From life experience as a millenial, single (now married) dude, JJ Tomlin knows what the digital age of post-COVID dating entails; ghosting, long-distance, virtual everything, friendationships - whatever it is, JJ loves going there with a scripture-based, wisdom-filled way of dating that is always realistic, practical and guaranteed to set our single men up for SUCCESS.

It was just 10 years ago, Jamal and Natasha were both single and praying to God over their
future spouses. After meeting on Facebook as complete strangers, their digital love story took
the world by storm. Clearly recognizing the need for transformational content in the area of
relationships, God gave them an idea for a brand.
And together, they founded Miller Media Group, Inc., now the parent company to multiple
digital brands all driven by one focus to help believers transform from the inside out.
They have since been featured in Forbes, BET, JET magazine, and have been LIVE guests on
CBN segment sharing their rags to riches story with the world. With the support of a dedicated
team, they reach more than 1 million people a year through their various social media channels.
When they aren’t running their company, their time is spent with each other and their 3
beautiful girls, Harvest, Melodie, and Justice.

From working in public relations, to driving and testing autonomous vehicles, to working as a School of Dating coach with Heart of Dating, Jeff DeBaldo has learned to truly embrace HOD’s mantra of “expect the unexpected.” Since finding out about the HOD podcast more than three years ago, he has allowed God to grow his passion for HOD’s mission to empower both men and women to have the courage to own their story, walk in victory, thrive with purpose, and discover clarity and vision in their life and relationships. DeBaldo found true freedom from his story of divorce and being a single father when he reprioritized his relationship with Jesus Christ and learned to not shy away from his story and the beauty he has experienced from those ashes. He is a champion of everyone, specifically men, owning their story and realizing that one bad chapter does not define themselves.
