Many online businesses fail to grow not because of bad products, but because of bad hiring. In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, Greg speaks with Mads Singers, a management coach who runs multiple recruitment businesses, to talk about where founders go wrong when building teams. One of the most important hiring considerations is cultural fit. Culture is defined by behavior, not by what's written on your website, but by what you allow. If missed deadlines slide or high performers behave poorly without consequences, that becomes the standard. New hires quickly adjust to whatever they see around them. We also discuss why personality often matters more than experience. Skills can be trained. Behavior is much harder to change. Matching someone's natural strengths to the role dramatically increases your odds of success. Mads also reveals how he finds the best talent. The strongest candidates are usually already employed. If you're just posting a job ad and waiting, you're likely missing them. Expanding your reach and being proactive increases your chances of finding someone exceptional. And if you're hiring a specialist in an area you don't understand? Borrow expertise. Bring in someone knowledgeable to assess technical skill, then set clear expectations from day one. Mads explains that hiring isn't about filling seats. It's about building a team that solves problems without you. That's what turns a stressful job into a scalable, sellable asset. If you're hiring right now, planning to hire, or feeling frustrated with your current team, this episode is worth a listen. Topics Discussed in this episode: Mads' background and his recruitment companies (02:18) Mistakes and key characteristics to look for when hiring new staff (07:03) Why personality matters more than skills (10:07) The importance of identifying and protecting your company culture (14:16) Identifying proactive people and supporting new hires (23:16) How to make your job posting more attractive (28:58) How to hire high-level leadership positions from outside your business (33:14) Hiring, evaluating, and managing people more skilled than you (42:39) Information about the SEO Mastery Summit happening in March (48:20) Mentions: Empire Flippers Podcasts Empire Flippers Marketplace Create an Empire Flippers account Subscribe to our newsletter Mads' website Mads' LinkedIn Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how to hire the right people for your business!
Dr. Sue Morter returns to explore what it truly means to awaken — not as a concept, but as a lived, embodied experience. Beneath our protective personality and performance-driven identity lies a deeper intelligence — an electromagnetic master system that governs healing, perception, and consciousness itself.In this conversation, we explore how nervous system regulation opens the doorway to higher awareness, why triggers are invitations to reclaim lost parts of ourselves, and how building energetic circuitry transforms reactive patterns into creative power. From subtle anatomy and the Shoshumna channel to the relationship between consciousness and matter, this episode bridges science and spirituality in a grounded, practical way.Try LMNT & get a free sample pack https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfTry Boncharge & 15% off their red light deviceshttps://www.boncharge.com/knowthyselfKnow Thyself Community Event Waitlist: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/liveAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro5:48 The Illusion of Inherent Brokenness11:37 The Fuel Behind Achievement17:21 The Protective Personality31:21 Ad: LMNT32:46 The Return to Second Innocence47:04 Ad: BON CHARGE48:13 Expanding the Space Between Stimulus and Response1:04:06 The Science of Subtle Anatomy1:29:24 The Limits of Spiritual Language1:43:07 Embodiment of Expanded Awareness1:49:02 Moving From Joy Instead of Lack1:54:16 The Transformative Power of Immersive Experience2:15:22 Surrendering Fully Into Feeling2:25:42 A Message to the Heart of Humanity___________Episode Resources: Dr. Sue Morter's book: https://nt113.isrefer.com/go/HYHYL-Book/KnowThyself/https://www.instagram.com/drsuemorterhttps://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.comListen to the show:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bZMq9lApple: https://apple.co/4iATICX

