Dustin and his girlfriend, Brenna went from being friends, to more than friends, to long-distance, to roommates. Now, after 9 years, they are about to get engaged – Brenna just doesn't know it yet.
Mike on the other hand, has been trying to navigate through the rough waters of dating apps with no success. His solution: to find "the one" without one.
Join these young romantics as they discuss their philosophies on love and relationships, all while planning the engagement of a lifetime.

You gotta hold on tight when you find it (feat. Brenna Ferney)
Before listening to this episode, make sure you watch the video of the engagement on YouTube (https://youtu.be/_VSj9UgABqs).
You’ve heard all about her, but now you literally get to hear, well, her. Brenna joins Dustin and Mike on the podcast! They talk about Brenna's reaction to the day, how some things didn’t go as planned, and what everyone has learned since the beginning of this podcast.
We hope the learning didn’t stop at us, and that you were able to learn something about your relationships or yourself through us sharing our story.
Thank you for joining us on this wild ride.

Spread the love (feat. Gary Vaynerchuk)
Dustin sits down with Gary Vaynerchuk, aka GaryVee, to get his assistance with the engagement. Gary is an entrepreneur, New York Times best selling author, internet personality, and the list goes on and on. Like all wise men, Gary helps more with his words than his actions. Dustin and Gary talk about advice for young couples and the current state of dating. Will Gary’s expertise in business relationships help Dustin with his romantic relationship?

Tying up loose ends (feat. Zack Yu)
Dustin is organizing the final pieces of the proposal, like preparing everyone for the scavenger hunt, organizing a congratulations video for Brenna, and let’s not forget, he still doesn’t have the ring. At this point, Mike is convinced a Ring Pop might be Dustin’s best option.
Zack, Dustin’s coworker and friend joins the podcast. They talk about everyone’s favorite topic, finances. Boy, this is going to be a fun episode!
Zack also found an unconventional way to turn a popular service into a dating app. Maybe his trick can help find you a treat?

Get my boat dot com (feat. Nick Aversano)
Lake George is a wonderful place, filled with wonderful people. However, those people can be difficult to get a hold of, which complicates things when you’re trying to plan a proposal. Fortunately, Dustin is able to harness the power of the internet in the nick of time. Speaking about Nick, he came back from the first episode to help Mike and Dustin discuss their best dates. Spoiler alert: the dates have nothing to do with boats.

This is planned out to a T
What’s a proposal without a plan? A question. What’s a proposal with a plan? The event of a lifetime. Dustin starts dropping details for the scavenger hunt. He’s talking locations, people, backstory, it’s all there – well, at least most of it.

I guess let's talk about this proposal
Now that the origin story is out of the way, we can finally discuss what we're all here for – the proposal. Dustin has a few ideas for the engagement but one stands out above the rest. The only thing left to do is plan the entire thing. Meanwhile, Mike’s first serious relationship is getting, well, serious. You can say that him and his girlfriend share a bond like no other.

Customer Reviews
Incredible
This is amazing! So happy for you both and can’t wait to listen to how the proposal goes down! Xoxo
Great idea and great hosts!
Love this idea and excited to watch the story unfold. I’m rooting for Mike to find true love!
Come for the Laughs, Stay for the Advice
Few podcasts hit a high standard right out of the box. The first episode is well-edited, flows like water, and features a cast of characters with beautiful rapport.
Most of all, it’s entertainment with value. Between all the wonderful humor are nuggets of wisdom on true relationships. Maybe it’ll even help me find love.
I will follow this podcast’s career with great interest!
