Today, we’re diving into the real story of how we met (spoiler: he slid into the DMs 👀), how our first date went down, and the moment we realized that if we wanted to be a couple—we had to do long distance.

In this episode, Haskiri and Nate share the true story of how it all started—and why vulnerability mattered more than money.

From a bold DM in 2015, to a FaceTime call that almost didn’t happen, to a broke - but - authentic first dinner and an awkward car door moment—this one’s all about showing up as your real self.

You’ll learn:

• How we went from strangers to a young couple
• Why courage and authenticity are essential in a relationship
• The secret to building trust from the start
• What we honestly thought about doing long distance