In Part 2 of our conversation with Leo Gura, the discussion moves from abstract truth into the territory most people avoid: morality, evil, love, and survival. If everything is one, what becomes of good and bad? If reality is infinite consciousness, are our moral systems discoveries or inventions shaped by fear and self-preservation? The episode wrestles with whether absolute truth dissolves morality or reveals a deeper foundation beneath it, and what it would mean to live from that realization without collapsing into nihilism.Part 1: https://youtu.be/rLYFHXf1xXUPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!00:03:55 Good, Bad, and Absolute Ontology00:06:17 Stages of Moral Development00:09:41 Expanding the Self to Infinity00:12:03 Relative vs Absolute Morality00:17:24 Accountability Within Oneness00:21:35 Law, Consent, and Moral Relativism00:27:22 When Love Becomes Naive00:30:24 Survival Corrupts Pure Ideas00:33:02 Radical Open-Mindedness00:37:13 Good and Evil as Human Constructs00:42:01 Can Evil Exist Ontologically?00:46:16 Trauma, Awakening, and Survival00:51:10 Jesus, Suffering, and Infinite Love00:55:06 Ontology of Love and Infinity00:59:05 Infinity, God, and Absolute Reality01:06:40 Unity in Nature and Daily Life01:11:18 Integration and Practical Awakening01:16:23 Consciousness Beyond Humanity01:19:41 Immortality Through Infinity01:21:20 Closing Reflections and Invitation #Nonduality, #Consciousness, #Awakening, #AbsoluteTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #MoralPhilosophy, #InfiniteLove, #SelfInquiry, #SpiritualAwakening, #TruthSeeking, #PhilosophicalDebate, #skepticism , #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
It was a tough day for transgenders in Kansas and Missouri and the freakout is pretty funny to watch. About 1000 Kansans may have to change one letter on their drivers license under a new law that is in place but won't really even be enforced... at least for a while. My god, what has the world come to. So triggering. And in Missouri, the House passes a law that the overwhelming majority of Americans support as they aim to make it illegal for boys to play in girls sports. Oh, the humanity. A St. Louis tv station reports one of the greatest stories every as it appears most Missouri police departments are working with ICE and turning over illegals when they commit a crime. Wait until you hear what the reporter learned about incentives for those departments to cooperate. The World Cup has a Mexico problem as there are 22 mass graves in and around Guadalajara. In the first four they've dug out, they have found over 500 body bags from cartel violence. There are 130,000 "disappeared" people in Mexico and ALL are presumed dead at the hands of cartels. Are they really playing soccer there? Jac Caglione and Carter Jensen have a monster day for the Royals in Arizona. If these guys are good this year.... watch out. The Royals will be hard to beat. Hall of Fame golfer Tom Watson and the staff at www.watsonlinks.org announce the cities and states this program will be offered to junior golfers has tripled... amazing. A golfer at a tournament in South Africa nearly dies... but not on the course. You have to hear this crazy story of a two time winner that is lucky to be alive. And our Final Final is quite a joke from the folks at the Tampa airport.
This is an episode of FOUR deep dives into how we are losing our human rights... And we are helping it happen. Facial Recognition is becoming in escapable and Meta is about to make that problem a thousand times worse. On top of this, an open communications platform was blocked by a government and the overall expansion of surveillance in the USA is getting cover from the legal system. We also cover so much more and you do not want to miss this episode.
Send a textWhat happens when a passing reference in graduate school turns into a decades-long archival investigation?In this episode, classicist Michele Ronnick shares the remarkable scholarly detective story that led her to recover the life and legacy of William Sanders Scarborough, a formerly enslaved scholar who became one of the most important Black classicists in American history.Beginning during the intellectual debates surrounding Black Athena, Dr. Ronnick questioned why Black participation in classical studies seemed largely absent from academic narratives. That question launched an international archival search involving rare books, unpublished manuscripts, institutional collections, and forgotten correspondence.Her work ultimately resulted in the recovery and publication of Scarborough's autobiography and renewed recognition of his groundbreaking 1881 Greek textbook—considered the first foreign-language textbook authored by a person of African descent.The conversation expands beyond Scarborough to illuminate a broader intellectual network of underrecognized Black classical scholars connected through institutions like Howard University and the AME Church. Along the way, we explore archival discovery, academic exclusion, historical erasure, and the ongoing importance of student research in preserving overlooked histories.Episode Timeline00:00 Why Classics Mattered 00:24 Graduate School Origins 02:02 Black Athena Era Questions 02:53 Finding Scarborough 05:40 Chasing Lost Archives 09:24 Autobiography Breakthrough 12:04 Beyond Scarborough's Network 18:46 Calhoun Quote and Historical Irony 23:37 Teaching and Legacy 27:07 Building the Photo Installation 28:08 Hunting Flia Campbell 29:33 Archive Breakthrough Photo 31:12 Expanding the Scholar List 32:19 Pinkney Warren Russell Evidence 34:43 Greener and Scarborough Letters 40:22 George Lightfoot at Howard 45:50 Inspiring New ResearchersAbout the GuestDr. Michele Valerie Ronnick is Distinguished Service Professor Emerita of Classics at Wayne State University and a leading scholar in recovering the history of Black classicists in the United States.

