Bridger Pennington compares dating to finding business partners: the best way to attract quality people is to become one yourself. He calls it "sharpening the axe," meaning personal development comes first. Skip the shortcuts and invest in becoming someone others actually want to work with.

The easiest way to date a 9 or a 10 is to be a 9 or a 10. Now, sometimes people that are a 6 date a 10 and we make movies about them and we put Adam Sandler as the star, right? We make movies because it's so rare. The easiest way to find partners, people, is to also be someone that they want to partner with. And so how do you do that? Well, you sharpen the axe, right? You make yourself better. You come to stuff, you build yourself into a person who people want to partner with.
