    ELLIOTT JUSTIN, MD: SEX TECH: EP. 286

    DR. ELLIOTT JUSTIN,, MD, is the CEO and Founder of FirmTech, and an acclaimed expert in the rapidly evolving sextech and wearables industry, with a unique focus on the intersection of sexual and cardiac health.    Elliott offers invaluable insights into how recent innovations in sextech can improve their sexual health—and, by extension, their cardiac health—potentially saving their lives.   Driven by technological advancements and a growing emphasis on sexual wellness, the sextech market has exploded on a global scale in recent years. The wearables category has arguably seen the most interesting and compelling growth with products that do things like help alleviate pain during penetration, others use AI to map changes in the pelvic floor, and innovations like FirmTech’s award-winning Tech Ring—the first smart intimacy wearable of its kind—enhances pleasure while improving cardiac health.   Dr. Justin’s expertise extends far beyond the FirmTech brand. With a background in emergency medicine, he is all too aware of cardiac health and is driven by an understanding of how sexual and heart health are linked.  We talk about how the data collected from the Tech Ring can inform heart health, adrenal health and other conditions prompting  early detection. Elliott also talks about how “werables” have improved sexual function and pleasure in both men and women. This frank and informative discussion takes us through the current research and data,  as well as anecdotal success stories which illustrate the power and viability of this burgeoning field. www.myfirmtech.com

    MALITTA SEAMON: ARE YOU RUNNING ON EMPTY?: EP. 280

    MALITTA SEAMON is the author of “Mindset Freedom: Seven Steps to Unlock Your Power In Life, Love, and Leadership”, a business strategist, coach, author, speaker, and trusted adviser to CEOs, C-suite executives and leaders. She co-founded Inbound Leadership to help unlock untapped potential for greater impact by fostering safe spaces for leaders to reflect, be vulnerable, a=]d grow—her true passion. Malitta says,“When women feel drained at work or at home, we often blame ourselves for taking on too much or not finding “balance.” But what if the real reason we’re running on empty is that we’re constantly contorting ourselves—shrinking, bending, over-accommodating, and over-delivering to meet other people’s expectations?” For years, that’s exactly what Malitta did.While building an eight-figure business with her husband, Brad Seamon, and raising a family, she continually adjusted and overperformed to meet roles and standards defined by others. Until the cost of contortion became too high. The business hit a breaking point—and so did her marriage. In the fallout, Malitta finally asked herself a question too many high-achieving women avoid: What would it look like to lead without apology—and live without shape-shifting? We talk about: Why women feel pressure to contort—trying to “make it work” at their own expense. The subtle but powerful signs that you’re bending too far. The real cost of chronic self-adjustment—emotionally, professionally, and relationally. Why chasing “balance” keeps us stuck—and what to pursue instead. How to stop the cycle of self-betrayal and start leading with clarity, courage, and authenticity.
