For the season 4 finale, David and Trenia step away from the workplace and organizational themes that anchored this season to have a more personal conversation. One about love, partnership, and what's going wrong between Black men and the people who want to love them. Women are opting out of relationships with men who can't meet them where they are, and a lot of men, even the ones with the right politics, can't figure out what they're missing.

David and Trenia discuss the emotional intelligence gap, the difference between a protector and a controller, and the asymmetry of effort that starts long before a date does. They also talk about why a six-pack and multiple properties don't mean you're ready for partnership, why younger women are increasingly choosing to be alone rather than settle, and whether coaching could actually help men who want to show up differently.
