Dating is a mess right now. Let’s just say it.

In this episode, we sit down with Josie from The Everygirl to unpack what’s actually going on in modern dating — from situationships and ghosting to the rise of “exclusive" but not a relationship.

We also debate:

• Who should make the first move (and who should pay)

• Why “going Dutch” can be a dealbreaker

• The psychology behind ghosting

• The difference between dating, exclusivity, and being in a relationship

• The “taxi cab theory” and why timing matters more than love

Plus, real dating horror stories (including 39 missed calls… yes, really) and the mindset shift that makes dating way less miserable.

If you’ve ever thought, “why is this so hard?” — you’re not alone. Let’s get into it.

Welcome back to GlowJob’s Culture Debrief — your weekly breakdown of the biggest stories shaping business, culture, and everything in between.

This week, we break down Justin Timberlake’s viral DUI footage, the Bachelorette’s $30M casting disaster with Taylor Frankie Paul, and why Alix Earle’s skincare launch is already facing backlash.

We also dive into Stanford’s disability loophole, OpenAI shelving its “adult mode” chatbot, Shein’s lawsuit over toxic chemicals in children’s clothing, and Meta’s $73 billion metaverse collapse.

If you want to understand what’s actually driving headlines — and what it means beneath the surface — this is your cheat sheet.

In today's GlowJob deep dive, Sarah Gibson Tuttle, founder of Olive & June, breaks down how she built one of the fastest-growing beauty brands—and sold it for $240 million.

We cover the full journey: from a decade in finance to launching a nail salon, nearly quitting on day three, and ultimately scaling a category-defining brand from $2M to $125M in revenue.

This episode goes deep on:

• Why the nail category was overlooked by major beauty conglomerates
• How Olive & June reimagined products for the consumer (not the manicurist)
• The operational realities of building a physical + product business
• The acquisition process, including receiving 12 bids and rejecting higher offers
• Life after a nine-figure exit and what actually changes

We also get into dating, money, and what success actually looks like after “making it.” If you’re building a business—or thinking about it—this is a must-listen.
