What up homies! Can I tell you how excited I am to have Devon Franklin joining us again for another powerful conversation? Whether you’re dating, divorced or happily single, we’re diving into the love lessons you wish you knew sooner to build a long-lasting relationship. None of us wants to waste time, energy, and effort on the wrong person. 

But the spoiler is that this is more about you than the partner you choose to date.

Devon is a preacher, success coach, and award winning film and tv producer who’s back on the dating scene after a recent divorce. This conversation is about empowering you to prioritize yourself in order to create the healthy loving relationships you deserve.

We kick-start part one of this two-part episode diving into:


Why compatibility and love mean nothing when your core beliefs are not aligned.

We talk about the danger of compromised values that will break down any relationship,

And, we get into why longing for love makes you a greater risk (it’s the dating trap you have to be be careful to avoid)

Devon delivers ideas and insights about dating that will improve your ability to date well and navigate potential partners because you learned to selfishly focus on you first!
Today’s episode is about being empowered and mindful of never compromising yourself or your core beliefs for the sake of inauthentic love.

Devon Franklin Quotes:
“A lot of times, we have this belief that love is enough, and I don’t believe that it is, [...] love is not enough to overcome differences in core beliefs.”

“Pain brings a lot of clarity if we choose to accept it.”

“You’re one of one, this is about you. This is about who you are, what type of life you want and the love that you want to have in yourself first.”

“If I can be content all by myself, within myself, it really doesn’t even matter if I’m in a relationship.”

“If I do not believe the best about myself, I won’t choose the best for myself.”

“Live in the belief that the best is available to you, all you have to do is wait for it.”

“People mistake commitment for control.”
