Please allow me to introduce Sherri and Reuben Johnson, AKA, FlyDuo. I got to meet them at the Sexology Summit in 2022 and I was smitten! They not only run these amazing businesses supporting sex professionals, but they also have an incredible story of strength in escaping the religious cult they grew up in. This matters now more than ever as Christian Nationalists attempt to destroy our democracy. Plus you know I'm a sucker for a love story that leads to sex positivity.

Brandon and I met through the Sexual Health Alliance (SHA) where I did my training as a Sex Coach and he did his as an educator. He was already a clinical social worker then. When we recorded this episode, I was looking for an expert for women who feared dating online because of the men they might meet and Brandon delivered! So, I hope you will tune in and listen because some of my most profound realizations of the year were made in this conversation. Shout out to Mat Leffler-Shulman for rescuing this episode when my naivete as a new podcaster almost lost it for eternity thanks to an echo over everything Brandon said. My audio may be choppy, but you will hear Brandon clear as a bell! Huzzah!
