Rich is going to talk about a topic that's near and dear to his heart… but that hasn't really gotten much air time on this podcast. And that topic is INNOVATION. RIch has come up with about 15 or 20 different what he calls Innovation Formulas…. Which are practical ways to get your brain started thinking in different directions that it's used to going. Today's episode is the most fundamental, foundational innovation formula of all, and it's called The Magic Wand. Basically, if you could put a magic wand in your customer's hand, and she could change anything she wanted to about you company or your industry, what would she change? Rich will go through several examples for several industries… including yours.

In this episode live recording of Sex With Emily, I break down what's really getting in the way of your pleasure, from the way most of us were taught about sex to why so many people feel disconnected, pressured, or stuck in their heads during intimacy. I explain how performance-based thinking replaces sensation, why desire changes over time, and what it actually takes to build trust with your body again. We also get into how to communicate what you want with a partner, how to bridge the gap between solo pleasure and partnered sex, and why slowing down is the key to feeling more present and connected. If you've ever felt like something is off in your sex life or struggled to relax and enjoy it, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and how to create more confidence, clarity, and pleasure moving forward.

I know what you're thinking. Missionary? Really? But hear me out,  because I genuinely believe missionary might be the most underrated position in existence, and the reason most people are bored by it has nothing to do with the position itself. It has everything to do with what they're not doing in it. In this episode, I'm breaking down every missionary myth, sharing the techniques that actually work for clitoral stimulation during penetration, and answering your listener's questions on everything from G-spot orgasms to asking your partner to bend you over the kitchen table. In this episode, you'll learn:  • Why the porn version of penetrative sex works for only about 30% of vulva owners and what the rest of us actually need to get there, including the CAT technique that makes missionary the best position for clitoral stimulation  • How to tell your partner you want them to dominate you, talk dirty, and bring more intensity to sex without making them feel like they've been doing it wrong this whole time  • Why incorporating a vibrator into partnered sex is one of the best things you can do for your sex life, and how to ask for it even if you're a people pleaser who's spent years putting everyone else's comfort before your own pleasure This Episode is sponsored by...

Instead of just building a shiny new dashboard on top of legacy platforms, she decided to completely replace the offshore accounting model with AI.In this episode, Helen breaks down how she raised a $4.7M seed round pre-product as a solo founder and why she chose to build an AI-enabled service instead of pure software.

This week's episode is about an underrated -- and often misreprensented -- asset for pleasure: lingerie! Lingerie can make you feel powerful, beautiful, and sensual, even if you're not with a cishet male partner, or any partner at all! In this episode, DB speaks with Emily Bendell, founder of Bluebella, one of the greatest lingerie brands DB's found yet! GUEST DETAILSBluebella was born from a simple idea to create luxurious and sensual lingerie for self-assured women. Founded on the belief that strength and sensuality belong in the everyday, Bluebella understands that beautiful lingerie sets a powerful tone for whatever comes next. Bluebella is a multi-award winning brand that has paved the way for accessible luxury in the lingerie industry. Graduating from the University of Oxford, Bluebella's founder Emily Bendell had a stint in legal journalism before turning her love for lingerie into a business. Seeking to create a new language around contemporary lingerie, Emily launched Bluebella with a mission to re-write what it means to be sensual for the modern woman. "Our vision is to re-imagine sensual lingerie as something owned for ourselves. To us, lingerie is a personal self-expression of individual style and spirit. I wanted to create a brand and product that was considered, confident, and true to our experience of wearing lingerie."

Send a textWhat if the best marketing isn't a silver bullet but a well-practiced routine that wins attention, builds trust, and creates real momentum? We sit down with Jimmy Gibson—a magician-turned-marketer—to unpack how stagecraft maps to standout messaging, community presence, and measurable growth for home service businesses. From the first spark of curiosity to a satisfying “reveal,” you'll hear how a performer's discipline becomes a practical playbook for brand building.We kick off by ditching the chase for the next big thing and grounding strategy in a simple, durable architecture. Jimmy breaks down Google's EEAT—experience, expertise, authority, trustworthiness—and shows why algorithms and humans both reward owner-led content, first-hand stories, and reviews that cite real people. You'll learn why even 10 thoughtful LinkedIn posts a year can lift leads and deal sizes, and how personal branding turns logos into living proof.Then we dive into a five-finger content framework you can use anytime you're stuck: the pinky promise that sets your guarantee and risk reversal, the ring finger that signals long-term commitment, the middle finger that names your villain, the pointer that aims at your ideal customer, and the thumb that defines success with a clear before-and-after. We extend it to your thumbprint—the lasting mark you leave on customers, team, and community—that no competitor can clone.If you're new and hustling, we lay out a starter path: lock down your website and Google Business Profile, consider Local Services Ads, and get active in your community through events, partnerships, and service days that spark referrals and pride. Use AI as an accelerant to your voice, not a crutch for generic posts. Measure each tactic with a simple thumbs up or down: did it drive calls, bookings, reviews, or repeat work?The real wand is consistency. Show up as the owner, teach what you know, highlight your team, and keep the cadence. Ready to turn curiosity into clients and leave a stronger thumbprint? Follow the show, share this episode with a fellow contractor, and leave a quick review—your feedback helps more local businesses find the tools to grow.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.

