Hello, wonderful readers. I am taking a break from Misseducated in the coming weeks as I focus on The Intimacy Journal, which will be launching on Kickstarter very soon. I can't wait for you to get your hands on a copy!

Happy anniversary, Top Floor!  Calvin Tilokee is the founder and creative director of RevPAR Media, blending 20+ years of revenue management and marketing with a sharp creative streak. Known for illuminating hospitality brands and roasting industry quirks with his beloved hotel-meme persona, @revparblems, Calvin bridges data, strategy, and humor. On this anniversary episode, he flips the script as guest host, guiding a lively tour through pandemic pivots, podcast production, and personal pet peeves. What You'll Learn About: • Where Susan found the nerve to launch a business without a cash cushion or safety net. • Calvin's own origin story: furlough → pandemic pivot → RevPAR Media, full steam ahead. • The birth of Top Floor: from “Going Up” to the brand you know (and why the original name got nixed). • Why the show expanded beyond marketing, and why that makes it more fun (and nosier). • Production secrets: heavy prep, tight edits, and Susan's biggest guest pet peeves. • The fan favorites everyone mentions: the sister episodes (aka laugh tracks with plot). • What's next: more episodes, collabs, maybe a digital magazine, and some video—selectively. • Dream guests: Cindy Gallop and Sara Blakely (manifesting!). • Big swings Susan wants to try: investigative series + hospitality history deep dives. • Legacy goal: helping pros discover dream roles they didn't know existed. • Three Loading Dock stories for the price of one… but you'll have to listen for that. Our Top Three Takeaways: 1. Entrepreneurship isn't about perfect timing or eliminating all risk. Susan launched Hive Marketing in 2009 without savings or a safety net, betting that the chaos of the financial crisis made “failure” reputationally safe, and she's never looked back. 2. Top Floor's edge is curiosity + craft. The show evolved from a marketing niche to a “curiosity cabinet” for the entire hospitality industry, staying audio-first with tight editing and meticulous preparation, and measuring success by growing influence and genuine relationships.  3. The next chapter is expansion and experimentation. Susan's eyeing more episodes, collaborations, a digital Top Floor magazine, selective video/live moments, and investigative or history-of-hospitality series, aiming to surface hidden career paths and inspire listeners while the industry modernizes to match guest behavior.

For me, mastering the art of no-strings-attached sex was a total accident. Since I first wrote about dating Mexican men, I've been looking for a boyfriend on Bumble (i.e., a long-term, monogamish relationship). While my profile says I'm looking for “a fun, serious relationship with someone who lives in Mexico City,” that endeavor has proven to be very difficult. So I've been making casual pit stops into random men's pants to maintain my sanity and have a little fun.Today I'm going to share my very pseudo-scientific logic on how women aren't destined to be bonded forever to every guy we fucked.Come back for more…

NADIN LEFKELI ist Managing Director der Jung von Matt Music GmbH, einer Musikagentur für Werbung. Mit ihrem Team bringt sie nicht nur den richtigen Sound in die Werbung, sondern verbindet vor allem die Marketing- und Werbewelt mit der Welt der Musik. Dabei connected sie vor allem Brands mit Artists/Labels/Verlagen und hat damit einen entscheidenden Anteil daran, ob uns eine Werbung oder Produkt im Ohr bleibt. Große Kampagnen hat sie u.a. für Bosch, Edeka oder Sixt realisiert. Seit über 20 Jahren ist sie bereits in der Musikbranche tätig und hatte zunächst als A&R Assistentin bei Warner Music angefangen, bevor es sie ganz, eher zufällig, in die Werbebranche zog. Wir sprechen mit NADIN LEFKELI darüber, was ihre Aufgabe als Managing Director so mit sich bringt, wie sie sich als Frau in Führungsposition fühlt, was die perfekte Symbiose aus Musik und Werbung ausmacht, wie KI Werbung und Musik beeinflusst und wann sie das letzte Mal „gehooked“ von Musik war.Es geht um Sichtbarkeit von Frauen in der Werbeindustrie, Voice Cloning, Werbetrends, Grenzüberschreitungen, Lizenzen & Copyright, Soundalikes, Bauchentscheidungen und „Einfach machen“.Wenn NADIN LEFKELI sich nicht gerade auf ihren nächsten Boxkampf vorbereitet, singt sie unter der Dusche heimlich „Point and kill“ oder träumt von einem Treffen mit Cindy Gallop.Bühne frei für NADIN LEFKELI: She´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:Hier findet ihr uns auf YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@heretogetheardNADIN LEFKELI:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadin-lefkeli-905452104/?originalSubdomain=deTHOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-buehne-frei-fuer-staffel-4-des-musikpodcasts/SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-podcast-creator-gear.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

