"You’re never too old or too young to do anything."- Cindy Gallop
From her early training in theatre, to a career in advertising and a life filled with purpose and fun, to her next mission as founder, investor, and evangelist for positive, joyful sex technology on the web at Make Love, Not Porn; Cindy Gallop has been "blowing shit up" for a long time.
Cindy's experiences in building a sex-tech company and an investment fund have lessons for all of us. You'll learn a ton about the perseverance required to build a startup in the sex tech space, which makes the average startup look easy by comparison. But Cindy's episode will also make you think, including challenging us all to wish our friends the best anniversary and vacation sex possible.
