5 MINUTES with Cindy Gallop

MatterHQ

Cindy Gallop believes we can all make the world a better place through micro actions. One of her start ups Make Love Not Porn is trying to change the business of sex. This is the second time I’ve had the chance to listen to Cindy Gallop’s thoughts about the world. And just as last time I leave her talk with a boost of energy and new ideas of what’s next. In her talk at Webbdagarna in Stockholm she emphasizes the importance of sleep. If you want to be the best at what you do, make sure to get enough sleep. One of her initiatives Make Love Not Porn is a controversial video sharing site with sex videos made by your average citizen. She started this project when she realized that young people didn’t learn about sex through sex education, but rather from porn. This creates a false narrative of how the real sexual world really works. She explains the tagline of Make Love Not Porn as ”pro sex, pro porn, pro know the difference”. By making it easier to talk about sex, she wants to create a more equal and open world. What I like most with her talks is the way she’s constantly enabling every persons ability to change the world – and how she stresses that we must do it in a gender equal way. Her other startup IfWeRanTheWorld is a project to encourage people and businesses to turn good intentions into actions. She talks about micro actions, and getting things done. How can we, as persons, change the world? All the small things together can create a revolution. Full transcript: http://matter.se/cyndi-gallop-clear-vision-do-good-porn-make-money-repeat
