You can have the career, the independence, the confidence, the whole “I’ve got this” thing going for you… and still find yourself wondering what the hell you’re doing in dating, work, or life.
That’s part of what I loved about this conversation with Bri McNees.
Bri takes us behind the scenes of how a completely organic casting connection took her from corporate retail in Columbus, Ohio, to Love Is Blind — and why she’s built a life around being willing to say yes when the right door opens, even when it scares the shit out of her a little.
And yes, we get into the stuff you actually want to know.
Dating with the intention of finding a husband. What the Columbus dating scene is really like when you know what you want. Watching yourself back on reality television and realizing that, edit or not… yep, that’s still you. Bri also opens up about what really happened with Connor, why vague breakup explanations can send the internet into a full-blown spiral, and what their first major conflict taught her about whether a relationship can actually hold up when things get hard.
But this conversation goes way beyond Love Is Blind.
We talk about faith, anxiety, identity, becoming more comfortable with who you are, and that slightly terrifying adult realization that none of us — including our parents — actually have this whole life thing figured out.
Then we get into Bri’s next chapter: leaving corporate America, content creation, and entrepreneurship. We talk TikTok, Instagram shopping, being selective about whose advice you take, Gary Vee, staying authentic while building a platform, and what it actually looks like to bet on yourself.
And because apparently the episode needed one more character, we call Bri’s dad, G-Man, live on the show — and he casually drops some of the best advice of the entire conversation about rejection, naysayers, and the difference between talking about the dream and actually going after it.
If you’re in a season of reinvention, starting over, dating differently, building something new, or standing in front of a door you’re a little scared to walk through, this one’s for you.
