Welcome What Say You with Dan and Sam where we talk about anything and everything under the sun as a couple. Based in Singapore, we talk about relationships, business, life or anything. So grab a kopi and come chill!

The things we share on this episode are our own opinions and experiences. We share how our personal journeys have shaped our views on the subject. If you are struggling with any of the issues we talk about, we hope you have the support that you need around you. Remember! You are not alone.
*Trigger warning ahead.
