Episode Overview

Today I sit down with NYC real‑estate icon Laurie Cooper—founder of G. Laurie Cooper, Inc.—to distill decades of no‑nonsense dating and relationship wisdom for the app‑weary generation. Laurie shows why true connections happen off‑screen—get out, be secure, move on if he’s not into you, and never hand over your power too soon—while reminding us that friendship, shared rituals, and “never going to bed angry” are the pillars of lasting love. Whether you’re swiping endlessly or feeling stuck, Laurie’s timeless rules will have you rethinking how to meet, love, and thrive in the city that never sleeps.
