Summary

Falling for someone is easy. But building something that actually lasts? That takes a whole different skill set.

In part two of this series, Justin and Abi are joined by Bryant Ellis, the owner and CEO of The Adventure Challenge to take a plunge into what really matters after the first few dates. They explore the difference between red flags and nervous system triggers, how to recognize someone’s true character over time, and why curiosity is more important than snap judgment.

They also unpack why so many people lose attraction in long-term relationships, the key mindset shifts that help relationships stay connected and alive, and how to navigate major differences in beliefs and values.

If you’ve ever wondered how to spark love and keep the flame burning bright, this episode is just right for you!
