    Amber Bites Big with Cindy Gallop, Founder & CEO of Make Love, Not Porn

    If there's one woman who has built an entire career on not giving a damn what anyone thinks — it's Cindy Gallop. In this episode of BITE BIG, Amber Bonney goes head-to-head with one of the most fearless, sharp-tongued and unapologetically disruptive forces in global advertising and tech. Cindy Gallop studied literature, built a powerhouse advertising agency in New York, worked on iconic brands including Ray-Ban and Coca-Cola — and then walked away from all of it to build something the industry had never seen before: MakeLoveNotPorn, a platform designed to end rape culture by role-modelling what real, consensual, communicative sex actually looks like. Seventeen years in, Cindy is still fighting — against algorithmic suppression, investor conservatism, and a financial infrastructure that punishes "adult content" regardless of its mission. She's now also launching MakeLoveNotPorn.academy: a global aggregator for sex education content that is being blocked, censored and de-platformed everywhere else. She calls it, deliberately, the Google of sex ed. This is not a polished corporate story. This is a woman who will tell you that women are over-mentored and underfunded, that the only way to live your life is to not give a damn, and that "the market of human happiness" is the biggest market of them all — and that investors should be funding the f**k out of it. Cindy also gets into: how the UK campaign "Yes, Sex Please, We're British" is pioneering a national conversation about sex education; why female solidarity on social media is one of the best things to come out of the internet; and what she'd tell any woman who feels invisible at 40. Buckle up. This one bites big.Want More?Listen to the full episode of *BITE BIG* with Cindy Gallop on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
