In this episode of Founder’s Story, Daniel Robbins sits down with Dr. Tara to explore how technology, intimacy, and human connection are colliding in ways we’ve never seen before. From sex robots and AI partners to ethical non-monogamy and the myth of “natural” sexual skill, Dr. Tara challenges the biggest assumptions about love, relationships, and pleasure. Her new book, How Do You Like It?, gives people the tools to discover their sexual identity and build stronger connections.
Key Discussion Points:
Dr. Tara shares her perspective on why robots and AI will become a normal part of relationships, and how our fears mirror the same resistance society once had to the internet and porn. She explains why the real issue isn’t the technology itself, but how people choose to consume it. She also opens up about living in an ethical non-monogamous relationship, the skills needed to make it work, and why communication—not monogamy—is the foundation of lasting intimacy. Beyond the taboo, Dr. Tara breaks down why boredom is the number one relationship killer, the role of “erotic solutions” in reigniting desire, and how sexual meditation can transform both individuals and couples.
Takeaways:
Listeners will learn why the belief that “sex should come naturally” is one of the most damaging myths in relationships, and how adopting a growth mindset in intimacy can be life-changing. Dr. Tara emphasizes that sexual competence is a skill—something that can be learned, practiced, and improved. She also shows why communication, novelty, and education are the secret weapons to long-term happiness.
Closing Thoughts:
Dr. Tara is on a mission to spread sex-positivity and shatter the stigma around intimacy. As she reminds us, love, sex, and connection are not static—they’re evolving. And with the right mindset, they can evolve into something extraordinary.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
