In this special memorial episode of The Business of Pleasure, we honor the legendary Dean Elliott — CEO and founder of Sliquid, lovingly known in our Bedroom Kandi community as “The Lube Dude.” Dean wasn’t just the mastermind behind some of our most beloved and best-selling lubricants and bath products — he was the kind of man who entered every room with vibrant energy, a booming laugh, and a heart full of love.

From the early days of Sliquid to becoming an irreplaceable part of our BK family, Dean poured passion, purpose, and integrity into every product he touched. In this episode, you’ll hear from Dean himself as we revisit clips of him sharing how he got started in the business, his vision for clean and conscious intimacy products, and his powerful contributions to our Natural Wellness Panel.

We also celebrate Dean’s bold, hilarious, and unforgettable spirit — the one who brought the slip, the slide, and the soul to the pleasure industry. Join us as we laugh, reflect, and honor the man whose legacy continues to flow through everything we do. This one’s for you, Dean — you’ll forever be part of our story.
