Industry Vet: Cindy Gallop “My Biggest Regret…” & Her 🌶️ New Company

Most people plan their careers meticulously. MakeLoveNotPorn's Cindy Gallop chose a completely different path—staying open to opportunities and following her curiosity wherever it led, somehow ending up starting BBH New York with just a phone and creating a platform that's redefining sex education. Her approach to building a career involves asking for jobs that don't exist and following a philosophy that sounds deceptively simple but has led to decades of being ahead of everyone else.

This conversation reveals why Cindy thinks the advertising industry is missing out on billions of dollars, how her dating life led to an unexpected business insight, and what she really thinks about the state of career planning. Plus, she shares the exact words she used to convince her boss to create her dream job and explains why her latest text about gin storage makes perfect sense to the right person. If you've ever wondered what happens when someone embraces serendipity and follows their curiosity instead of a rigid plan, this is your answer.
