Our next GDI Podcast episode is live! This week, host Mark Brooks, CEO of Courtland Brooks, speaks with Candice Gallagher, founder of Single Pour and 30 Girls Club, about how dating culture is evolving for people in their 30s and 40s. 

Candice shares her journey from creating dating content in Singapore to launching sold-out matchmaking and social events that blend online tools with real-world connection. 

She explores the emotional realities of modern dating, the rise of activity-based events, and key cultural differences between dating in Singapore and London. The conversation also looks ahead to where dating is heading, highlighting growing fatigue with apps, the demand for more meaningful connection, and new opportunities for curation, community, and discovery in the dating ecosystem.
