I got an email from a guy that perfectly captures a pattern I see over and over again.An anxious man.An avoidant wife.Years of emotional distance.One final attempt to “do the healthy thing” and open up…And then everything collapses.I break down:Why vulnerability isn't the problem — but timing and containment matterHow passivity slowly kills attraction in long-term relationshipsThe anxious/avoidant dynamic so many men get trapped inWhy some divorces turn cold, transactional, and threatening overnightWhat men should focus on after the marriage ends instead of chasing closureIf you're in a dead bedroom, walking on eggshells, or afraid to say the wrong thing in your own marriage, this video will probably feel uncomfortably familiar.I also talk about how men rebuild after this kind of emotional and financial hit, drawing from my book REBUILD – The Complete Guide to Starting Over as a Man, and why having other men around you — like inside the Help For Men Brotherhood — matters more than most guys want to admit.You're not broken.You're not alone.But passivity has a cost — and eventually, it comes due.

In this episode, I sit down with Susan Bratton, the “Intimacy Expert to Millions,” for a powerful conversation on grief, pleasure, sexual liberation, and lifelong vitality. We begin with how to hold rage and overwhelm without losing access to joy, and expand into how pleasure regulates the nervous system and restores power. Susan shares her work on ageless sexuality, orgasmic expansion, desire in long-term relationships, and why generosity — not performance — is the key to reigniting intimacy. We explore entheogens, radical honesty, and the idea that sexual literacy is a deeply agentic act in a culture shaped by repression.An uncensored conversation on pleasure as medicine, erotic agency, and the regenerative power of intimacy.In this episode you'll hear:00:00 Intro: Grief, Rage & Why Pleasure Is Essential08:13 Sexual Repression, Agency & the Documentary Behind Closed Doors18:59 Entheogens, Orgasm & Collective Connection33:10 Why Desire Fades & How to Reignite It42:04 Yoni Massage, Generosity & Moving Beyond “Duty Booty”50:04 Affairs, Accountability & The Erotic Work of Vulnerability55:34 Sensate Focus, Expanded Orgasm & Training the Nervous System for PleasureTHE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUESTSusan Bratton, known as the “Intimacy Expert to Millions,” is a passionate advocate for lifelong desire, connection, and ageless sexuality.

In a February 2026 internal meeting with employees of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates acknowledged that he had two extramarital affairs with Russian women during his marriage to Melinda French Gates. According to reports from The Wall Street Journal and others, Gates said one relationship was with a Russian bridge player he met at events and the other with a Russian nuclear physicist he encountered through business activities. He stressed that these affairs were unrelated to any of Jeffrey Epstein's victims and that he never witnessed or took part in any illegal behavior.Gates framed his admissions as part of a broader apology for his past association with Epstein, which included meetings and travel together after Epstein's 2008 conviction that Gates now calls “a huge mistake.” He told the staff that his interactions with Epstein, including involving foundation executives, had cast a shadow over the organization's reputation and that he regretted the decisions. Gates maintained he had “done nothing illicit” while also taking responsibility for the personal and professional consequences of his choicesto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates admits he had two affairs with Russian women, apologizes for Epstein links

Infidelity is one of the most talked-about — and least honestly discussed — parts of modern relationships. In this episode of Dating Intelligence, I sit down with author Teresa J. Conway, who shares her personal journey into the world of affairs and what she's learned from years inside it. We explore the psychology behind cheating, the emotional needs people often struggle to admit, and why relationships rarely fail for the reasons couples think they do. We also discuss Ashley Madison, online secrecy, communication breakdowns, and the spectrum between emotional and physical betrayal. Rather than sensationalizing the topic, this conversation looks at infidelity as a human behavior — one tied to desire, avoidance, attachment, and unmet needs. Whether you're single, dating, married, or recovering from betrayal, this episode will challenge assumptions and give you a deeper understanding of relationship dynamics most people never openly talk about. This is not about encouraging cheating — it's about understanding why it happens.

In part two, when it comes to the government's changes to the Equal Pay Act, you can't go past these words: a 'flagrant and significant abuse of power.' That's a description of the process parliament followed, when the changes were passed under urgency. That prompted the formation of the People's Select Committee on Pay Equity, which did it's own consultation on the changes. Former Women's Affairs minister Steve Chadwick served on the committee and joins the Panel. Then, Craig Piner is the chief fire officer in Richmond, outside of Nelson, he's marking 27 years of volunteer service. The Panel salutes him and all volunteers everywhere.

In this episode, we cover everything from aging as men to the importance of getting your affairs in order before it's too late. We kick things off by laughing at ourselves — realizing that playing basketball in our 30s and 40s is not the same as it was in our 20s. The recovery time is longer, the knees talk back, and pride can get you hurt. From there, we share some hilarious (and slightly embarrassing) stories about experimenting with male enhancement supplements and what that taught us about ego, health, and expectations. But underneath the humor is a serious message: as men, we have to take responsibility for our health and our legacy. That means doctor visits. That means estate planning. That means making sure our families aren't left scrambling if something happens to us. Growing older isn't just about slowing down — it's about getting wise. This episode is funny, honest, and necessary. Because handling your business now is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind.

