Stephanie and I discuss common dating misconceptions, struggles, and traps from an individual point of view, understanding our values and intentions before meeting new people, the difference between choosing and being chosen, and the importance of small talk.

This was engaging, adventurous, and deep. I pushed publically vulnerable limits and Stephanie brought the house down.

If you listened to this podcast and are up for it, I'd truly appreciate a review & any feedback on Apple Podcasts. At a minimum, it is a chance for me to connect with you, at a medium, your feedback could convince just the right person to give Good Explanations a listen (or avoid it), and at a maximum, it can help influence the future, harder-to-get guests to join us for a discussion on Life.
