Connection. We all yearn for it in different ways - personally, professionally, and erotically. Plus, connection in so many other ways. Yet what happened for me over a 4-day Connect Retreat with Court Vox - Certified Intimacy and Sex coach, was surprising, intriguing, scary, exiting, and led me places I never would have imagined - in all areas of my life. Today I share my raw truths, experiences, and insights in this episode. You'll discover:
  • The truth about what drove me to go to the retreat and what I had to release
  • Where eroticism showed up where I least expected it
  • What I am no longer afraid to do to fully in my erotic self

About Rick

Rick is a well-known culture disruptor in the LGBTQ+ community and world (in a good way), “closet buster (coming out coach),” and bold move coach for gay men (the gay man's life coach) – inspiring gay men to live life with no excuses, no fears, no apologies. Tapping into his 25+ years experience in personal development, and leveraging being a late bloomer, coming out of the closet at 36, he’s created a no B.S. approach for thriving as a gay man and father – personally and professionally. His writing has been featured in Huffington Post, YourTango, The Good Men Project, e-Harmony. He is a published author - Frankly My Dear I’m Gay  - and currently working on his second book. His love for podcasting (Life (UN)Closeted and 40 Plus: Real Men. Real Talk), has led him to publish over 900 episodes and counting. He is also a highly sought after speaker and speaker trainer. His mission is to inspire gay and bisexual men to fully embrace the truth of who they are for unapologetic living on their terms. He loves wine, his two grown daughters, and his husband, in that order but don’t tell the hubby where he fits in the pecking order.