In this powerful episode of Three Shades Deeper, we sit down with the incomparable Cindy Gallop—advertising icon, entrepreneur, and founder of the groundbreaking platform MakeLoveNotPorn (https://makelovenotporn.tv). Known for speaking boldly about sex, Cindy shares how she “accidentally” got into porn—not the industry, but the mission to revolutionize how we think about it. Dating younger men led Cindy to discover a troubling gap between porn fantasy and real-world sex. Frustrated by the lack of practical, healthy sex education, she took action by launching MakeLoveNotPorn—a site that showcases real people having real sex, for the purpose of education, not titillation. We dive into:     •    Cindy's origin story and what inspired her to create a sex-positive business     •    The disconnect between mainstream porn and intimate reality     •    The role of MakeLoveNotPorn in normalizing open conversations around sex     •    How we can all be part of changing the narrative This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about sextech, intimacy, and reshaping the way we talk about sex in the digital age.

 Looks very controversial but it works…A female computer scientist analyzed online dating at OkCupid from 10 Millions of daters.She analyzed all of the successful dating conversations between 2013 and 2018: 1.) 61% of conversations take place between an older man and a younger woman, and in almost half of them, the age gap is at least five years older. 2.) The older-woman-younger-man combo is significantly rarer (appearing in less than one-third of all conversations), and in only 12% of these is the woman at least five years older.3.) Men start 80% of conversations on OkCupid, and they tend to message younger women. The older men get the women, so younger the women are 4.) Women, on the other hand, message and respond most often to men about their own age. Once they reach 35, women actually respond more often to younger guys. But because men are usually the conversation starters, the older-man-younger-woman paradigm prevails.5.)But when women message men, they're actually more likely to get a response from younger men than they are from older ones. A 40-year-old woman will have better luck messaging a 25-year-old man (60% reply rate)   than a 55-year-old one (36% reply rate), according to the data. And a 30-year-old man is more likely to respond to a message from a 50-year-old woman than to a message from any other age group. When women make the first move, the age gap dating norm is reversed.For instance: Trevor, a 28-year-old mathematician,  “Well to be honest,” said Trevor, “I usually go for older women. They have more interesting jobs and hobbies, and their profiles are just better… no stupid selfie-only profiles.”For instance me. I had a tough life and very strenuous study with awful health problems. Until 25 years I was a virgin… And the dating with women didn't work out.So I have made the group Sexual Awareness in the Bhagwan/Osho scene… And then I was together with a 50 years old teacher who had already 4 kids in the same age as me… So what, she wanted sex like crazy, and I was capable ..,, And the relationship was very relaxed or the most relaxed relationship I ever had with a woman… There are a lot of those 50-year-old women who really clean up with the 20-year-old dudes. To be fair, very few 50-year-old women (fewer than 1%) actually message men this young, but when they do, they kill it.  In an interview, Cindy Gallop, the 57-year-old founder of MakeLoveNotPorn.com who openly champions the benefits of women dating younger men. My Video: Older women should date younger men! https://youtu.be/QJg89MdItxkMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Older-women-should-date-younger-men.mp3

Cindy Gallop likes to blow shit up. She's one of the most sassy, outspoken and well known experts in the advertising industry. A tireless supporter and fighter for women being promoted and paid as much as men in advertising, a brand and business innovator, consultant and speaker and more recently, founder & CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn - the world's first and only user-generated, human-curated social sex video sharing platform, socialising and normalising sex to make it easier for everyone to talk about, openly and honestly. In this very special episode, Jac asks Cindy why she's so passionate about a number of things, what really pisses her off, how she maintains the energy to continually fight for equality and diversity when it comes to equal pay, getting women promoted and funded.  Cindy shares why she's so confident and what we all need to do to grow our confidence, the sooner the better. Cindy Gallop very much epitomises keeping it real and we reckon she's a real keeper!Make Love Not Porn investment link: https://wefunder.com/makelovenotpornCindy's Linked In profile:https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindygallop?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appCindy's Advice on Women & Pay: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrcWxypY/ ------Find out more about our Finders Keepers event in Fijihttps://tinyurl.com/JacandRalFinderskeeperss---------------------------------------------------------New Episode Every Monday Follow the showhttps://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPgFollow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/Follow Ralhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown

This week we investigate the $3 billion career coaching industry that's exploded to 70,000 coaches worldwide. From 23-year-olds giving life advice to vague promises about "audacious visions," we examine what happens when professionals like Jamie spend $6,000 on advice like "eat a healthy breakfast" only to lose their job anyway. With advertising veteran Cindy Gallop, we explore whether the problem is really you needing "fixing" or just your work environment, and why sometimes the best career guidance doesn't come from the person charging by the hour.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week I'm bringing back an episode with the wonderful Cindy Gallop. Cindy has over 30 years of experience in brand-building, marketing, and advertising. Cindy took a risk when she entered advertising, and she hasn't stopped taking them since. In 1998 she moved from the UK to New York and began building one of the fastest-growing agencies in Europe's US branch, the New York office of Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH). Four years later, BBH US was named Ad Week's Eastern Agency of the Year, and in 2003 Cindy was named Advertising Woman of the Year.  In 2005 she resigned as Chairman of BBH to pursue other projects. She continues to work in advertising and marketing, but is also tending to other fascinating projects of her own as well. At TED 2009, she launched MakeLoveNotPorn, she is the founder and CEO of IfWeRanTheWorld, a co-action software that enables brands to implement the business model of the future: Shared Values + Shared Action = Shared Profit (financial and social).    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… marketers and anyone on a mission to bring more diversity to their organization and brand, and those interested in learning more about the final marketing frontier!   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Cindy Gallop takes us on a journey through the history of advertising and how we can be more mindful of inclusion and being more diverse moving forward. She also tackles the uncomfortable but necessary topics we simply aren't addressing and the importance of the final marketing (in her mind) frontier: sex. Cindy is fearless and thoughtful on the topic and presents compelling evidence on the importance of being more willing to take risks when it comes to advertising and sex.   WHAT I LOVE MOST… Cindy opens up a dialogue that will make us uncomfortable and get us thinking about all of the opportunities yet to be explored in marketing, as well as thinking critically from a health and wellness perspective.   Running time: 34:43   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X   Find Cindy Online: LinkedIn Facebook   Cindy's Websites: Cindy's Website Make Love Not Porn   Cindy's TED Talk

In this engaging conversation, Cindy Gallop shares her journey from a successful marketing career to founding Make Love Not Porn, a platform aimed at normalizing and destigmatizing sex through real-world demonstrations. She discusses the challenges faced in the adult content industry, the importance of communication in sexual relationships, and how her platform has positively impacted countless lives. Gallop emphasizes the need for societal change regarding sexual attitudes and encourages open discussions about sex to foster healthier relationships. In this conversation, Cindy Gallop and Dr. Kelly Casperson discuss the importance of communication in relationships, particularly in the context of sexual health and empowerment. They explore how women can take charge of their sexual experiences, the significance of self-care in midlife, and the vision for Make Love Not Porn as a platform for positive sexual education. They also address the urgent need to combat rape culture and the importance of funding female-led initiatives to create safer online spaces. Takeaways Without good sex ed, porn becomes the sex ed default Cindy Gallop's background in marketing aids her current mission. Make Love Not Porn was born from personal experiences with younger partners. The platform aims to provide real-world sex education. Gallop highlights the challenges of operating in the adult content space. Communication is key to great sexual experiences. The platform has changed many lives and saved relationships. Gallop encourages people to talk about sex openly. She believes in empowering individuals to create change. The importance of complimenting partners to enhance intimacy. Change in sexual attitudes requires collective micro-actions. Communication through demonstration is key in relationships. Women should embrace their sexuality and use tools like vibrators without fear. Lube enhances sexual experiences and should be normalized. Midlife can be a time of empowerment and self-discovery.

