Today's episode is with my friend Susan Bratton, who is an intimacy expert with 20 years of experience. She runs a publishing company called Better Lover, and has a supplement company called The 20. Her expertise is in ageless sexuality, sexual biohacking, libido supplementation, and sexual regenerative therapies that roll back the clock on aging.Whether you're a man or a woman, you'll learn the specific things you can do to change the performance, the shape, the sensitivity, and the longevity of this amazing part of your body. All life on earth—human and otherwise—runs through the same set of automated decision making that happens before your brain even gets engaged, one of which is what we'll be talking about today, which keeps the species alive forever. Let's call it fertility. It is actually a source of nourishment for us. So when you're of the appropriate age, this is as important as eating, breathing and drinking water. Yet, we pay more attention to our food than we do to our reproductive and recreational sides of staying connected to our humanness. That's why Susan's on the show today. She shares the science behind the link between intimacy and longevity, explains how to prevent atrophy in these important areas of our bodies, dispels myths about self-pleasure, gives a tutorial on all kinds of toys that can increase function and pleasure for all genders, and lists tips for creating more connection and communication in the bedroom.

Join us for a rich and stimulating conversation about what our guest, Carolyn Arnold, calls her “dating experiment.” She takes us through her process of setting up the experiment, and we get a peek into the valuable lessons she learned as she set out to date 50 different people after she had turned 50 years old. Kate and Haje also share some of their dating experiences and we explore what it would be like to shift the focus of dating and our assumed goals. Carolyn Lee Arnold drew upon her thirty years as a social science researcher and ten years as a relationship workshop assistant with the Human Awareness Institute to create the dating project in Fifty First Dates after Fifty, which is the title of her first book. Carolyn lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her partner, one of her fifty dates. For more information, including dating resources, visit CarolynLeeArnold.com.

Do you hate change, or love it? - It depends whether the change is imposed (like tax) or chosen (like marriage) - Philip Cox-Hynd I reached out to Philip via LinkedIn and was delighted he agreed to be the show. This podcast was serendipitously inspiring, Philip provided a master class in his approach to change management with key lessons we can apply to our own lives. Philip's approach is refreshing as it turns on its head the outdated and sadly still practiced change transformation methodologies that rely heavily on top-down power, enforced and disempowering change initiatives. Instead, Philips approach is bringing about 'Change by Choice' by: Vision: Developing and communicating a vision clearly and often, so everyone could see what the future held. Power: Establishing a powerful guiding coalition, involving all those people who had a hold on the reins. Engagement: Enthusing staff to choose to be agents of change by first nurturing mindfulness and then spotlighting the gap to be crossed. Involvement: Organising volunteers to draw up and be advocates for a change manifesto. People support what they help create. Measurement: Setting early-win and longer-term goals and validating progress promptly in line with their fast-response culture. Philip implemented this approach at Ella's Kitchen now worth £100m, whose founder commended our change management for setting them up to continue their exceptional growth in "a better-managed and more focused way." PHILIP'S BACKGROUND Based in Henley-on-Thames UK, Harley Young is an implementational consultancy, comprised of change gladiators! The co-founder, Philip Cox-Hynd, dovetails his expertise in human development with strategy and process improvement. In the human development field, his expertise was gained leading public seminars for Exegesis (the UK version of Landmark Forum) in the 1980s, working with the Human Awareness Institute of California, as well as collaborating with John Grinder, co-formulator of NLP. Philip combined this expertise with insights gained working with the inventors of business process re-engineering, work on strategy at Henley Business School UK, as well as hands-on experience on client projects over 25 years, delivering lasting corporate change. This combination led to Philip becoming a strategic and cultural change management expert and, through his company, Harley Young, he has designed and implemented growth-led change programs for large and small corporations such as Barclays, Pfizer, Microsoft, Arup and Ella's Kitchen. Philip is a Vipassana meditator - Vipassana is the origin of mindfulness - and he started this discipline in 2003, continuing to this day. In 2019, Philip authored a book Mindfulness and the Art of Change by Choice: Radical Leadership for Managing Change. A must-read for anyone seeking to master change.   Sit back, tune in and enjoy, this podcast will make your life Boom!
