Play Date – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

If you’re single and you have a dog, you’ll know that you can never get serious about dating someone who doesn’t like your dog. Or worse, doesn’t like dogs in general. 

That self-selection of single dog people is the premise behind a dating app called Dig. Yes, it’s a dating app for dog lovers looking to find human love. Dig was founded right here, in New Orleans.

Tania Hahn is the owner of Hahn Enterprises.

If you go to the gym, or a sports stadium, or take your kids to a playground, everything you see – from workout machines at the gym, bleachers at the stadium, and monkey bars at the playground – had to come from somewhere. In New Orleans that somewhere is often Hahn Enterprises.

Tania and Leigh make the case for putting down your phone, getting oustide, and moving! And if you’re wondering if they lead by example: Tania plays rugby and Leigh flies her own plane!
