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.

They discuss how hardcore pornography has distorted the way a generation of young men thinks about sex, the importance of good sexual values and good sexual behavior, the demand for real intimacy in porn, the awkwardness and messiness of social sex, the institutional boycotting of adult content, and more.

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.

My guest today is Cindy Gallop or Lucinda Lee Gallop. And she is quite something! I wanted to have Cindy on the show, because she engaged on a psychedelic journey (with 62) not because of mental health reasons. She embarked on a truffle journey, just out of very simple curiosity. And lust for life. And resetting perspectives. To me Cindy's case also has an element for future ideas around longevity: what happens, if we keep our brain young? And how will this affect our body? Cindy says about herself to be “boringly drug resistant” but after her experience , things, aka her life changed. Cindy says. “ What it did just reinforce for me was a sense of history and the broadness of humanity. And the importance in the future, looking into the void, of finding light and connections.” Cindy Gallop I would say, is a real de-stigmatisation pro, a genius if it comes to tell it like things are. And then make them market ready. You guessed it, Cindy was an incredible advertiser, a female Don Draper, and we had many conversations over dinner about the rebranding or re-naming of psychedelics. Cindy studied English literature at Oxford University, receiving an MA in English language and literature. She was an English advertising consultant, founder and former chair of the US branch of advertising firm Bartle Bogle Hegarty, worked on accounts like Coca Cola, Ray Ban and Polaroid, In 2003, Gallop won the Advertising Woman of the Year award from Advertising Women of New York She is also the the founder of the companies IfWeRanTheWorld and MakeLoveNotPorn. According to the TED blog, Gallop's TEDTalk "Make Love Not Porn" was one of the "most talked about presentations'' at the 2009 TED conference. She founded her own brand and business innovation consultancy, Cindy Gallop LLC, in 2006. https://makelovenotporn.tv/ https://cindygallop.com/
Making change means taking creative action to solve a social problem and my guest for this episode of Camera Ready & Abel, Cindy Gallop, Founder & CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn, is making change to how we think about sexual values and behaviors in her necessary and trailblazing platform. The tagline reads: Pro-sex. Pro-porn. Pro-knowing the difference and Cindy goes deep pointing out we are raised by our parents to behave well with good manners, a work ethic, sense of responsibility and accountability but we are rarely taught to behave well in bed with values like empathy, sensitivity, generosity, kindness, honesty and respect. Key takeaways: Everything starts with living your values Realize what matters shared values plus shared action equals shared profit, both financial and social. Cindy, like so many of my guests, is an accidental entrepreneur - and thriving. Cindy Gallop is a graduate of Somerville College, Oxford, whose background is 35 years in brand-building, marketing and advertising - she started up the US office of ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty in New York in 1998 and in 2003 was named Advertising Woman of the Year.

