Why does talking about sex and money make everyone feel SO uncomfortable? They both quite literally make the world go around. And just like talking about your salary can help you get a pay rise, talking about sex can help you experience so much more confidence and pleasure. Today we are chatting with the amazing Emma-Louise Boynton, who is the brilliant mind behind ‘Sex Talks.’ She talks openly about her experience with sex therapy, shares her incredibly insightful perspective on sex work, and speaks to the unbelievable nuances that you might never have thought of when it comes to these two things we can't live without. Insightful and liberating. One for the girlies who in the wise words of todays podcast guest... "want to be really rich and f**k loads".
Resources mentioned in this episode: Come as You Are (book), Kama (app), Sex Power Money (book), Keily Blair, OnlyFans (article), Inside the reality TV to OnlyFans pipeline (article), Bad Sex: Pleasure, and an Unfinished Revolution (book)

RTC117: Sex and money make the world go round, with Emma-Louise Boynton.

Soph is back from The Podcast Show 2024 (think Comic Con but for audio nerds), and she’s got stories galore including a major fangirl moment with the incredible Elizabeth Day. Spoiler: Soph got super emotional, then pitched Elizabeth via email. Guess what? She got a reply right away (but was it really from Elizabeth?). In stock market news, the software company, Nvidia is absolutely slaying in the AI game, with their revenue skyrocketing 300% in just three months. All hail Jensen Huang, their genius founder who's now worth a cool $90 billion. And we spill the tea on the latest Live Nation and Ticketmaster drama. Taylor Swift’s Eras tour ticket sales broke the site, causing a huge fuss. Now, the U.S. government is stepping in and forcing Live Nation and Ticketmaster to split up for being too anti-competitive. Bye-bye, monopoly!

TCW69: Fangirl Moments, AI Triumphs, and Taylor Swift Drama.

Growing up on a commune in the weed capital of Australia, you could say that today's guest, Julia Strelou experienced a slightly different childhood compared to most kids. It wasn't until her early teens that she started to realise just how different her living situation was in contrast to others at school. When the penny dropped and comparison started to creep in, she decided to leave her family and venture outside of the commune. She left with nothing, found herself in 3 financially abusive relationships and got herself into $30,000 worth of debt. Now life looks completely different. She is 'successful' in every sense of the word - both personally and financially, but it certainly was not all smooth sailing. Strap on in you lot, this episode is absolute gold.

RTC116: From commune to comeback, with Julia Strelou.

Happy Tuesday everybody! Coming to you a day later than usual, we're discussing the recent success of Duolingo, the return of meme stocks, and most importantly; Soph's transition into a Karen after spending the night listening to pesky kids partying. Keith Gill AKA the legendary Roaring Kitty has bought about the return of meme stocks - which in short, is people clubbing together on Reddit to buy stocks in the companies that aren't doing great, because they've been shorted (betted against) by hedge funds. Basically, it's a way of saying F you to the big dogs and giving power to the people, amen!

TCW68: Duolingo's soaring, Roaring Kitty's back and Soph's become a (polite) Karen.

This week we welcomed back one of our favourite guests, Sarah Lindsay who runs SALA, the most amazing reformer pilates, yoga and barre studio in Auckland. The original episode we recorded with her was so popular that we thought it would be rude not to have her back to give us some updates and share some of her successful business-owner wisdom with us. Feeling defeated in achieving work-life feels like a tale as old as time and a struggle I think every one of us can say we face regularly. This is a chat about getting your priorities in order, setting boundaries, and defining what you want for yourself now, versus what future you will appreciate the most. Hilarious, a little bit woo-woo and incredibly eye-opening, we were so happy to have Sarah back in the studio to chat with us again.