If you could order a presidential administration to do one specific thing to improve the lives of working people — what would it be? At Democracy Journal's recent conference in Washington, DC, Nick and Goldy heard some of the country's leading economic thinkers take their best shot at that magic-wand question: one idea, three minutes, no BS.  The result is a rapid-fire lineup of bold proposals — from fixing Social Security and raising wages to reclaiming time, strengthening unions, and rethinking what “affordability” really means. This week, we're sharing some of our favorites with you. This episode is a quick policy lightning round packed with big ideas, sharp arguments, and plenty to discuss. Elizabeth Garlow is a Senior Fellow at New America focused on economic policy and the future of work, with research centered on time, caregiving, and policies that improve everyday economic security. Jim Kessler is the Executive Vice President for Policy at Third Way, where he works on economic reforms aimed at expanding wealth-building opportunities and retirement security for working families. Thea Lee is a visiting fellow at American University and a longtime labor economist specializing in worker rights, trade policy, and labor standards in global supply chains. Heidi Shierholtz is president of the Economic Policy Institute, where she focuses on wage growth, labor markets, and policies that strengthen workers' bargaining power and reduce inequality.

In this New Year's episode, Rob Nelson and Eric Thompson unpack one of the most powerful, and deceptively simple, Ninja coaching tools: "If you could wave your magic wand…" What sounds playful on the surface is actually a strategic question that fosters psychological safety, removes invisible limits, and enables people to access what they truly want without fear, risk, or "yeah-but" thinking. Rob and Eric explain how the magic wand question puts people into a pretend state where there's no ceiling and no consequences, allowing clarity, emotion, and authentic motivation to surface. They explore how the tool applies to business planning for 2026, coaching oneself through challenging moments, and guiding clients to make better decisions in emotionally charged transactions. The episode also delves into how the magic wand works in real estate, uncovering genuine priorities for buyers and sellers, anchoring clients back to their original "why" during negotiations, and helping agents build trust by asking questions that go beyond must-haves and logistics. Eric shares his personal magic wand goal—buying a home in the Colorado mountains—and connects it to Ninja's broader framework of designing life first, then setting goals to fund it. They close by tying the concept to the Ninja "Word of the Year" as an anchor for focus and growth in 2026. Key Takeaways The Magic Wand Creates Possibility: It removes ceilings and risk, quiets defensive thinking, and unlocks clearer, more creative truth. Pretend State = Psychological Safety: Clients (and you) feel safe to share what they want, not just what seems practical or "reasonable." Clarity Beats Logic Lists: With buyers, the magic wand gets you beyond "must-haves" into how they want to live—which reveals what matters most. Meaning Fuels Motivation: Goals aren't about transactions or income—they're about the emotion and life those outcomes create. Anchor Back During Conflict: In inspection drama or negotiation gridlock, the magic wand helps clients reconnect to the bigger purpose and regain perspective. Coach Yourself the Same Way: When you feel bogged down, return to your magic wand vision, ask "Has anything changed?", then recommit with clarity. Use "Tell Me More About That": This follow-up deepens meaning and uncovers the real "why" beneath the goal. Works Beyond Real Estate: It's a powerful conversation starter with spouses, kids, friends, and teams, helping people dream out loud. Word of the Year as an Anchor: A single word can reconnect you to your magic wand vision and align your mindset, skillset, and actions. Memorable Quotes "It's cute, but it is really powerful." "In a pretend state, there's no ceiling and there's no risk." "It diffuses the little voice that says, 'Yeah, but…' and 'What if…'" "It's not about the property. It's about what it means." "What's on the other side isn't a number; it's an emotion." "Begin with the end in mind." "Tell me more about that." "Buying or selling a home is emotional, even if people insist that it's not." "Your word of the year can be the ultimate anchor." "My word of the year is Elevate."

