AI FOR HELPERS AND CHANGEMAKERS

BOUT THAT TIME | REAL. INSIGHTFUL. EMPOWERING.
Full transparency, all I want to do is help change the world for the better. The goal is to enlighten and empower people through casual conversations with inspiring human beings. Asking questions not typically broached. Honest testimony. Discussing topics that resonate and push the culture forward and, hopefully, closer together. Sharing the stories of others and hopefully helping people realize that the struggles they face are not unique to them. Extracting the nuance out of these stories to identify actionable steps that can be taken toward progress and self-actualization. Far too often we only celebrate the successes and the results of a person's hard work but we seldom highlight the grind, the work ethic, and the sacrifices they made to get there. A major part of the show is vulnerability. Yes, it will be lighthearted. Yes, there will be a lot of laughing. I just hope people walk away with a different perspective as well. Something they can take with them on the journey to becoming their best selves. Hosted by Anthony McClain

FUTURE OF SEX
There was a time when the best way to understand your sexuality — if you tried to understand it at all — was to turn to magazines and cookie-cutter advice columns. But as technology has transformed the way we relate to each other, it's also changed the way we fall in love and even the way we have sex. Our digital and off-line lives have become so intermingled that everything we do, including each other, has been affected. Everyone is unique in their desires and sexuality, and the only way to truly own your sexuality is to explore the connections between sex, technology and the rest of your life. On Future of Sex, the world's leading authority on sextech Bryony Cole, will create a safe place to help you understand your own unique sexuality, desires and how to create a fun, shame-free, tech-filled sex life. Real talk. No bullshit. That's the future of sex.
