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 Use the code: IknowElliott to get a 20% discount!

CRAIG GOLDBERG is what many would say the world really needs right now: a Relaxation Expert! Craig is also a Certified Vibro-Acoustic Therapy Practitioner on a quest to help humanity achieve a deeper sense of inner calmness through the use of sound and vibration technology. He operates with roots in science and technology, and his work is backed by 40+ years of research showing the many benefits of this type of therapy. He is constantly exploring new ways to use Vibro-Acoustic to help people reduce stress and anxiety, heal, and transform their lives for the better. His journey began 10 years ago when his wife got sick and Modern medicine did not have answers, so he did what any one of us would do: He began searching. His journey has taken him down many roads in search of one thing: How to live a healthy life. Craig and his wife found diet and nutrition to be the gateway to better health. This love for healthy food led to a deep dive, into what he calls his three main environments: 1. What we put in our mouth 2. What we put on our skin 3. What we allow in the air around us Mastering these external environments led him to focusing inward. Craig, like so many others, was familiar with the benefits of meditation, but struggled to get into a meditative state. He made it something of a mission to hack the process to make it more accessible for those who struggled to get there. This led to the power of sound and vibration as a healing tool after experiencing profound effects for himself on a revolutionary Vibro-Acoustic bed called "The Sound Lounge." Craig instantly knew this was the mindfulness and healing hack he'd been searching for and it sparked yet another deep dive into the human body and how it all works. In November 2016, he partnered with Dominic Carnevale, and inHarmony Interactive was born. Today, Craig is an advocate of the power of sound and vibration to heal and create positive changes in the lives of others.Craig and Dom continue to innovate their industry. inHarmony recently announced their Patent on the inHarmony Meditation Cushion, solidifying their position in the "Tech-Assisted Meditation" movement. Sound and vibration reset the nervous system and send signals to every muscle in the body to relax. Shifting from stressed and anxious to calm-and-relaxed is something we all need. www.iaminharmony.com
