E.89 We Don't Talk About Sexual Health Enough With Alex Griffiths Co-Founder of Roam

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Alex Griffiths Co-Founder of Roam a revolutionary sexual health brand that introduces innovation, sustainability, and confidence to the sexual wellness industry. I was so excited to have this conversation with Alex as I when thinking of topics I wanted to discuss on the podcast this year I realised that no one ever talks about sexual health enough when it is actually intrinsically linked to health and wellness.Both Alex and his co-founder Ben grew weary of the industry's monotonous dominance by a single brand, Durex. Recognising the absence of a contemporary sexual health brand attuned to people's wants, needs, and desires in the market, they made the decision to fill that void.Roam is boldly challenging the sexual health landscape by introducing genuine innovation to the market, which is truly exhilarating to witness!In this episode Alex and I discuss the taboo topic of sex and sexual health whilst trying to work out why people don't talk about it, why people feel uncomfortable and why people don't see it as part of their own health and wellness.The topics we discuss are:Why do people find it awkward and uncomfortable buying sexual health productsWhy is it important to normalise talking about sexual health and wellnessWhy did Alex and Ben start RoamAlex's previous careerThe reaction from friends and family when Alex told them he was starting a sexual health brandLifestyle factors that affect your libidoThe effect alcohol has on your sex lifeThe fact that sex is wellnessHow to compete with DurexBeing censored online due to the nature of the product and topicHow to communicate with people that don't want to be communicated toHow do they want Roam to make a differenceWhat being sustainable and inclusive means to themSponsors:PARLA - Order your sustainable oral care by clicking on this link https://parlatoothpastetabs.com/?ref=HBhH65ShncNZFAGEORGIASYMONDS for 10% off your orderHUEL - https://tidd.ly/3G2sYd9 - click the link to top up on your HUEL supplyThis episode is hosted and produced by Georgia Symonds Hosted on Acast.
