Does anyone remember dating before the apps? As a 90s kid, I can and I also remember hearing ads for "It's Just Lunch," an innovative dating service with Matchmakers. On this episode, I talked to the founder, Andrea McGinty and got to hear about her evolvement as she continues to help people find love. In fact, she has set up over 33,000 couples herself and launched  33000Dates.com along with Score, which ensures financial stability within the couples she matches. Andrea has been featured on prominent platforms such as Oprah, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, People, the Today Show, and this week she joins us on the LifeLong Learner's Collective to talk about the dating scene for metro millenials. Coupled friends, I suggest you give this a listen as well to better understand your single friends and what they are having to navigate. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/betterself/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/betterself/support