At the State of the Union, lawmakers were asked to stand for a simple principle: that the first duty of government is to protect American citizens. Many Democrats remained seated. When pressed afterward, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer avoided saying Americans come first. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi deflected with constitutional rhetoric. Meanwhile in New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez promoted childcare access regardless of immigration status as property tax hikes sparked backlash from homeowners. At the federal level, former President Donald Trump announced a sweeping anti-fraud initiative led by Vice President JD Vance, with claims that government waste could total up to a trillion dollars annually. Tara connects the dots: political fear, base pressure, voter math, sanctuary city policy, and why this moment may be bigger than one speech.

Leadership transitions don't have to be terrifying revenue cliffs. In this conversation, Travis Craddock, CFRE and Founder of Craddock Strategies, reframes interim development leadership as a powerful strategic advantage—not a temporary patch.Too often, organizations view interim fundraising support as “a warm body in an empty seat.” Travis challenges that mindset directly. “It prevents rushed or misaligned hires that can be expensive,” he explains, positioning interim leadership as a disciplined pause that protects both donor relationships and long-term revenue health.Fundraising is built on trust. When leadership shifts, donors notice. Travis prioritizes immediate communication, transparency, and clarity so nothing falls through the cracks. Renewals are tracked. Grants are monitored. Donors are reassured. Strategy stays in motion.But here's where the real opportunity emerges.An interim professional arrives without emotional baggage. That means clearer data analysis, honest conversations about ROI, and strategic evaluation of legacy traditions. Should the gala continue? Is it delivering meaningful return? Are event attendees being cultivated into major donors? These are business questions—asked gracefully, but directly.Travis describes himself as “gracefully honest,” and that honesty becomes catalytic. Interim work isn't simply maintenance. It's an opportunity to elevate roles, revise job descriptions, shift from event-driven tactics to relationship-based fundraising, and align hiring with long-term strategic direction.He emphasizes data-driven decisions, CRM fluency, relationship-centered fundraising, and partnership with CEOs and boards. In many cases, he becomes the strategic driver—project-managing fundraising momentum while executives focus on mission execution.Three months may be the minimum engagement window. Six months may be ideal. But within that time, organizations can stabilize revenue, recalibrate strategy, build infrastructure, and hire with intention.Anything is possible when nonprofits embrace transition as transformation! 00:00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Interim Fundraising 00:02:30 What Craddock Strategies Provides Nonprofits 00:04:03 Interim Leadership Beyond a Temporary Fix 00:06:48 Expanding the Definition of the Fundraising Team 00:09:21 Strategy Versus Firefighting in Development 00:11:09 Evaluating Events and Return on Investment 00:14:18 Communicating with Donors During Transition 00:17:18 Hiring Timelines and Interim Engagement Length 00:18:32 Revising Job Descriptions to Match Strategy 00:23:01 Technology Investment and Infrastructure Mindset Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Gary explains why true crises are often preventable through preparation, liquidity, and resilient financial structures. Drawing from submarine operations, real estate investing, and leadership experience, he breaks down how effective leaders manage uncertainty, control emotional reactions, and make clear decisions when information is incomplete. At the center of the conversation is one powerful principle: Bad news never gets better with time. Listeners will learn how early communication, structured thinking, and trained decision-making processes can transform chaos into manageable action — whether in business, investing, or personal life. This episode delivers practical frameworks for crisis response, leadership development, and building organizations that function effectively even when leaders are absent.

