Justin and Bridget chatted about the topic of networking and dating- how the two scenarios share similarities and are also of course quite different. They shared both of their personal experiences with reaching out to professionals in their respective fields and the pros they have identified as a result of their experiences. Justin also shared an incredible idea for those single listeners out there attempting to differentiate themselves from your standard online dating profile. Justin and Bridget also mentioned an article he found (referenced below) discussing how some couples who's weddings had been canceled due to COVID-19 used their intended wedding money to pay a down payment on a house instead. All this and more on this week's edition of the Couples Develop podcast- check it out!

In this episode, Bridget and Justin talk about the topic, "You are what you eat" in regard to consuming different forms of media and also by listening to the thoughts and opinions of those around you. We focus on a quote by Jim Rohn as it relates to this topic, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
