From the I Wish You Knew Podcast, Adam Smith and Andrey Korikov break down why modern relationships are struggling—and what we can do to fix them. From the neuroscience behind attachment to the biology of bonding (yes, men and women really do connect differently), we explore how stress, sex, and communication shape connection.

We break down why conflict isn’t something to avoid—but the key to building trust. Plus, why the divorce rate is falling not because relationships are thriving, but because younger generations have stopped marrying altogether. Most people don’t know what a healthy relationship looks like—let alone how to be a partner.

Adam shares his CEO–COO model: a high-functioning partnership framework rooted in shared purpose, executive-level communication, and teamwork. We also discuss actionable strategies to connect with avoidant partners, communicate clearly, and rebuild the lost relational skills our culture has forgotten.
