Dating's weird, isn't it? In this episode we're joined by the wonderful Kate Willett (@katewillett on Twitter) to explore the wild uncertainties of dating and the financial windfall available to those with the foresight to monetize it with a gimmick. Specifically we give an overview of the life and times of Bumble's Whitney Wolfe Herd and learn how she made her billion dollar fortune through shady Russian start up money, hostile work environments, offshore tax avoidance shell corporations, and most important of all, an app that puts women first.