It's alignment.And alignment begins within.
What if the key to better work and wiser leadership isn't adding more tools but building a bigger vessel? Shigeki Nishimura—author, cross-cultural leadership coach, and former global executive—joins us to introduce Utsuwa, the Japanese concept of inner capacity. Drawing on two decades in Germany and a career bridging Japanese precision with European efficiency, Shigeki shows how a clay tea bowl can rewire your approach to stress, focus, and team culture.We dive into a powerful triad: ikigai as the engine (purpose), kintsugi as the mechanic (repair), and Utsuwa as the chassis (capacity). Instead of sprinting toward bigger goals with a fragile frame, he explains how to grow stability, increase margin, and keep a low center of gravity—so you can hold success without arrogance and failure without shattering. The result is spacious leadership: decisive when needed, humble by default, and relentlessly human. Expect concrete practices, from tidy-desk resets and shorter meetings to one-on-ones that create trust and autonomy. You'll hear how emptiness—yohaku—is not a void to fear, but the space where insight lands and innovation begins.Shigeki shares a four-question diagnostic to test your capacity, plus three habits to expand it: accept your cracks, lower your center, and practice the void. We also connect these ideas to modern overload—constant notifications, social feeds, and AI—and map out how to remove noise so your best thinking can surface. If you've ever felt like you're pouring an ocean of complexity into a teacup, this conversation offers a sturdier bowl and a calmer hand.If the ideas resonate, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a quick review—what will you remove this week to make room for meaning?
In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, hosted by Richard C. Wilson, we sit down with Isabelle Cloud of the Nathan Family Office to explore how a first-generation real estate fortune evolved into a global venture capital powerhouse. With over 300 venture investments, 100+ real estate transactions, and ownership of an entire California town, Isabelle shares how their single family office strategically blends hard assets with high-growth innovation — and why allocating even 1–2% to venture can create outsized returns. Inside this conversation: How real estate wealth became a 300-startup VC portfolio Why early-stage investing (with warrants) is outperforming their real estate holdings The power of negotiation leverage in seed-stage deals Building trust before pitching billion-dollar family offices Why data centers and AI infrastructure may be the next multi-billion-dollar opportunity The vision behind transforming Copper Valley into an AI-powered hub Expanding globally: Why India is their next venture capital frontier Isabelle also shares candid lessons on partnership risk, due diligence, domain expertise, and how curiosity — even in your 80s — fuels generational wealth creation. From e-sports to AI infrastructure to hydrogen-powered data centers, this episode explores how bold family offices think long-term, move early, and build at scale. If you're a founder, capital raiser, or investor looking to understand how modern family offices deploy capital across real estate, venture, and frontier infrastructure — this conversation is packed with insight.

Expanding Your Vessel by Dr. Pam Legate
For one hour on stage, I only have one problem in my life. What if you could find something that does that for you? Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor answers a question he was asked after a recent keynote: What is it like on your side of the stage? Public speaking is often labeled as the number one fear in the world. But Baylor challenges the idea that fear is universal. Many fears are borrowed. Many limitations come from opinions, polls, or statistics that never actually included you. Instead of asking whether something is scary, ask whether you're looking at it through the right lens. One of the fastest ways to overcome fear is immersion. When Baylor trains for extreme endurance events, he surrounds himself with people who love the grind. The workout doesn't get easier, but the perspective changes. Passion shifts perception. When you're around people who love something, you begin to see it as opportunity instead of threat. On stage, Baylor explains that the real gift isn't applause or ego. It's focus. For that hour, he has one job: make the audience's time worth it. Everything else fades. No distractions. No noise. Just one problem to solve. That clarity is peace. He challenges listeners to find the activity in their own life where everything else disappears. The thing that pulls you into the moment so fully that your world narrows down to one objective. Finally, Baylor reflects on the art of reading the room. Adjusting. Expanding when people lean in. Pulling back when they drift. Creating rhythm. It's not about performing at people. It's about connecting with them. The deeper message: everyone has a story. Everyone has something that could impact someone else. The question isn't whether you're capable. It's whether you're willing to step into it. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why many fears are borrowed from others How immersion shifts perception The power of narrowing your focus to one problem Why passion eliminates distraction How connection creates impact Why your story matters more than you think Featured Quote "When you find the thing that makes everything else fade away, you've found your lane."
