Shownotes

In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, we sit down with Stephanie Small, Head of Community at Date Night, a virtual speed dating platform reimagining how people connect in a swipe-fatigued world.

We explore how Date Night is creating real, face-to-face connections through virtual speed dating, why this model resonates with the Vegan community, and how their ongoing partnership with PETA adds a powerful give-back component that supports animals in need.

From meeting up to seven people in one hour to removing the pressure, ghosting, and guesswork of traditional dating apps, this conversation dives into how values-based dating can be efficient, meaningful, and community-driven.

If you are Vegan and tired of navigating dating spaces that do not align with your lifestyle or ethics, this episode offers a refreshing look at how connection, compassion, and intention can come together.

Learn how Vegan speed dating works, why it is gaining momentum across the U.S. and Canada, and where to find upcoming events.
