    #308 Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn - TikTok's #1 Sex Educator on Why Relationships Are Failing
    May 28 2026
    Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn is a tenured professor of Human Communication Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where she specializes in sexual and relational communication, online communication, and interpersonal relationships. Her work focuses on how people talk about intimacy, dating, culture, and long-term partnership and how communication shapes everything from attraction and compatibility to emotional connection and relationship longevity. Dr. Tara earned her Ph.D. in Interpersonal Communication from Arizona State University after completing her graduate studies in human communication in California. Her academic research explores the science behind how people form, maintain, and sometimes lose meaningful relationships in a rapidly changing social and technological world. Beyond the classroom, Dr. Tara has become a widely recognized relationship and sex expert, frequently appearing in major media outlets including Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Insider, and Men’s Health, and serving as a dating expert on the television series Celebs Go Dating. She is also the host of the Luvbites by Dr. Tara podcast, a columnist for Women’s Health Magazine, and a co-host of the iconic relationship advice radio show Loveline. Through her research, media work, and public education, Dr. Tara bridges academic science with real-world conversations about love, intimacy, communication, sexuality, and human connection, helping people better understand how relationships work and how healthier communication can transform the way we love.

  • #307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

    #307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost
    May 26 2026
    Ron White is a two-time USA Memory Champion, U.S. Navy veteran, and one of the world's foremost memory training experts. Known as the "Brain Athlete," he has dedicated his career to proving that extraordinary memory is not a gift — it's a trainable skill. A Texas-based entrepreneur and speaker, White first discovered memory techniques in 1991 at age 18 and has spent over three decades mastering and teaching them. He won back-to-back USA Memory Championships in 2009 and 2010 and held the national record for the fastest to memorize a shuffled deck of cards in one minute and 27 seconds. He has appeared on the History Channel's Stan Lee's Superhumans, National Geographic's Brain Games, and Fox's Superhuman with Kal Penn and Mike Tyson, as well as Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, and CBS Evening News. After September 11th, White joined the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence specialist and deployed to Afghanistan in 2007, serving until 2010. That experience inspired what he considers his most important work: memorizing the names, ranks, and order of death of more than 2,300 American service members killed in Afghanistan — over 7,000 words committed to memory over 10 months. He travels the country writing those names from memory on a 52-foot memorial wall, a tribute built on a simple message: "You are not forgotten." Today, White speaks to audiences in over 30 countries and runs Brain Athlete, where he teaches individuals and organizations to improve their memory, read faster, and learn more effectively through his flagship Black Belt Memory program.
