In this episode of The Beyond Dating podcast, host Steph speaks with Brian about his journey to self-discovery and authenticity in dating. Brian shares that he has not had any specific role models in the past that have influenced his dating style, as he realized that it is impossible to truly know another person's relationship. Instead, he has focused on self-discovery and setting a vision for himself at different ages in the future.

Brian also delves into his idea of a modern relationship, which is about recognizing that love has many faces and our expectations of ourselves do not have to conform to societal norms. He encourages listeners to provide themselves with the freedom to be in love with more than one person, to have different types of love (romantic and platonic), and to not feel pressured to conform to society's expectations.

He also highlights that with access to people and cultures all over the world, we now have the freedom to look inward and find what truly drives us in relationships, and match that with what the world offers. Overall, this episode encourages listeners to break free from societal expectations and embrace self-discovery and authenticity in their dating lives.
