Poucher because as the title eludes for episode one I went and got something called the oh shot and that is a platelet injection and the platelet is Uh growth cells that exist in your own blood So they take out your own blood and then they spin it in a machine and then they get the platelets to go to the top Which is known as the liquid gold And then they take those platelets and they re-inject them back into certain areas You can use platelets for a multitude of reasons. And so I put my platelets into my g-spot and my clitoris And um, that's what episode one is all about and it's I'm really proud. I mean the the whole podcast in general I'm just week after we can let a gush about it because I've been a part of so many other people's projects and other people's shows And I really just wanted this podcast to be a real show Like not just a thing that I slapped together a conversation or not just Another thing that I put out into the world. I wanted it to be like a show Like when you go and you watch your favorite talk show, there are segments There are guests. It's produced. There's music. There's transitions Like you understand that there are multiple people behind this making it as great as it can And for once in my little content creator life, I wanted to see if I could Be a part of something and lead something that felt like a real thing And um, thanks to my sister lauren.

Thank you, penda I watched your videos ever since I saw you speak on the white lady in white when begging makes race. Oh Oh Okay, yeah Yeah, we all come for different reasons Um, do you believe it's possible for one significant other to be compatible with another person? Of course Of course, of course, it's possible I would need more context, but I think it's of course We're compatible with with multiple people Especially if you've chosen an agreeable and agreeable does not mean like a yes person But somebody who's easy to get along with if you've chosen a partner who's easy to get along with you know and um Yeah, they're going to be compatible a lot of people Is it normal to have relationship doubts? Absolutely, elinor. It's normal to have career doubts and job doubts and where you live doubts and self doubt Right and religious doubts doubts are a very normal part of life but if you examine those doubts and they're coming from a place of You realize that your relationship is preventing you from achieving your highest potential Or it's turning you into a person that you don't like or recognize Then that's when I think I would examine those doubts a little bit more Was the procedure a success now, you know nurse anna You know for a fact that i'm not going to tell you on the live That this is why I want you guys to listen to the podcast and it is 45 minutes It's not a big chunk of time and I promise you it Is going to be worth it and if it's not I will find a way to refund you back your 45 minutes I can't do that. I'm not a genie, but I will find a way if you like listen I listened and it just wasn't worth my time DM me and I'll see what I can do for you Have you ever talked to women who don't feel sex at all and will that be a topic? Yes I've definitely done tons of episodes on asexuality or people who are under the ace umbrella Whether that be you know demisexuals and or demi romantics or uh, so On sexology, I've done that and I recently did an episode on Lovers and friends my podcast with evian whitney and evian is a sex educator Who is non-binary and asexual? So if you actually want more information evian, I'll type the name right now into their Into the chat box, but evian Um Just put out some content today about asexuality. So please go and follow them How did you get through your higher education when you felt like you had no concept or understanding at times? um Ryan this is kind of the cool thing about my path is I didn't go back to school until I already had my dream career So by the time I went back to school, I specifically knew what my education would do and how I would apply it So that allowed me to get through this Not so applicable parts of it. Um to be honest. I think if I didn't know where I was going to go Like I've been to school in my 20s. I was like I graduated from college when I was 22 years old Like many people did and at that time I really struggled with Doing school work that I was like this does not apply to what I care about But as an adult, you know a much older person who's gone back to school I just found that because I knew what the function of the school was it just became a lot more bearable Very good. Hi, Aubrey Eric save yourself a necessary drama heartache. Ooh, what's that? TV show is next had hazel beat hazel. I have tons of tv shows I don't know if you're I don't know what you're talking about, but um, I've done a lot of tv I have a show right now with andy cohen that You know, it's great. It's a good show just not getting the love That we would have hoped so what's really great about the podcast is I just feel like I'm completely in control And I'm really proud of it and I really hope that other people are proud of it, too And it's just, you know, there's there's something More special to me about the podcast than being on someone else's network or being on someone else's Platform and having a person pick me. I picked myself I picked my team. My team is my family They're all people that I love and respect the hell out of they're people who are great at what they do We have an aligned vision and I think that that that's why this podcast is so great because of all those things so I'm more excited about Getting to do it myself than having somebody else say hey, you can do this come over to my platform What's your favorite media platform to put to put your work out through? Oh reagan. It's a great question. Um Hmm, I actually have an answer for that They all have different I could think about what my favorite work is but Wherever you are reagan If you're here, it's my favorite platform if you're on instagram That's my favorite platform if you're on podcast and I favorite platform It's more about like the connection you get with the people less about the platform And at different times there's Platforms that are allowing me more access to the audience. And so that's kind of shifts and changes It's really about like where are we finding each other? Like that's that's what I care about I want to know more about the books you read because your book is pretty dope. Thank you. This is my bookshelf So a lot of my favorite books are back there. That means nothing to you They're color coordinated and it looks like they're not real books But they are so if you have a topic i'll try to uh refer one I'm proud of you. Thank you ify. That's such a beautiful thing to say What was the