Ringo and Ridgey are joined by the brilliant and unfiltered Layla Kelly, who traded in her corporate banking gig for a camera, a ring light, and a subscription to financial freedom. What started as a plan to earn a little side cash ($300NZ a week, to be exact) quickly turned into a full-blown adult entertainment career—with Layla pulling in way more than just tips. She walks us through that bold leap from the boardroom to OnlyFans, the double takes she gets at PTA meetings, and why she’ll never go back to the nine-to-five.

But it’s not all champagne and lingerie. Layla gets into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sex work—how it affects her marriage, how her kids are learning about boundaries, and how the internet trolls are both relentless and cruel—and how she rises above it all. She shares how fantasy and reality often blur in adult content, and why performance anxiety isn’t just for high school theater kids. Spoiler: communication is the real MVP in any relationship, especially when your job involves... well, performance.

We also get deep on society’s ever-evolving views on sex work—why stigma still lingers, how discrimination shows up in the most mundane places (hello, banking systems), and what empowerment really means when your job challenges the norm. Layla's not just here to shake things up—she’s building something bigger. From entrepreneurship to advocacy, she’s redefining what it means to own your story, your body, and your business.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like behind the scenes of adult content—or why honest conversations about porn, youth, and gender perspectives matter more than ever—this episode is your backstage pass. It's funny, it’s raw, and it’s probably not safe for work. But neither is Layla, and that’s kind of the point.

In this deeply moving and unflinchingly honest episode, Sam Troth opens up about his lived experience as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. His story is not just one of survival, but of resilience, advocacy and the relentless pursuit of justice. Sam takes us through the long shadow abuse has cast over his life—from its devastating impact on his mental health and relationships to his battles with addiction and the crushing failures of the justice system to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable.

This conversation is raw and necessary. It shines a light on the chilling reality that one in six boys and one in three girls will experience sexual abuse before the age of sixteen. Sam doesn’t shy away from the hard truths—about the predators who groom not just children but their communities, about the institutions that enabled abuse under the guise of care and about the silence that too often protects abusers more than it defends the innocent.

But amidst the pain is power. Sam speaks with fierce clarity about the ripple effects of abuse—not only the personal toll it takes, but the way it echoes across families, generations, and entire communities. He shares how education, open conversation, and early body-safety awareness are vital tools in prevention. He also explores the journey from victim to advocate and how walking for awareness became a way to reclaim his voice and his healing.

In one of the most powerful acts of advocacy, Sam is currently walking the length of New Zealand—from its northernmost tip to Parliament in Wellington—carrying with him a petition calling for a minimum eight-year sentence for sexual offending. It's a grueling and symbolic journey that amplifies the voices of countless survivors and demands that lawmakers take meaningful action to protect the most vulnerable. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a movement.

This episode is a call to action. It challenges us to break the silence, to confront the systemic failures that perpetuate abuse and to recognize the staggering economic, emotional and societal costs of inaction. Through Sam’s powerful testimony, listeners are reminded that change begins with conversation—and that empowering survivors and holding space for their truth is the first step in building a safer world for all children.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses themes of childhood sexual abuse, addiction, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

Ringo and Ridgey are joined by the one and only Diane Foreman—a woman who went from secretary to CEO, built an international ice cream empire, and somehow managed to stay fabulous through it all. If you're thinking "wow, that’s impressive," just wait 'til you hear her talk about risk appetite, parenting, and why no one actually has it all (except maybe the dog).

Diane takes us through her journey from typing memos to running boardrooms. She talks candidly about the realities women face in business—how being well-dressed is more than just a fashion choice, how women often judge themselves (and each other) too harshly, and why mentorship is key if we’re going to build a world where more women climb the ladder—and then leave it down for the next one.

She dives into why entrepreneurship offers more than a paycheck: it’s about freedom, choices and building something that matters. We also talk about the myth of the perfect work-life balance, the importance of backing yourself even when no one else does, and why a solid business plan beats a vision-board any day.

This episode is full of honesty, laughs and some top-shelf business advice. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or just here for the sass and success stories, Diane Foreman delivers the goods—heels, hustle, and all.
