Dealing with social anxiety is something many of us face on a regular basis. Hell, I'm a pretty extroverted guy and I deal with it often as well.

Today we talk about social anxiety and how best to deal with it with my friend Jen Copyak. She shares some great insights into how to combat social anxiety and how as a naturally introverted person she's been able to deal with social anxiety.

Very cool interview and I'm really grateful she was as open and honest about her challenges in this area as she was.

Let’s talk about sex!

Today on our show I talk to nationally recognized sociologist and sexologist, Dr. Jenn Gunsaullus.

She is a frequent speaker about sexual empowerment, healthy relationships, body image, erotic play, sexual health, and mindful sex. She has presented two TEDx Talks, is a writer on sex and relationships, and a recurring intimacy expert on the San Diego morning news. Dr. Jenn is also an active philanthropist and leader within the Women Give San Diego donor’s circle. She has over a million hits on her In the Den with Dr. Jenn YouTube video series.

Dr. Jenn was a blast to interview and I think you’ll really like this episode. You’ll see how a self-professed “good Catholic Girl” from Pennsylvania became the foremost expert in mindful sex.

See below for a few of the questions I asked her. Luckily, she talks as fast as I do so we we able to go off on several tangents without making the show run too long.

Questions:

What’s your background?

Where did you grow up/who was your favorite high school teacher and why?

Tell us about your work- who do you work with & what do you help them with, etc?

What are the biggest misconceptions about sex we all have?

What are the biggest problems/issues you help people with?

What are the biggest keys to a great sex life?

Any specific advice for guys?

What is your ‘why’? Why do you do what you do? What inspires you?

What would you tell the 25 year old version of yourself?

You are an incredibly strong, powerful woman, what life advice would you give to other women?

An epic life of righteous awesomeness starts by leading with your heart.

In this unplanned, totally unscripted podcast I cover the 5 key steps to lead with your heart. I recorded this just as I was about to leave my office one night a few days after I was in a hit & run car accident (which taught me a lot). I wasn't hurt but the woman who hit me still took off and it left me with these lessons.

The lessons:

Understanding your true best self

Recognizing if you’re in your head or your heart

Be willing to buck convention

Start every decision from your heart

Be cool with failure if your motivation is pure

Check it out and let me know what you think…

Today’s podcast is with the greatest author since Ernest Hemingway, Mark Haskell Smith. A bold statement I know but he is that good. His latest book "Naked At Lunch: A Reluctant Nudist’s Adventures In The Clothing-Optional World” is a fantastic and enlightening treatment of the hidden (metaphorically) world of nudists. What makes Mark so unique and his books so incredible is his approach and outlook on life. He is the epitome of someone living an epic life.

In this revealing podcast we cover: the dangers of hiking in the Swiss alps nude; why no one is ever offended by cottage cheese (and why that's a bad); why replacing envy with gratitude leads to happiness; the beauty of pickles & Twitter and why simple pleasures are underrated. A successful playwright and author, Mark gives advice about doing your own thing and how to become a unique artist, no matter what you do.

Mark’s been a hero of mine for a while so interviewing him was the 1st time I’ve ever been nervous on the podcast. Luckily, Mark is as good of a guy as he is an author. He’s honest, genuine, funny as shit and just a blast to talk with. Plus he laughed at my jokes which is always nice. Check it out and if you haven’t read any of his books, I recommend them highly.