hardest challenge you had about getting started on your youtube back when you did? um Back when I started youtube the hardest challenge was When I first I started youtube several times so I started in like 2011 with my best friend andrea louis And there was no challenges. We didn't care. We had no expectations We had tons of fun And we just got to have fun with each other and then we watched our self grow and connect with all these incredible people I think that was an amazing experience when I started back again in 2015 But myself that was challenging because my ego To be honest with you um by that time I had I was like, you know 30. I think or like yeah, it was 30 And a lot of my peers worked in media and they were like far ahead of me in terms of youtube So it was like really embarrassing for me to come to youtube and get views like 200 and 50 so I think my ego made it really difficult because I was like Oh, what if my friends come and see and they like think i'm a loser And then when I got over that and I was just like who cares i'm making things I care about and i'm putting things out It got to be a better experience and I still struggle that to this day Um, I struggle with um Yeah, my ego She got a big ego How to set boundaries in friends with benefits relationship eric I would Think about what's going to allow you to be the best at that role Right, like if you are getting to a new job Your focus should be how do I be the best at the role that I was given so that I can enjoy my experience and then Expectations are managed well. So someone else also enjoys the experience. I'm willing to provide And so setting boundaries is really for the benefit of everybody because when you're clear about what you can offer And people accept that there is Harmony and there's cohesion So don't look at it like i'm setting a boundary. That's a bad thing And that's going to make someone else uncomfortable Look at it like i'm setting a boundary to set this person up to be the most comfortable with what I actually can offer I think when you switch your mindset that way, it just becomes less awkward to say I don't want to sleep over and not because i'm a dick but because I don't want to be a dick to you And I don't want to wake up and dread having you in my space and as a result not treat you the way that you should be treated So if we just Have a great time give each other pleasure and then part and go our separate ways I think we're going to be more incentivized to keep this up And I think that you're going to look at me in a better light because I am giving exactly what I know I can provide very successfully I was going to ask how did you get over your ego? Ness, you never get over your ego Your ego is also really important because that's your ambition, right? Like it's your it's the pride you take in your work My ego is what makes me re-record something 50 times like the episode you guys listen to the podcast It's not perfect, but we had to jared was like Bitch stop he didn't call me a bitch But he was like Do not make me open up this project file anymore because I kept being like I'm going to re-record it and to add this part Into add music It's my ego that drives me to want to push myself to be better because I have high expectations But it's also my ego that um Make some other bad decisions too, so it's like a mix of both you got to keep it in check That's all there is to it. You got to acknowledge it everything in life You got to see it for the good and the bad and do your best to mitigate the bad and do your best to give space for The good to do what it's meant to do if you know how to get over your ego and You have a you know, let me know I love your the tv show too hot to handle. Thank you tj. I'm gonna say something I'm not I don't supposed to say but um, I'm in too hot to handle season three I missed season two because I was uh, peregrinant, but I am in season three Really exceed Unless they cut me out then I'm not Okay, so can I please just suggest to everybody if you're here Please go listen to my podcast. It's lovers and friends. It's on All places that uh podcasts are streaming, but specifically on apple I really really like we're doing amazing on apple and um, I have an opportunity to break into the top 100 podcasts And so if you're planning on listening to it tomorrow, I appreciate that but if you could just go Right now and save it and follow the podcast like just interact with the page that would just mean a lot I know that it's late and a lot of you are not maybe in the mood to put 45 minutes towards something and I respect that but if you have a little bit of time that mean a lot I don't have apple either. That's okay. Thank you Um for putting pointed out you don't have to be on apple. It's on spotify and everywhere else It's just that um apple is usually where you get the statistics from So it's kind of like when you buy books if you buy a book on amazon or audible It allows you to like move up the amazon charts But in general if you buy the book anywhere, it's helpful So it's several places, but i'm just suggesting if you're like I could listen to an apple I could listen to on spotify. I could listen to it on pandora. I could listen to it on stitcher choose apple That's all but just if you choose it in general I love your channel. Thank you jasmine. It's worthless and thank you reagan let them know let them know Thank you so much. Do you think that young people have the same drive and ego in terms of work? I think but older people get jealous Uh a bit or we think we focus on the wrong matters. Hmm. I don't I'm not quite sure right It's interesting though Hi shan you teach in a school or since you also going to do your masters. Would you lecture? um Leila, I think if I taught in a school, I would do it in an entertainment format I'd probably go. I mean I do go to schools as a speaker. I don't ever see myself In a clinical setting or in a classroom setting But it's a long life and what's really great about setting myself up uh with the school with the school that I am with the education that I am is that There's an opera. There's more opportunities indoors and um, there's less of a scarcity model around entertainment But that's my joy. It's what I think I'm actually best at it's what I think my skills are best suited for And when I'm around really good teachers, I don't see myself in them Like when I see their patience that I see their devotion and how they're really willing to like Put time aside for one person or just give a lot and the patience element I'm like that's not me at all. So I think that Yeah, my my skill set is best suited for what I do, but I um, who knows I always leave space for growth I always leave space. Thank you ify. I appreciate the vote of confidence.
