Brandon shares his story of how his marriage to the love of his life ended in divorce.

Brandon shares how he has since moved halfway across the country and started a new job while navigating the complexities of modern dating. Tune in for a conversation where we explore relationship dynamics and discuss the importance of self-awareness and patience.