Is hardcore porn preparing children and young people for a good sex life? According to the American Psychology Association, the largest consumers of internet porn are 12 to 17 year-olds. On today's podcast, we talk to an advertising industry veteran and entrepreneur who is not afraid to talk about sex education and to stand up for good real-world sex, Cindy Gallop.Cindy is the founder of the MakeLoveNotPorn website which she launched with a TED Talk in 2009. Her four minute talk quickly and unexpectedly went viral. It currently has over 2.6m views on YouTube. It elevated Cindy into a needed social discourse that is too often hushed. MakeLoveNotPorn is a social sextech platform designed to promote good sexual behavior and good sexual values by showing good real-world sex. It's mission is to promote honest and open conversations about sex through the dynamic of social media. It's vision is a “social sex revolution”. Content is carefully curated and revenue is shared with contributors.Cindy started the site after she started to see a trend in the young men she dated. Men were behaving badly in bed. They equated good sex with memes from harcore porn. She looked around and realised that hardcore porn had converged with society's unwillingness to talk about sex education. She wanted to create a platform that showed the joy of real-world sex: consentual and communicative. A decade on from LoveNotPorn's launch, we talk to Cindy about why she started the platform, what has changed over that time, what needs to change still, and how we can be that change.Today's Guest: Cindy GallopLucinda “Cindy” Gallop was born in the UK. She earned a Master's in English Language and Literature from Oxford University. She began her career as a theatre publicist but moved into the world of advertising, where she has built a stellar 36 year career.In 1989, she joined the growing advertising firm Bartle Bogle Hegarty. In 1996, she moved to Singapore to start and run BBH's Asia-Pacific office, which included clients like Levi's. In 1998 she started the US branch. By 2002, the branch was named Adweek's Eastern Agency of the Year, and in 2003, she was named Advertising Woman of the Year. Building on this success, she was appointed to the position of Chairman and President for BBH in the US. Today, she works as an expert consultant in advertising and in her spare time is trying to make the world a better place. She has founded two influential online platforms: IfWeRanTheWorld (paying it forward with micro-actions) and MakeLoveNotPorn.Website: cindygallop.comFacebook: cindy.gallopTwitter: @cindygallopLinkedIn:cindygallop“At MakeLoveNotPorn we show you how wonderful, great consentual and communicative sex is in the real world.”“The only way you educate people as to what is great consentual and communicative sex, good sex, and good sexual behaviour is by watching people having that type of sex”You'll learnHer journey with #makelovenotporn – why it began and why she sincerely believes our values and stories around sex should be a National priorityHow she approaches – and handles herself – as a leader in the multitude of moments where all doors are being slammed shutThe impact of the porn industry – and how two dimensional and disconnected a conversation becomes - when you exclude 50% of the participants.The concept of micro-actions – and why they hold the key to any sustainable change or momentum – including her recommendation for the No.1 micro-action we can all take to completely change the trajectory of our lives.And finally – what she's learned about talking about taboos – and how much one moment can change your life.“Everyone of us can change the world in tiny tiny ways, every single day”References and links mentionedMakelovenotporn.tvIfWeRanTheWorldCindy's original 2009 Ted TalkThe Influencer CodeSubscribe to and Review the Inside Influence PodcastThanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

Julie and Casey sit down with Cindy Gallop to learn the secret to saying what you really think. Along the way they discuss all kinds of "taboo" subjects, including ageism, anger, the future of porn and social sex, what the tech bros get so very wrong, why Cindy can't get funding for her world-changing startup, and how she plans to bring about world peace. TOP TAKEAWAYS — Be your own filter to attract “your” people and repel the ones who don’t get you. The future of business is doing good and making money simultaneously. Her company, Make Love/Not Porn, came out of her real-life experience with the consequences of the convergence of two real world problems: our inability to talk about sex, and the ubiquitousness of access to hard core pornography. Her giant goal is to socialize real world sex and good sexual practices and values, so that we can talk about it both in public and in private. When you concept a venture around existing bias and prejudices, you only reenforce them. You have to build the future into your product from the beginning, and you design with enormous respect for your community. Ageism affects EVERYONE at every single point along the age spectrum. “Sexual harassment has kept out of leadership and power the women leaders who would MAKE diversity and inclusion happen”—and it’s time to both legitimize women’s anger and encourage men to get angry about it too. Identify your values so that you can act upon them - then, instead of worrying about being brave or feeling confident, you simply act in the way that honors that. Women should “bullshit like the men do”, because chances are, you’ll just finally be giving your talent, experience, and brilliance what they’re worth. VITAL VOICE TRAINING COMMUNICATION SKILL: Define your communication core values to understand your habits and make powerful choices to show up the way you want to be seen in the world.

Cindy Gallop took a risk when she entered advertising, and hasn't stopped taking them since. She began her early career in the UK as a theater publicist, until an audience member declared that she could "sell ice to an Eskimo," and advised her to make the jump to advertising. Four years later, she joined one of the fastest growing agencies in Europe, Bartle Bogle Hegarty. In 1998, she moved to New York, alone, and began building their US branch. Four years after that move, BBH US was named Adweek's Eastern Agency of the Year. After all her success in the agency world, Gallop resigned as chairman of BBH in 2005 to do something different. Today, she continues to work in branding and advertising as a consultant, but is also tending some fascinating projects of her own. She launched MakeLoveNotPorn at TED2009, in an attempt to squash the myths of hardcore pornography and to begin a dialog around how real people have sex. In January 2010, Gallop will officially launch IfWeRanTheWorld, a simple, web platform designed to bring together human good intentions and corporate good intentions, and turn them into collective action.