In this very different -- and very difficult -- episode, DB sits down with Mia Schachter of Consent Wizardry to talk all about consent. But what DB gets is not what she expected. Please note that this episode contains difficult and potentially triggering conversations around consent. This episode touches on discussions and experiences of consent violations, as well as a perspective that might trigger feelings or memories of victim blaming for some listeners. Be sure to listen through the Pleasure Preview and Afterglow of this episode, where DB talks about her perspectives on consent and this conversation, as well as giving some vital resources. Please do not seek out our guest from this episode for any form of harassment or criticism based on this episode or on behalf of Sex Ed with DB. Online or not, harassment, bullying, and dogpiling are never okay, and we don't condone it.

Welcome to episode 199 and a big announcement! After nearly four years of never missing a Monday since launching in April 2022, we're taking a brief hiatus. But before we go, we're pulling back the curtain on everything: why we failed our big 2025 goal to double our podcast downloads, what we're learning about the difference between goal setting and feeling setting, and how the Odyssey Plan from Stanford's Design Lab is reshaping the next chapter of She Sells He Sells (and our lives). If you've ever wondered whether it's time to stay the course, take a calculated risk, or blow it all up and start fresh—this episode is your roadmap. Plus, Brian announces a major career change after 20 years in health tech, and we get real about midlife pivots, entrepreneurship journey, and what it means to experience failure without being a failure. Listen in to hear: Why Brian's back after his "forced vacation" from the Acorn HR team The profound message guiding our 2026 pivot: "All of us contain more liveliness than one lifetime permits" Why we failed our goal to double podcast downloads in 2025 and what we learned The Michael Phelps principle: Why people who achieve great things aren't necessarily better than you Our big announcement: Taking our first Monday break since launching and what's changing The Odyssey Plan from Stanford Design Lab explained: 3 scenarios for designing your next 5 years Scenario 1 (Status Quo), Scenario 2 (Calculated Risk), and Scenario 3 (Magic Wand)—and how to know which is right for you Brian's major career announcement leaving health tech after 20 years Why this is called "Odyssey Planning" not "Finish Line Planning" The danger of hyper-focused goal setting and why it makes you miss incredible opportunities Dave Evans' simple formula: Get curious. Talk to people. Try stuff. Tell your story. PRO TIP after listening: Try the Odyssey Plan exercise this week. Map out your three scenarios for the next 5 years, rate them on excitement level (feelings, not logistics!), and identify one small step toward the scenario that feels most alive. We're coming back in Q1 2026 with Episode 200, a fresh format, and bigger ideas. Want to help shape what's next? DM us @shesellshesellspodcast and tell us what you want more (or less) of!

In this profound conversation, Dr. Daniel Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and bestselling author—shares groundbreaking insights on parenting, brain development, and human flourishing.Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the world's leading experts on interpersonal neurobiology and author of influential books including "The Developing Mind," "Parenting from the Inside Out," "The Whole-Brain Child," and "Mindsight." His work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice.THE CORE PRINCIPLE: INTEGRATIONDaniel Siegel introduces the foundational concept governing well-being across all scales—from neurons to nations.Integration means honoring differences (differentiation) while creating connections (linkage). When integration is blocked, we experience chaos, rigidity, or both. The revolutionary equation: integrative relationships create integrated brains, which generate resilient minds, meaningful relationships, and flourishing lives.TEMPERAMENT VS. PERSONALITY: THE NEUROSCIENCEDr. Siegel reveals cutting-edge research on how temperament—rooted in brain stem connectivity formed in the womb—differs from personality. Temperament is inborn (not necessarily genetic) and characterised by sensitivity and intensity across three core motivational drives: Agency (embodied empowerment), Bonding (relational connection), and Certainty (predictability and safety). Personality develops as we adapt our temperament through experience, particularly attachment relationships.THE BEST PREDICTOR OF CHILD OUTCOMESThe most powerful finding in attachment research: how parents make sense of their own life history predicts their child's development better than what actually happened to them. PRACTICAL PARENTING WISDOMLearn the "4 S's" framework—how children need to be Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure. Discover why humans evolved for "alloparenting" with multiple caregivers. Understand the COAL state of mind (Curious, Open, Accepting, Loving) when navigating challenging behaviors.NINE DOMAINS OF INTEGRATIONDr. Siegel explains practical applications: Left-Right Integration (your infant's right-hemisphere communication), Vertical Integration (accessing body wisdom), Memory Integration (transforming implicit memories), and Consciousness Integration (the "Wheel of Awareness" practice).THE MWE IDENTITYDaniel Siegel offers hope: we can raise the next generation with expanded identity—not just "me" but "MWE" (me + we), recognizing we're part of interconnected systems. This shift could transform humanity's trajectory toward collaboration and thriving.Other References: "Mothers and Others" by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Roger Sperry's Nobel Prize work (1981), Carol Dweck's research, Ed Tronick's "Still Face Experiment," Jaak Panksepp's affective neuroscience, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang's research(00:00) Introduction (02:59) What is Integration?
