I hope you enjoy this conversation with my guest Margo Starbuck.

0:13.3

She has just written a book called The Grown Woman's Guide to Online Dating.

0:17.6

Now, before you guys all check out here, and let me let you know that her book

0:21.9

might be written for women, but this conversation is going to be helpful to anyone who's trying
