Bien is an artist even in how he expresses himself when he speaks!That analogy 🔥🔥 This season will be even more liiit for real!

[@ManTalkKe]

More in store!

[@kimanijw7388]

Bien approaches his interviews with such depth 💯 From CTA, to this to the many others that I have watched 🤗 The context and vulnerability come through flawlessly. I appreciate that. Also, I love the way he has evangelized the importance of finding a life coach- a worthwhile investment from the growth he has exhibited through time 💰Onwards and upwards Alusa!

[@judyngereso]

The car analogy is the total summary of what marriage is all about..Like it🔥🔥🔥🔥

Loved watching every minute of this..the conversations, the deliberate well thought out questions, biens wisdom. At some point I even cried when he talked about how his mum was held back from achieving her full potential. So profound. Eli and Oscar,keep doing what y'all are doing and stay winning :-)

[@joanwangari]

I think self-love should be taught more and from a very young age. It could be the solution to many ills in the society since self love has an impact on all aspects of our lives. Also I love how man talk conversations are relatable to everyone 👏👏

[@sheilaajjie]

Loved it. And learnt so much about self love and love for other people. I feel like I need to take a step back and reevaluate a lot of things.

[@cherotichtapsabei9623]

[@wairimukaruga8364]

The famous line "Why should we pay rent for two separate places?" 😂

A CLASSIC!

[@gedaliahodoyo7999]

What I hear Bein say is Your partner should bring Value to you.

[@wangarijskamau]

[@drew-jy8nk]

Good job,,,question to Eli How do you manage to be so outspoken yet you identify as an introverts?

[@paemarkdesigners3220]

Artists & creatives, it's like herding cats. It can be difficult.

[@leenodero2461]

[@DorisWanjiku]

Looks like I need to start from s1e1...

[@ManTalkKe]

[@gracagitehi8691]

[@chocolateblaqqueen]

❣❣❣

[@big_brayo]

Get to the Bien part hommies. Damn 😐

[@Njesh.G]

Eiii Oscar!! For they forgot about God so God made them forget about themselves ...deeep

[@kayitesidenise2711]

🧡🇷🇼

[@jessicaboisabi7905]

But you know what, bien and his wife have an open marriage because as he said will smith and jada show him what love is. Which I hope people won’t listen to him on this and this is where Eli and Oscar should challenge this way of thinking how can true love be expressed in an open marriage doesn’t an open marriage in itself pose a threat to the true identity of marriage and what marriage In itself stands for ?
