Ken joins me today to discuss the intricacies involved in forming quality, long-term relationships.

He also explains the importance of conversation and understanding as well as why we shouldn’t be afraid to talk about sensitive topics.

 

 

“A relationship is when two people like what it feels like to be connected to each other and make a mutual decision to have that be an ongoing thing.” - Ken Blackman