IntroductionHello Wonderful Readers*,A very contentious topic came up in a conversation with my female friends this week. I discussed with them how I'm single and looking for a partner in bed and in life. But how old is too old? And how young is too young?When I decided to write about this topic, a cultural icon immediately came to mind: founder and innovator Cindy Gallop. She's currently 64, and she has shared her sexual preferences and experiences with dating apps publicly:“I date younger men for sex. I want lots of stamina and very short recovery periods. I don't get those with men my own age...I was completely honest about everything, including my age…I got an avalanche of responses, which was very good for the ego. 75% of those responses were from younger men.”Her perspective got me thinking. How common are big age differences in heterosexual relationships? Is Cindy Gallop a lone wolf (or a lone “cougar”) in today's world? And are relationships with big age gaps less likely to work out?I dug into the science to answer these questions. While I've found some fascinating things, I will say that to get a complete picture, I could have looked at more data from studies on dating apps and whether these findings hold for LGBTQIA couples because these statistics focused solely on heterosexual couples. The reach of my work here is limited, and there's always room for improvement.So, let's dig in!The State of Age AffairsThere's a clear trend in heterosexual marriages in the United States: now, more than ever before, husbands and wives are likely to be the same age. According to Pew, the average age difference in the United States was 4.9 years in 1880, 2.4 years in 2000, and 2.2 years in 2022.In the data below published in 2008, you can see that for marriages in England and Wales (a proxy for “Western” cultures), there is a bell-shaped distribution of the average age differences between couples. Most married couples in recent history have had a husband who is slightly older than the wife. But this is a difference of less than 5 years, and it has been declining since 1963. Indeed, 51% of opposite-sex marriages today have spouses who are two years apart in age or less, which is up from 46% in 2000 (Pew).Are Relationships with Larger Age Gaps Less Successful?To answer this question, I looked at large-scale studies on divorce rates by age difference. Of course, divorce rates are not the perfect measurement of relationship success. A couple can fight every day and stay married, which is probably worse than a couple that divorces civilly and stays friends. As Divorce Therapist Oona Metz has shared, “What the new research shows is that conflict is bad for kids.” Ideally, I could have looked at relationship conflict and age differences between couples, but as far as I'm aware, no such data exists.It turns out that the age difference of a couple is NOT a major predictor of whether the relationship will end in divorce. The bottom line, according to this 2008 study from the National Office of Statistics, is that, at least for now,“propensity to divorce is not strongly associated with marital age difference at an aggregate level, although further research would be required to control for mortality and any other factors that may affect the risk of divorce.”Other studies have suggested that in order to interpret these findings fully, researchers would need to disaggregate the data based on whether one of the partners was married before and who initiated the divorce. It's well known that about two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women, so these divorce statistics may well be skewed toward women's preferences.Unfortunately, as I dug into this data, I found a lot of crappy news outlets that totally blew findings from certain studies out of proportion and came to conclusions that were misleading or just plain wrong. One poorly researched article on a website called MarketWatch concludes, “The bigger the age gap, the shorter the marriage.” This is not true. The second source they cited has since redacted an inaccurate chart where they tried to show the increased likelihood of the marriage ending based on the age difference. I smell b******t! Still, I had to get out my magnifying glass and relearn how to read coefficients from my Statistics classes at Wharton just to determine that this was indeed a shitstorm of statistical insignificance.As far as we know today, an age difference does not significantly impact the success of a relationship. However, there are a couple more interesting insights below the surface.Extra Interesting Tidbits: Things To ConsiderMale Preferences For Younger Females and Vice VersaA study conducted by Professor David Buss at UT Austin investigated sex differences in mate preferences in 37 cultures with 10,047 participants. Its findings might partially explain why men are slightly older on average in married couples than women. Their key result was:“Females were found to value cues to resource acquisition in potential mates more highly than males. Characteristics signaling reproductive capacity were valued more by males than by females.”Basically, females take more than just physical appearance into account when selecting a mate, as they might want a partner who signals resource acquisition for their potential offspring. Additionally, males might prioritize physical appearance and have a preference for younger females because of “a biological adaptation resulting from the greater potential fertility of younger women” (Office for National Statistics), especially if they want to produce offspring and have a family.However, this is a generalization and certainly not a rule. There is also a variety of other social trends happening. For example, women's increased access to education throughout the world has coincided with an increase in the age of marriage. Plus, while women might have preferred older men for their access to financial stability and resources, the gender pay gap is decreasing with more of us females entering and staying in the workforce, so this is becoming less socially relevant. Indeed, among unmarried adults, single women without children now have, on average, as much wealth as single men (Pew).Until Death Do Us Part: Widowhood & Living AloneThe only reason to be concerned about a large age gap with your partner is whoever is much older is obviously more likely to die sooner, leaving the other person widowed and most likely living alone.According to Pew, as the share of husbands who are older than their wives has fallen, widowhood for women ages 65 and older has fallen to 30% today, down from 45% in 2000. Given this spousal age gap and the fact that women tend to live longer than men globally, about 20% of women over 60 live in a solo household, compared to about 10% of men (Pew).Is Everyone Coming to Cougartown?There's been a lot of talk about “cougars” in the news, or “age-hypogamy,” where the female is older than the male in a heterosexual relationship. A study released in 2003 by the UK's Office for National Statistics concluded that the proportion of women in England and Wales marrying younger men rose from 15% to 26% between 1963 and 1998. Still, these forms of relationships are rare, even though they are slightly on the rise. By a different definition, “recent US census data has shown an increase in age-hypogamous relationships from 6.4% in 2000 to 7.7% in 2012.” (Wikipedia).Despite the sensational news, cougars appear to be happier than other females who are in relationships! There is some evidence that “woman-older partners were the most satisfied with and committed to their relationships, relative to woman-younger and similarly aged partners, consistent with socio-cultural predictions” (Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2008). And for all my older, single female readers, there's evidence that age doesn't matter to male partners as much as beauty. Yes, unfortunately, you're still being held to the standard of the male gaze, but being doesn't matter as much as being good-looking. Is that a plus? I'll leave that for you to decide.Second Marriages & MenDigging through the research, I did find that when a husband is marrying for the second time, his wife is often much younger:“Some 20% of men who are newly remarried have a wife who is at least 10 years their junior, and another 18% married a woman who is 6-9 years younger. By comparison, just 5% of newlywed men in their first marriage have a spouse who is 10 years younger, and 10% married a woman who is 6-9 years younger.” (Pew)The “Socially-Acceptable” Cop Out: “Half your age, plus seven.”I came across this concept during my research. While it will have no impact on whether or not your relationship with someone of a different age will work out, this will help you determine whether or not that age difference is “socially acceptable.” To determine the youngest person who you're allowed to date, simply use “half your age plus seven.”So if I'm 29, the youngest person I could foreseeably date without being seen as a complete weirdo is roughly 22 years old. However, studies have shown that this rule applies much more appropriately to the age range that men can date, as opposed to women, which I think checks out. Because unless he is really amazing, dating a 22-year-old guy for me right now would feel very weird indeed.  My Statistically Insignificant StoriesIn addition to the more useful statistics of having a partner who is alive and the potential of being happy as an older cougar, here are my not-so-scientific summaries of my experiences dating younger and older men.Dating Younger MenLargest Age Difference: 3 years younger than me.In the last two years, I have dated four guys who were three years younger than me. I enjoy dating younger men, and it didn't feel like too significant an age difference. Most of them had gotten a decent start in their careers. They were flexible in terms of their life direction, and they felt more malleable to date.Within this, I noticed some patterns. The younger men I slept with had great bodies and even better stamina, à la Cindy Gallop. They were also more likely to want to go out clubbing, drink heavily, and party party party until the wee hours of the morning (or as they say in Mexico, “la madrugada,” one of my favorite Spanish words). I'm not a total grandma, so sometimes I would go out with them, but I generally prefer not to go too hard or drink too much, lest I want to do anything the day after.Dating Older MenLargest Age Difference: 14 years older than me.In the last year or two, I've dated two men who were at least 12 years older than me (aged 42 and 44, I think). Neither of them stuck around for long. The first one was The Photographer, and while age was not a factor in terms of my attraction to him, he was a workaholic who had no intention of ever having a family. He explicitly told me he didn't want anything serious, and when people tell me who they are, I try to believe them.The other 44-year-old guy was recent. We met at a very fancy bar in Mexico City. He was short but very well-dressed, and his daddy vibes were hot enough to get me to have dinner with him. The problem with him was that he had two children with two different women. While money wasn't an issue for him (he worked in hotels and real estate), no matter how much money you have, there are only so many competing baby mamas and children scattered around the city that I want to contend with.Much unlike the younger men I dated, both of these men seemed more stuck in their ways, with more rigid schedules and lifestyles that I would have to box myself into. Both also either had dead or very old parents, and that was also a turnoff for me, as I'd like my children to be able to meet their grandparents if possible, and I don't want to start a relationship with one foot already in the grave.ConclusionDoes age difference matter in relationships? The answer seems to be no. The only potential downside of dating someone much older is the possibility of being widowed at a younger age and then living alone. But I already live alone anyway, so to me, this wouldn't make a difference.Whether you're attracted to people of all ages is a different question. As is somewhat reflected in the statistics, my range of dating men who are older than me is much wider than men who are younger than me. Yet I can imagine that if I'm single, aged 50+, I will want to jump on the cougar bandwagon and get a taste of that potentially more satisfying and committed relationship with a younger man. Whoopee!Ultimately, I believe that if you both like each other, then none of the other “socially acceptable” bullcrap really matters, and you shouldn't care what other people think. Don't try to follow a baseless rule like the “half your age plus seven” method because it won't make a difference to the success of your relationship anyway. Also, try not to judge other people. Love is love, and as long as no one is committing statutory rape, there's literally nothing wrong with dating someone with a wild age difference, as far as I'm concerned. And given the other social trends that women are becoming more financially independent, getting better educated, and acquiring more resources of our own, it seems perfectly fit and well that we might want to date men who are younger than us for the same reasons of attractiveness and youth that older men have traditionally sought out in us for ages.Final ThoughtSo, my wonderful readers, what do you think? Would you date someone 15 years younger than you or 15 years older than you? Can you be brave and admit you wanted to date someone who was outside the bounds of a “socially acceptable” age difference?Paid subscribers can battle it out in the comments.Love to you all, and enjoy the rest of your weekend,Tash