The Farm Family TableâHomesteading, Homemaking, Christian Mom
I think almost every mom who is trying to cook more from scratch runs into this at some point: you get comfortable with a handful of meals… and then you kind of stall out. You have some great recipes, but when it comes to trying something new? It can feel mentally exhausting or just plain risky. Like if this recipe doesn't turn out, that's dinner and there aren't a lot of second chances on a busy Tuesday night with hungry kids. In this episode we talk about how to expand your recipe box without stress. Not by turning your kitchen into a test kitchen or trying five new Pinterest meals a week. But by working on growing your confidence in the kitchen, learning how to tweak what you already know, and building a solid repertoire that works for your real life. If you've ever felt stuck cooking the same five meals on repeat, this episode is for you. Thanks for listening!

She co-founded Green Goo with her mother and sister in a small farmhouse kitchen, hand-crafting herbal salves that grew into a nationally distributed plant-based first aid brand carried in over 120,000 stores. With a background in biology, pre-med studies, and a Master's in Health Psychology, Jodi bridges traditional herbal medicine with modern science, focusing on clean healing, nervous system resilience, and reducing everyday endocrine disruptors. Her work emphasizes how small, thoughtful inputs compound over time, in health, leadership, and family systems. Jodi has lived every role inside a family business: product formulator, order packer, marketer, executive, and daughter. After selling Green Goo and later navigating a complex buyback to reclaim the company, she brings rare firsthand insight into continuity, conflict, trust, and alignment across generations. Today, Jodi works alongside her family running operations from their Colorado farm while mentoring other founders on building values-driven businesses that prioritize people, purpose, and long-term resilience. Her work sits at the intersection of wellness, entrepreneurship, and conscious family leadership.

There's a pressure you've been feeling lately. A quiet sense that your current results, identity, or life no longer fit who you're capable of becoming. And here's the truth most people don't want to admit: growth doesn't feel like confidence — it feels like discomfort. Expansion feels like uncertainty. It feels like being stretched. It feels like something has to change… but you're not sure what. In this episode, I break down what expansion really requires. Not just chasing bigger goals — but becoming the person capable of holding bigger goals. Because you can't expand while protecting the identity that created your current results. In this episode, you'll learn: Why growth begins with discomfort — not clarity How holding onto what's familiar is secretly suffocating your expansion Why your current identity is producing your current results The lobster molting metaphor and how it applies to your life and performance How to create energetic capacity for success through release Four powerful reflection questions to identify what you must let go of One simple but bold action step to initiate your next level If you want lower scores, greater success, more impact, more peace, or more freedom — this conversation will challenge you to let go before you level up. Expansion isn't about getting more. It's about becoming more. Get your pencils ready and start listening.

Instagram: @thepaulsalter Key Takeaways: Growth begins with discomfort, not clarity — the pressure you feel is evidence you've outgrown your current identity. You must release before you receive — expansion requires letting go of old beliefs, habits, and commitments to create space for more. Your current identity is producing your current results — different outcomes require becoming a different person at the core. Expansion includes a period of vulnerability — temporary uncertainty is the price of increased capacity. Expansion is a lifelong cycle — pressure, release, reorganization, and greater capacity repeat at every new level. Key Quotes: "Growth does not begin with clarity. It begins with discomfort." "The life you want cannot fit inside the identity you're currently protecting." "Holding on to what is familiar suffocates growth." "The shell that once protected you eventually becomes the shell that limits you." "Expansion begins the moment you stop protecting who you were and start building who you're becoming."

