmakers. Kerry and Jaydi explore the truth behind finding love in Hollywood or anywhere else: why people stay stuck, how they repeat emotional patterns, and what finally creates lasting change. Jaydi opens up about the early days of her company, the unlikely way she met her husband while setting him up with other women, and the inner shifts that helped her leave a long-term relationship that no longer aligned with her life. Together, they break down why matchmaking matters, why being “findable” is non-negotiable, and how small mindset adjustments can make all the difference. Jaydi shares how she vets clients, screens for compatibility, and guides people toward clarity before chemistry. She explains why great daters still end up in the wrong relationships, how date coaching transforms confidence, and why trusting your own intuition is ultimately your most powerful tool. Jaydi also gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at writing Your Last First Date: how her Hollywood storytelling background shaped the narrative, why she chose to teach through character journeys and real client case studies, and what she hopes readers will take away after they close the final page. If you’ve ever wondered how matchmaking really works, what goes on behind the scenes, or how to stop repeating the same dating patterns, this conversation will shift the way you see yourself, your choices, and your path to love.