I want to read you a short email from a married man in a dead bedroom.There's no cheating.No screaming fights.No dramatic collapse.Just a quiet decision to stop bringing it up.I break down how a lot of men end up in sexless marriages not because they chose them — but because they slowly became passive. They stopped rocking the boat. They stopped advocating for themselves. They let things happen instead of taking control.We'll talk about:Why men confuse passivity with patienceHow avoiding conflict slowly erodes self-respectWhy guilt replaces desire in long-term relationshipsHow silence becomes the unspoken agreementAnd why wanting intimacy doesn't make you selfishThis isn't about demanding sex or blaming your partner. It's about agency — and what happens when a man quietly gives it up.If you've ever felt like your relationship just drifted into something you didn't choose, this one will probably hit close to home.Join the Brotherhood! https://helpformen.com/join

Send a textIn this episode of The Remarkable People Podcast, host David Pasqualone interviews author and entrepreneur Sandra Lena Silverman, a co-founder of a large mortgage business and mother of two, about her life story and the lessons she wants listeners to apply—especially learning to love themselves. Sandra shares being adopted as an infant, childhood molestation that later manifested as a severe fear of elevators, and a lifelong pattern of perfectionism and overachieving. She recounts a difficult marriage marked by gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional abuse from a narcissistic husband, including constant body-shaming that contributed to her pursuit of numerous cosmetic procedures and surgeries. Sandra describes how the abuse escalated after pregnancy, the onset of infidelity, multiple separations (including in 2006, 2016, and 2023), and her decision to end the cycle with a final separation in 2024 and ongoing divorce proceedings. She explains how prolonged stress affected her health—high cortisol, inflammation, shaking—and how those symptoms improved after leaving. Sandra discusses warning signs such as love bombing, excuses, and blame-shifting, emphasizes the need for strong boundaries, and updates listeners on her current work: her book deal for three books (including the republished From Bullshit to Botox and a forthcoming second book focused on her marriage and narcissism), her show Parties Over, and her social media presence where people can connect with her.01:50 What You'll Learn Today: Loving Yourself02:56 Adopted in Maryland: Family, Identity, and Early Questions04:58 Childhood Trauma Revealed: Molestation, Memory, and Finding Her Birth Mother06:21 The Trauma Shows Up Later: Claustrophobia & Fear of Elevators08:18 Perfectionism and Overachieving to Earn Love09:37 Meeting Her Ex: The First Body-Shaming Comment10:49 Building a Business + The First Surgery (and the Put-Downs Continue)14:04 Pregnancy, Cruelty, and the Moment She Saw the “Monster”16:13 Affairs, Separations, and the Crossroads She Didn't Leave19:05 Hard-Won Warning: Without Boundaries, It Only Gets Worse20:11 Breaking the Cycle: Final Separation & Choosing Yourself22:13 Healing After Abuse: Epiphanies, Boundaries, and Health Recovery25:02 Kids, Co-Parenting, and Protecting Them from Dysfunction26:21 Red Flags of Narcissism: Love Bombing, Gaslighting, and Blame-Shifting29:40 Life After Leaving: Books, Podcast, New Opportunities, and Independence32:50 Beauty vs. Self-Worth: Elective Surgery, Internal Work, and Doing It for You35:00 Faith, Divorce, and Where to Find Sandra + Final Wrap-Up37:25 Podcast Closing Message: Feedback, Sharing, and Living the MissionREMARKABLE SPECIAL OFFER: Save Big on Your Console Vault In-Vehicle Safe.

The balance of global power changed profoundly over the course of the twentieth century, above all with the economic and political rise of Asia. Asia after Europe: Imagining a Continent in the Long Twentieth Century (Harvard UP, 2024) is a bold new interpretation of the period, focusing on the conflicting and overlapping ways in which Asians have conceived their bonds and their roles in the world. Tracking the circulation of ideas and people across colonial and national borders, Sugata Bose explores developments in Asian thought, art, and politics that defied Euro-American models and defined Asianness as a locus of solidarity for all humanity.Impressive in scale, yet driven by the stories of fascinating and influential individuals, Asia after Europe examines early intimations of Asian solidarity and universalism preceding Japan's victory over Russia in 1905; the revolutionary collaborations of the First World War and its aftermath, when Asian universalism took shape alongside Wilsonian internationalism and Bolshevism; the impact of the Great Depression and Second World War on the idea of Asia; and the persistence of forms of Asian universalism in the postwar period, despite the consolidation of postcolonial nation-states on a European model.Diverse Asian universalisms were forged and fractured through phases of poverty and prosperity, among elites and common people, throughout the span of the twentieth century. Noting the endurance of nationalist rivalries, often tied to religious exclusion and violence, Bose concludes with reflections on the continuing potential of political thought beyond European definitions of reason, nation, and identity.
