In Episode 2, the tables are turned as Dave puts co-host Dani in the hot seat to answer the ultimate question: Who the hell is Dani?

From turning a family separation as the catalyst to pitch a rustic, life-changing backpacking trip to Costa Rica, to buying a van and spending four solo years traveling across the country with her dog, Dani opens up about the realities of stepping out of the conventional blueprint. We dive deep into the myth of toxic independence, the transition from full-time van life back into a Denver apartment, and why a box of Kraft Mac and cheese was the ultimate late-night road meal.