Hello Wonderful Readers,I'm struggling to write to you right now. I was on a bender until 3 am this morning, and last night was filled with so many juicy details that it will take me at least a couple of weeks to tell you all about it.Of course, a new guy has entered my life, and I'm nervous to write about him because he reads my work and is supportive of me. As you know, in the recent months of writing Misseducated, I've been burned by my own work much more than I hoped, and it has hurt. Yet, somehow, I have to believe that my work matters enough to keep going. And that leads me to the first part of this story I've got for you here. It's the part of last night that sticks out to me the most.Last night, I woke up from a power nap at about 8:30 pm. I had plans to meet up with Arturo (yes, the new man) at a Jazz Club later in the evening. He's kind of a night owl, so I was thrilled when I woke up bursting with energy. I was ready to take on whatever the night had in store.All you need to know about Arturo is that he's 35, divorced, and from Los Bosques, an upper-class suburb of Mexico City. He also lives in Polanco and works at Google Mexico City office in Las Lomas. We met on Raya and have had a couple of dates together which have gone quite well. So well that, last night, he invited me to meet him at the Jazz Club, Casa Franca, in Roma Norte after he finished a late dinner with his coworkers.Yesterday, we had been texting in Spanish:Arturo, 5:57 pm: See you at Casa Franca? I'll let you know when to get there.Tash, 6:01 pm: Sounds good. See you there and enjoy your dinner!As 9 pm rolled around, I was flailing around my apartment, desperate to make myself look as hot as humanly possible. I know I'm not supposed to get myself glammed up for a night out solely for the pursuit of a man (thank you, Cindy Gallop), but just like any bad feminist, I was embracing the fact that rules exist to be broken. Luckily, I had lined up drinks with a female friend to keep myself distracted from Arturo until the moment we were to meet.I messaged him on the way to the cocktail bar to meet my female friend,Tash, 9:48 pm: Hey, Arturo! What time should I meet you at Casa Franca?And then I emotionally sat on my hands. And I waited.My female friend and I ran into some other friends at the cocktail bar. Then we went out for pizza. Then we went to yet another bar. While I was sitting there, I admit I was being a terrible friend. I was only half-paying-attention to what they were all saying. It's early October. It's cuffing season. I am wrestling with myself inside because I know that I need to lock a man down (only metaphorically, of course) before the winter sets in. However shall I make it through these upcoming cold months alone? However shall I procreate and create a plethora of healthy, rosy-cheeked children? My body is barking at me. In this economy? Not even my logical business-school-educated brain can argue with my urge to get knocked the f**k up. This is biology at its best; at its strongest.I checked my phone at 11:26 pm. Not a word from Arturo. Not a peep. It had been a whole hour and a half. As I sipped on my passion-fruit-laced kombucha with a salt rim, I wondered: Was Arturo going to message me back? He had seemed nice until now. Maybe he got too drunk at dinner? Maybe he'd picked up another hotter girl at Casa Franca already? Maybe he didn't want me to come after all?You know, I've been single for a while. And that's because, well, I don't know. There's got to be something wrong with me. I shouldn't have sent him that very forward message asking him when he'd be at Casa Franca. I'm too needy and desperate, and men can smell it.I started to get upset. I turned to my friends for consolation.“Treat him like a candidate for a job interview,” one of my friends advised me. “If you were interviewing a candidate for a job, and they showed up super later or didn't show up at all, would you stand for that? No! You'd never hire them.”We laughed it off, and something else very exciting happened that I will tell you about next week. But as time went on, I got more and more anxious. Clearly, Arturo didn't want to see me. Why couldn't he have just told the truth in the first place instead of pretending? I couldn't bring myself to check my phone again, just to be trodden down further that Arturo hadn't messaged me. I would bring all of this up with my therapist in our next session. If this guy wasn't going to meet my needs, well, then I was ready to give up on us getting to know each other. To numb the pain of it all, I got another round of drinks with my friends.It was 12:09 am before I checked my phone again.Arturo, 11:46 pm: We've been here a while. Are you coming to Casa Franca?My hands shook as I read the message. I accidentally dropped my phone smack on the table. The ice in our cocktail glasses wobbled. Arturo had messaged me. And I had been so busy wallowing in my story of him not being interested, or of him finding someone better than me, or not caring about me, that I hadn't done the damn simple task of checking in with him on my phone.As soon as I saw his message, I rejoiced with my friends. Arturo wasn't a complete a*****e after all. And maybe, well, I had been being a bit dramatic. I would leave my deep-seated worries about my self-worth for another time because he had requested my presence.I hurried my friends through the end of their conversation. We quickly got the bill. They walked me over to Casa Franca, and after a couple of trips through the various rooms (which I will also tell you about another time because I ran into one of my exes from On Dating Mexican Men), I finally found Arturo and his coworkers.It was sometime past 12:30 am when we finally hugged each other hello. Then Arturo turned to me, and he said,“I'm so glad you came. I was beginning to think it was too late. I was worried you had already gone to sleep and weren't going to make it. It's so good to see you. I'm so glad you came.”His words took me aback. They struck a chord. I puzzled to myself in that moment, again distracted as we caught up with each other about how our day had been.After all the anxiety and the trips through the realms of self-worth that I had dipped into in my own mind, here was this perfectly nice, if not also imperfect, guy standing in front of me. Somewhere along the way, between the hundreds of hours of Instagram reels I had consumed and the narratives about the opposite sex that I had bombarded myself with, I forgot that on the other end of the phone was also another living human person. And that if I wanted to get to know this person, I would have to meet them where they were. Maybe that meant compromising. Maybe that meant being patient. But without a doubt, it meant that I needed to ground myself in my reality and not fall into old, unhealthy stories of how I was treated in the past. It meant not having silly, made-up expectations of a man or any human and how they should show up for me in any given situation.And yet, in my experience of entrenched loneliness and questioning my own worthiness of connection, I had accidentally left him hanging. And I had even transferred that instability and potential for disconnection onto him. My limited story of myself had almost become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Wading through the trash of my information diet and obsessing over my own emotions and ability to connect with others had left me isolated. To the point where I could hardly afford a tiny inch in the corner of my brain to consider the experience of another person, much less a person seeking a deeper connection with me. We had almost passed each other like ships in the night.It reminds me of a fascinating TED Talk I watched a couple of years ago with psychologist Dr. Guy Winch. In the story, Winch shares that he always calls his twin brother on their birthday. That is, until one year, when his birthday rolled around, his twin brother didn't call. During his talk, Winch says,“That night was one of the saddest and longest nights of my life.”That night, he makes up all kinds of stories about how he doesn't matter to his brother anymore and how they've grown apart irreparably. The next day, Winch wakes up and realizes that he had accidentally kicked the phone off the hook the night before. When he realizes this, he puts it back on the ringer, and his brother calls him immediately. His brother had been calling and calling him the whole time, panicking for over a day.“It was the longest and saddest night of his life as well.”Disconnection. That's what our questioning of our self-worth and loneliness can bring us to. Meeting Arturo at the Jazz Club made it clear to me just how much our own perceptions of lovability and our narratives of ourselves create or deny connection in our lives. In ignoring my phone and trapping myself in my narrative of loneliness of not receiving a message from him, I accidentally recreated that experience for Arturo and left him hanging on the other end of his phone, on the verge of disconnection and loneliness also.You know, the tech bros in San Francisco promised us that new apps and AI would make our lives easier. But the longer I have a smartphone, the more I'm convinced that by making things easier, these apps can also make our lives more complex. Now, instead of having a face-to-face conversation, there are two phones, data plans, and wifi signals between us. While, in some ways, that makes it easier for us to communicate, it has also made it easier for us to get lost in our own biased narratives about our lives and how unlovable we might think we are at times. These narratives and perceptions are what shape our reality.I apologized to Arturo. We danced at Casa Franca and had quite a dramatic night for other reasons, which I will tell you about in a couple of weeks. I learned that technology has made communication easier in our lives. But it has made miscommunication easier in our lives also.Much love to you out there, wherever you are in the ether.Stay tuned as I'll be back with a spicier story of who I met at the cocktail bar with my friends next week!Love,Tash

BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight has spoken to mothers who are struggling to cope with sons whose complex needs can lead to aggressive outbursts – often leaving themselves and other family members injured. The NHS used to supply respite care that would give those families a break of one or two nights per month. But that care has been evaporating in Northern Ireland due to a number of factors – including the loss of facilities and an increasing number of children who have gone into full-time care. Spotlight presenter Tara Mills and Julie Tipping, one of the mums featured in the documentary join Kylie Pentelow.Women working in the adult entertainment industry are being put at risk by banks not allowing them to open accounts or denying them financial services. That's what industry representatives are saying, and why the Financial Conduct Authority recently issued new guidelines for banks around allowing sex workers to access their services. To find out more we hear from Clio Wood, a women's health advocate and co-founder of CensHERship, Jessica Van Meir, co-founder of MintStars and Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn.The language used by healthcare professionals to describe pregnancy loss exacerbates the grief and trauma experienced by some individuals. Words such as incompetent cervix, products of conception, and empty sac to name but a few. That's according to a study published this month by University College London. We hear from Dr Beth Malory, Lecturer in English Linguistics at UCL who led the study.Romalyn Ante is a Filipino-British poet who also works as a nurse in the NHS. She has just released her second poetry collection, Agimat, which looks at how we keep safe that which we hold most dear.

