Dante, owner of Red Bottom Productions, shares his fascinating pivot from executive protection services to adult film production in this candid conversation.After selling his business and achieving financial independence, Dante discovered that early retirement wasn't the paradise he expected—social isolation and restlessness led him down an unexpected path. What began as helping friends film OnlyFans content evolved into running his own entertainment company covering various genres and fetishes.Beyond the business journey, Dante opens up about challenging societal taboos around sexuality, the professional standards and extensive consent processes in adult entertainment, and how his industry mirrors Hollywood's casting and production methods. He addresses common misconceptions about performer autonomy and the stark difference between fantasy entertainment and real intimacy.The conversation also explores his current lifestyle philosophy of prioritizing travel and experiences over traditional work structures, especially after a health scare that reinforced the importance of creating memories while healthy. From budgeting tips to breaking down stigmas, this episode offers a surprisingly thoughtful perspective on entrepreneurship, personal freedom, and redefining success.Topics:Introduction to Red Bottom ProductionsMaking Sacrifices to Afford ThingsBreaking Stigmas Around Adult EntertainmentAdult Industry Workers Are Regular PeopleAdult Industry: Choice, Investment, and RealityFilming Preferences vs Fan ReactionsSupporting Talent and Building Community Fifty Shades Changed EverythingIndustry Testing and Safety StandardsKnowing Your Status and Industry AcceptanceFinding Red Bottom Productions OnlineCan't Watch My Own WorkKey Takeaways: • **Financial freedom alone doesn't solve social isolation** - Despite achieving early retirement at 33 through a successful business sale, Dante discovered that having money didn't address his underlying feelings of boredom and social disconnection.• **Adult entertainment production involves extensive professional protocols** - The industry operates with rigorous consent processes and professional standards comparable to mainstream Hollywood productions, contradicting common assumptions about it being informal or exploitative.• **Career pivots can emerge from unexpected opportunities** - Dante's transition from executive protection services to adult entertainment began simply by helping friends film content, demonstrating how major career changes can evolve organically from casual favor Support the showExclusives https://www.buzzsprout.com/1599808/subscribeNewsletters https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillowhttps://linktr.ee/RuanWillow Affiliates Firm Tech 15% OFF with code ruan15 https://myfirmtech.com/ruanwillow BeeDee dating app https://beedee.app/?r=ohfuckyeahThe Fantasy Box DATE30 for $30 OFF 1st box https://thefantasybox.sjv.io/c/6250602/2141126/26423

There is NO excerpt in the YouTube version, please visit podcast apps to get the excerpt. The excerpt is from "Whispers, Whiskers, and Wine" and is at the first part of this episode.Romance Author Imogen Knowed Reveals the Secrets Behind Writing Polyamorous "Why Choose" Stories.Ever wondered how authors craft realistic polyamorous romance without relying on supernatural shortcuts? Romance author Imogen Knowed pulls back the curtain on her unique approach to "why choose" stories and shifter romances, explaining why she ditched the fated-mate trope for something far more complex.In this candid conversation with host Ruan Willow, Imogen discusses her latest works including **Whispers, Whiskers and Wine** and the upcoming **Dates and Dead Bodies**—a cozy murder mystery that blends polyamorous romance with small-town intrigue. She opens up about the challenges of marketing "spicy" romance when platforms suppress erotic content, the wildly subjective nature of heat ratings, and her meticulous research into polyamory to create authentic relationship dynamics.From her recursive drafting process to using a "naughty words" thesaurus, Imogen shares the nitty-gritty details of crafting explicit scenes while balancing entertainment with subtle education. She explores the evolution of cozy romance toward more explicit content and debates whether fiction should teach readers about anatomy and consent—or simply provide escapist entertainment.**Ready to dive into the world of authentic polyamorous romance?** Listen to discover how one author is reshaping the genre with realistic characters, thoughtful consent, and unapologetically explicit storytelling.Key Takeaways:• Erotic romance faces significant marketing barriers—heat ratings and content warnings can severely limit discoverability.  • She pairs a cozy, “sweet‑and‑spicy” vibe with explicit group sex and polyamory, doing detailed research to portray realistic consent.  • Imogen only started writing impulsively in 2022, drafts as a hybrid plotter‑pantser, and has had to accept she can't please everyone.Connect with indie author Imogen Knowed: Instagram and Threads ImongenknowedBooks: Whispers, Whiskers, and Wine (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/4okmDhnDates and Dead Bodies (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/4nIAOwuPodcast Host Ruan Willow's latest book release:John Gives His Wife Hot Adventures, Book 2 in the Servicing the Work Men Series https://books.ruanwillowauthor.com/johngiveshiswifehotadventures Support the showExclusives https://www.buzzsprout.com/1599808/subscribeNewsletters https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillowhttps://linktr.ee/RuanWillow Affiliates Firm Tech 15% OFF with code ruan15 https://myfirmtech.com/ruanwillow BeeDee dating app https://beedee.app/?r=ohfuckyeahThe Fantasy Box DATE30 for $30 OFF 1st box https://thefantasybox.sjv.io/c/6250602/2141126/26423

He also discusses the business side, including his Urban X Award nominations, building a brand beyond performing, and the strategic decisions that drive content creation.Dante doesn't shy away from the sacrifices either - the loss of privacy, relationship challenges, and how the work requires treating intimate moments as professional productions rather than personal connections.**Ready to hear the unfiltered truth about turning passion into profession?

Her journey toward sexual freedom skyrocketed when she learned about neighborhood sex secrets at a pool party where she was suddenly calling two neighbors ‘Daddy'. As she melted into the secret sex world emerging before her in the seemingly boring square mile of homes, she deliciously found herself assimilating into the hidden underworld of an alternative lifestyle.Her sexual explorations exploded as she let go of traditional societal conventions and chose to take chances. Instead of playing alone in her bedroom, she began to live out the raunchiest depths of her fantasies as her new partners set out to help her fulfill her sexual bucket list. Alexa spread her wings doing taboo acts in real life that, until then, she'd only watched on a screen or lived merely in her dreams. Her Daddies became her guardians, deliverers of her desires, and directors of sexual heights she never thought were possible.But then her new world gets threatened. Someone doesn't want her in the new triad of Daddy, Daddy, and good girl. Not only can the good guys turn bad, but bad guys also come back, and only the protected good girls can withstand the storms. Through it all, she finally understands one thing for sure, she is most definitely a good girl, and good girls have the most fun when they follow their ‘Daddies'.An HEA spicy romance, a Daddy Dom/submissive story of control and submission that flourishes as mutual sexual freedoms.
