"  Julia Allison is a journalist, entrepreneur, public speaker, social media addict, and ostensible &amp;quot;relationship expert.&amp;quot; In other words, she owns more self-help books than you. Formerly a nationally syndicated technology and social media columnist, Allison has published dating columns for AM New York, Time Out New York, and Cosmopolitan and has written for Newsweek, The Chicago Tribune, New York magazine, Men&amp;#039;s Health, The Huffington Post, Seventeen, and The New York Post, among others. She has also made appearances as a commentator, expert and host on NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, VH1, and MTV. Allison co-founded and ran a tech/media business for three years, regularly serves as an advisor to Silicon Valley start-ups, and has spoken at MIT, Wharton, Harvard, and at conferences around the world on new media, personal branding, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, she graduated from Georgetown University, lived in New York for six years, then headed back to Chicago for a year of eating deep dish pizza before she moved to L.A., where she is probably as you read stuck in traffic. Her father is still waiting for her to get a &amp;quot;real job&amp;quot; with health insurance. You can find her on Twitter and on Facebook. Catch her on BRAVO&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Miss Advised&amp;quot; every Monday at 10pm! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