If you want to feel like you can do anything and take on the world, this podcast delivers a real hit of useful and real advice. Our talk focuses on Cindy's career post-BBH, with the creation of MakeLoveNotPorn and her own struggles and learnings as a sextech founder. Cindy is real, authentic and holds no punches - with a great mix of class and humour. Some amazing lessons in here. You can follow Cindy @cindygallop and @makelovenotporn on Twitter. Cindy Gallop has turned an illustrious advertising career into a lifelong pursuit of changing the world, her way – one daring project after another. After all her success in the agency world, Cindy resigned as Chairman of BBH New York in 2005 in order to do something different. Today she continues to work in branding, marketing and business innovation as a consultant while also operating at the cutting edge of digital and the internet as a tech entrepreneur. She launched MakeLoveNotPorn at TED 2009 with this talk as an attempt to counterpoint the way in which hardcore porn has become default sex education, by encouraging an open healthy dialogue around how real people have sex, and will take this forwards in 2012 as MakeLoveNotPorn TV. In 2011 she published ‘Make Love Not Porn: Technology’s Hardcore Impact on Human Behavior’ as a short TED e-book available on Amazon and iTunes. As a highly action-oriented person, Cindy observed that the single biggest pool of untapped natural resource in this world, is good intentions – both human and corporate – that never translate into action. She launched IfWeRanTheWorld at TED 2010 as the marketing and business platform of the future, to turn human and corporate good intentions into collective action, one microaction at a time, to deliver– you are what you do – and build your Action Graph. Harvard Business School considers IfWeRanTheWorld such a ‘unique and innovative business model’ they wrote it up and taught it as a case study in March 2011 when it was only a year old in beta. Cindy has a significant reputation as a highly compelling and inspirational speaker at events and conferences all around the world. Cindy’s 30 years of experience in brandbuilding, marketing and entrepreneurialism, combined with a razor-sharp analytical mind, wide-ranging business experience, future-forward approach to technology, a compellingly charismatic presence and a uniquely inspirational approach, equip her perfectly to address the theme of leadership and inventing the future across a range of business sectors.
Cindy Gallop is one of the most brilliant and controversial minds in advertising today. Starting as a theatre publicist in the UK, she went on to forge a 30 years career in brandbuilding, marketing and entrepreneurialism, as well as launching a number of provocative platforms including IfWeRanTheWorld and MakeLoveNotPorn. Never shy to throw a few punches, her Twitter bio reads simply: ‘I like to blow shit up. I am the Michael Bay of business.’ From the elevated surroundings of her New York penthouse apartment, I was to find out just how many industries, companies and professions were, according to Cindy, long overdue a serve of disruption and re-invention.

"Crazy is what the rest of the world would be if they weren't so afraid of what other people think." Cindy Gallop is Founder and CEO of IfWeRanTheWorld a radically simple web-meets-world platform designed to turn good intentions into action; one microaction at a time and Founder of MakeLoveNotPorn a non judgemental open forum that encourages everyone to decide for themselves what they like doing because there is no ‘norm.’ Cindy is Board Advisor at Behance, the world’s leading platform for creative professionals across all industries to showcase and discover creative work and Founder at Cindy Gallop LLC consulting for clients and brands who want to change the game in their particular sector. She does radical, innovative, groundbreaking, transformative; she doesn’t do status quo. She likes to blow shit up and is the Michael Bay of business.
Cindy Gallop believes we can all make the world a better place through micro actions. One of her start ups Make Love Not Porn is trying to change the business of sex. This is the second time I’ve had the chance to listen to Cindy Gallop’s thoughts about the world. And just as last time I leave her talk with a boost of energy and new ideas of what’s next. In her talk at Webbdagarna in Stockholm she emphasizes the importance of sleep. If you want to be the best at what you do, make sure to get enough sleep. One of her initiatives Make Love Not Porn is a controversial video sharing site with sex videos made by your average citizen. She started this project when she realized that young people didn’t learn about sex through sex education, but rather from porn. This creates a false narrative of how the real sexual world really works. She explains the tagline of Make Love Not Porn as ”pro sex, pro porn, pro know the difference”. By making it easier to talk about sex, she wants to create a more equal and open world. What I like most with her talks is the way she’s constantly enabling every persons ability to change the world – and how she stresses that we must do it in a gender equal way. Her other startup IfWeRanTheWorld is a project to encourage people and businesses to turn good intentions into actions. She talks about micro actions, and getting things done. How can we, as persons, change the world? All the small things together can create a revolution. Full transcript: http://matter.se/cyndi-gallop-clear-vision-do-good-porn-make-money-repeat
