- This is the story of how Andra & Alex first met (after a failed job offer) and the discussions that ultimately led them to not only date but get into business together. Hear about how the couples serendipitous meeting at a co-living co-working house in San Francisco resulted in the couple moving in together after 3 days, which ultimately turned into 16 months of lockdown and a decision to join forces in business.

Alex and Andra are probably the most high-performing power couple I know, great content!
Okay, this is the nicest thing ever, goshhhh, miss you!!!
My sister and I were just talking about you how you guys are couple goals!
This is so insanely sweet 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥹
Really felt it when y’all talked about meeting someone who knew what Zapier was. I worked at Zapier for 5 years and very few people knew the product. One of the most exciting parts meeting my husband was that he knew Zapier 😂
Omg 😂😂😂 so you're saying that the best foundations are built atop Zapier! Even in relationships and marriage 😏 there NEEDS to be a dating app that uses Zapier to connect people (like literally in the foundation but also as the topic) 😂
How do you make sure your work quarrels do not seep into personal life?
At the end of the day, it all comes down to communication. Sometimes we have to put our business partner hats on instead of husband/wife, and understand that there's a difference between the two. BUT! We actually have an entire episode coming out soon that talks specifically about the challenges (and benefits!) of working together. That should be released October 3rd (Episode 3 - "What it like working with your spouse") 👀
Fantastic episode, can't wait for the next!
Appreciate your support Luis! We have a feeling you'll particularly enjoy Episode #2 😉 so incredibly excited to launch it!
"You wanted to see my Zapier account" - had me rolling. If this isn't meant to be, I don't know what is. So fascinating and enthralling, I love your brevity and balance with storytelling.
I busted out laughing so many times. You both are wonderful.
Omg these comments made our day 😂😂 yeah, I feel like it's such a specific niche that would understand the depths of the context of what happened here 😂😂😂😂🙏 appreciate you so much!
I'm so proud of you guys, excellent podcast - excellent story. I've heard the story so many times but I learned some new details today.
Its been awesome to see you both go through this journey together. I'm looking forward to the next episode!
This means a lot to hear as someone that has quite a high bar for RUclips and long-form (cough Destiny). You've also been right there alongside us! And we're both so proud of you as well, for shaking up life and forging your own exciting path by diving into the unknown. It's the path less traveled for sure!
Stoked to have you in Austin now with us (for anyone reading, yep! Bob did end up moving to Austin!!! 👏👏👏)
This was awesome, guys! Fantastic story and charisma telling it!
You've always been the most supportive person ever. Thank you for being our biggest fan 🫶 can't wait to see you when we're back in Austin!
Great episode and thrilled to see this launch!! Can't wait for the next
Awesome podcast - had me hooked from the start. Excited for the next episode.
I know this couple ❤ Alex and Andra are an absolute joy to hang out with! Enjoying this episode and cant wait for more!
This means a lot-still feel indebted to you with how amazingly you treated us last you visited Austin for the Zapier retreat! Can't wait for the next time we get to hang out again! ❤
Hilarious the act of Alex buying you a coffee was the signal 😆😆 You guys are the pinnacle of a power couple and its inspirational to see you both thrive together. Looking forward to the next one!
😂😂 what's funny is when I was in SF, I was using Hinge/Bumble/Tinder as essentially LinkedIn, trying to meet with cool women in tech, friendship, whatever, I was new to the city. So that line between work and relationship was already a bit blurred. I was in a funny headspace with that, but maybe that's why it worked and why Andra and I connected so well-I was more focused on meeting cool people, less worried about the actual dating piece of it, so I probably just acted more like myself each step of the way. But with that, I was probably acting a bit more professional and not as flirty as a result, which makes the normal signals to go off of less obvious 🤷♂️😅😂

Man you guys had alot of serendipity
Awe yes! 🎉 Have appreciation for it everyday 😊❤ Appreciate you for leaving us this comment & watching!
Such a delight to hear your story! Enjoyed the serendipitous moments and nerdiness with you😊 Thanks for sharing ❤
Means a lot that you listened! You've been so supportive and such a lively force at Zapier-glad we met 🤗🙏
Nice to see the full story guys!!! I'm still so happy looking back at the great times in the house in San Francisco. Keep going with the great stories 😄
The littles! 😂😂 genuinely have the fondest memories from that house. You're both so tied in to our earliest memories of meeting each other. Can't wait to see you again +1 👶 soon!
Loved listening to this podcast! What a power couple, this story is so incredible and I really love how they articulate the beginnings of this journey from
Both angles!! Onto episode 2 asap!
Eee thank you so much Georgia! ❤️❤️🤗🤗 Adore you and thank you for listening!!
Love the candid content! Staying tuned for more episodes :)
Thank you! Was so hoping it would be taken this way-we purposely had questions the other person didn't know so we couldn't fully prepare, so that we'd have to recollect the moment to have it come off natural and genuine 🤗🤗
Fun, inspiring and candid! Love it :)
Awe, calling it candid is such a huge compliment-this means a lot 🤗
OMG - what a fun ride you've had together. I had no idea! Thanks for telling your story and sharing it with us. There are some parallels with my life there 🤓 and it's good to not be alone in some of the ways I've made some decisions super quickly. Can't wait for the next episode! Sidenote, I am also going to look into Divvy - I didn't know how useful it could be. Thanks for sharing that story as well.
Gosh sorry we missed this comment until now! So much appreciate you watching and would be curious what some of the parallels are. Divvy has definitely been amazing, if you have any questions about it definitely let us know! 👏
