They say the past is in the past....but should it be? Sometimes reflecting back on our past relationships is exactly how we get to where we want to go. We're going deep with comedian Des Bishop about how his relationships with others (and the one with himself) got him to the place to be with now-wife and fellow comedian Hannah Berner. We discuss how our priorities ebb and flow throughout the years, why dating to "do life" with each other is a better approach, and the balance of being ready and luck when meeting the right person.