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, Arundhati Parmar interviews Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, about Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and the long-standing regulatory classification that places testosterone as a Schedule III controlled substance. Shah explains that testosterone was scheduled in 1990 following Olympic doping scandals — despite opposition at the time from the FDA, DEA, and the American Medical Association. More than 30 years later, he argues that the regulatory framework no longer reflects current clinical evidence and may be doing more harm than good. The conversation explores: The scientific evidence surrounding cardiovascular and prostate safety The differences between injectable and oral testosterone therapies The stigma and logistical barriers created by controlled substance status How GLP-1 drugs intersect with hormone health and muscle preservation The possibility of expanding testosterone therapy access to women Whether the current regulatory environment may revisit testosterone scheduling At its core, this episode examines whether testosterone is being regulated based on outdated controversy rather than modern clinical science — and what that means for patients navigating care today.

A Note from James:In the first episode with Dr. Nicole McNichols, we talked about chemistry, myths, and why communication matters more than performance. This episode goes deeper—into biology, anatomy, dopamine, desire, and the mechanics of pleasure.There are a lot of myths around sex. Some are cultural. Some are Hollywood. Some come from bad science. And some just come from silence.This conversation gets specific. We talk about orgasm, desire, scheduling sex, the so-called “missionary problem,” novelty in long-term relationships, and why so much of what we assume about men and women sexually just isn't true.If Part 1 was about mindset, Part 2 is about understanding how sex actually works.Episode Description:What actually happens in the body during orgasm? Why does anticipation sometimes feel better than the act itself? And why are so many of our beliefs about sex simply wrong?In Part 2 of this three-part series, Dr. Nicole McNichols breaks down the biology of desire, the science of orgasm, and the myths that quietly sabotage long-term relationships.She explains why dopamine peaks during anticipation, why consistency—not intensity—is often key to orgasm, and why “missionary” might be underrated. They explore the anatomy of the clitoris (including research only fully mapped in 2006), the orgasm gap, responsive vs. spontaneous desire, and why scheduling intimacy can actually increase desire.This episode reframes sex not as performance, but as collaboration—an evolving, communicative process rooted in curiosity and growth.What You'll Learn:Why dopamine spikes during anticipation—and how to avoid the post-expectation letdownThe difference between spontaneous and responsive desire (for both men and women)Why consistency is physiologically critical during orgasmThe science behind the orgasm gap and what actually closes itWhy scheduling intimacy can increase frequency and desire—not kill spontaneityTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] No One Craves Bad Sex & The Myth of “Boring” Positions[00:03:18] Previously on Part 1: Porn Myths & Feeling Wanted[00:04:00] Chemistry, Pheromones & The Role of Safety[00:06:00] Sexual Growth Mindset & Compatibility[00:08:00] Fireworks vs. Communication[00:10:00] Anatomy, Diversity of Touch & The Clitoris Explained[00:12:00] Scripts, Feedback & How to Talk During Sex[00:17:00] Novelty, Micro-Novelty & Preventing Boredom[00:19:00] Wanting, Liking & Learning: The Pleasure Cycle[00:23:00] Expanding the Definition of Sex[00:25:00] The “Sex Recession” & Frequency Myths[00:27:00] Planning Intimacy & Scheduling Sex[00:31:00] Why Missionary Deserves a Rebrand[00:34:00] Internal Anatomy, the Clitoral Complex & Size Myths[00:39:00] What Is an Orgasm, Physiologically?[00:45:00] The Orgasm Gap & Why Fingering Matters[00:47:00] Consistency vs. “Faster & Harder”[00:49:00] Masturbation Myths & No Nut November[00:51:00] Refractory Period & Aging[00:55:00] Multiple Orgasms & What Research Shows[01:00:00] Love, Orientation & Novelty in Long-Term RelationshipsAdditional Resources:You Could Be Having Better SexNicole McNicholsHelen O'Connell – Research mapping full clitoral anatomy (MRI studies)Beverly Whipple – Orgasm research & physiological studiesA Moveable Feast – Referenced during discussionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
