That 30s Show

Get ready for a deep dive into the fascinating realm of dating in your 30s! This week, Ge and David explore the myriad of differences between dating in your 20s vs. 30s and the ever changing landscape of dating in the modern world. From awkward pickup lines to crafting the perfect bio, we explore how technology has transformed the way people connect and form relationships. We also tackle the unspoken questions and situations that often go unnoticed. What is an appropriate amount of time to be talking before going on a date? Who should pay for the first date? Whether you're navigating the dating scene yourself or simply curious about the experiences of others, we hope this episode brings thoughtful insight and relatable experiences for all.

Ah, the side hustle. That thing many of us want to do in our 30s after we're done our 9-5s, our groceries, cooking, laundry, workouts, kids... nah, who has the time?! And even if we do, how do we cultivate the fortitude to face the inevitable failures that come with pursuing our dreams? This week, we talk to Kim Van (@heykimletseat), who has miraculously managed to find a healthy and joyful balance between her full-time job and her side hustle as a TikTok food influencer! Kim talks about taking full responsibility for her choices and priorities--a mindset that is her secret to 'time management'. She also talks about how her parents raised her with the belief that she can do anything... so long as she works hard and earns it. This is a conversation we guarantee will leave you feeling inspired and motivated to finally go do that thing you've been wanting to do.

This week, Ge and David are back with another thought-provoking episode on the topic of current events. From global conflicts to local happenings, the topics we turn our attention to are seemingly becoming an ethical dilemma. How can individuals navigate the terrain of current events, and the vital balance between staying informed and safeguarding our mental and emotional capacity? How has our focus on current events shifted from our 20s to our 30s? Why do we put pressure on celebrities to take a stance on every subject? With a vast array of events demanding our attention, we dive into a nuanced exploration of our roles as informed individuals in an ever-evolving world.

Note: We've opted for audio-only this week to allow us to edit it faster and get the episode up on time.