Cindy Gallop is a force! The founder and CEO of "If We Ran The World" and "Make Love Not Porn," this former advertising maven turned business innovator, consultant, coach, and keynote speaker "blows shit up," as she delicately calls it, disrupting the status quo when and where it's needed.Hailing from the UK, she graduated from Somerville College, Oxford, and for over 30 years led marketing and ad teams for the US branch of Bartle Bogle Hegarty, which she founded in 1998, leading to her recognition as Advertising Woman of the Year in 2003."This is someone wise and generous as much as she is gracious and feisty," says friend Scott Goodson, Founder of StrawberryFrog. So, join us for a deep conversation with Cindy as we understand her lifelong pursuit of changing the world, one daring project at a time.

My guest this time is Cindy Gallop - consultant, coach, keynote speaker, and founder of MakeLoveNotPorn. I've been a fan of Cindy's since I first watched the interview on the Style Like U channel that saw her become an older female role model not just to me, but to thousands of women of all ages (and apparently a few men too!). I was also lucky enough to finally meet her in person at the Upfront conference earlier this year where she gave the brilliant closing keynote - I had my own ‘Upfront' moment asking her to come on the podcast and she graciously agreed.  We talk about the genesis of her sex-tech business MakeLoveNotPorn.tv: a place for ‘socialising, normalising and destigmatising real-world sex' and Cindy reminds us that when we don't talk about sex ‘porn becomes sex education by default'... I was fascinated to learn more about MLNP - from the rigorous checking and vetting processes that all content and comments pass through to create safe spaces for all concerned, how empowering and healing many of the ‘stars' find the process of sharing their videos, to hearing about how hard it is for sex-tech businesses to attract funding (prompting their current round of equity crowdfunding: see https://wefunder.com/makelovenotporn/ if you want to find out more).  For those of us who do have kids, particularly younger children, the ready availability of pornographic content online is a huge concern - Cindy's next goal is to fund https://www.makelovenotporn.academy/ to create a platform for age-appropriate sex-education for individuals of all ages that will also serve as a way for sex educators to make a living from providing their content (currently most struggle against platforms that censor even educational content). (This: https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/27/more-than-300m-children-victims-of-online-sexual-abuse-every-year is the article I refer to in the course of this episode - shocking statistics and a stark reminder that we can't afford to be complacent in talking to our children about sex, no matter how tricky we may find those conversations. Cindy shares with us her two tips for how to navigate those conversations - advice that I know I'll definitely find hugely useful.  Last of all we cover ageism in the advertising industry and Cindy's determination to change societal attitudes towards ageing - creating a culture where ‘living older' is aspirational and ads are created by and for older audiences and as a result. Music to my ears!   You can find Cindy at https://www.instagram.com/cindygallop and MLNP at https://makelovenotporn.tv/  If you enjoy the podcast and would like to help me keep it running (on a shoestring!) please consider buying me a ‘virtual coffee' at Ko-fi.com/middlingalong - or you can support me in a non-monetary way by sharing this episode, or writing a short review online!  If your workplace wants to become more ‘menopause friendly' then please let them know about the work I do at http://www.managingthemenopause.com  You can also find me over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause   Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle, for fortnightly(ish) goodness into your Inbox: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share  We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/

It's been awhile since we talked about pornography and issues surrounding it. Jessica is also worried about anime. Are these two related? Should parents be worried about animated porn images as well as live action videos and images? What is hentai anyway? What is the impact of trying to "lock down" a teenager's access to porn vs. the impact of open communication? We take on these and other issues surrounding harmful, sexually related imagery. Dr. Ken makes reference to Cindy Gallop's book "Make Love Not Porn." It appears this is no longer available. Got questions or feedback?

Jamie is joined by Cindy Gallop. She calls herself the "Michael Bay of business" because she likes to blow shit up. Cindy never wanted children and loves being unmarried.

Cindy is the founder and CEO of the revolutionary sex education platform MakeLoveNotPorn but before that she took a leap of faith and left a high-flying career in Advertising at the age of 45. This conversation is candid, a little racy, and filled with mind-blowing wisdom that just might change your life and... as Cindy says, make you an "absolute god darn f'ing shit ton of money".

It's time for a revolution in the sheets and the streets, as we sit down with Cindy Gallop, the genius at the forefront of the Social Sex Revolution. Cindy, the visionary behind MakeLoveNotPorn, shares the serendipitous inception of her platform and how it's challenging and reshaping societal norms around sex. But that's just the first layer. Delving deeper, Cindy unravels the complex web of gender bias in AI, advocating for a seismic shift towards inclusivity and safety in tech through the lens of female innovation. Imagine a world where AI not only serves us but enhances our creativity and nurtures ethical, consensual relationships in the digital age—Cindy believes it's not just possible; it's imperative. From the gritty challenges of entrepreneurship to the soaring potential of AI in the arts and sex tech, this conversation is a masterclass in disruption, diversity, and daring to dream.Key TakeawaysMake Love Not Porn has had a significant impact on changing the conversation around sex and challenging societal norms.The platform has played a role in shifting views on sex work and promoting healthy, consensual sexual relationships.Cindy Gallop emphasizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry, particularly in AI development.The future of AI depends on funding female founders and incorporating the female lens to create safe and beneficial AI experiences.

“We end rape culture by showing you how wonderful great consensual, communicative sex is in the real world.” Cindy Gallop never intended MakeLoveNotPorn to be a groundbreaking social sex tech platform.

On today's episode of Hear Me Out… if you need a Chief Diversity Officer, you've already failed. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) trainings are reaching ubiquity in pretty much every American workplace. There's no doubt that discrimination, harassment and sequestering — on the basis of sex, sexuality, gender, race, age — all of that exists. The question becomes what to do about it. And there's an argument to be made that the trainings and buzzwords might be doing more to make workplaces worse than they do to make them better.
