As a couple's therapist, I am asked by many couples how they can have great, passionate sex. One of my first encounters regarding powerful sex was reading the book Passionate Marriage by sex and relationship therapist David Schnarch. He used the phrase wall-socket sex to represent the highest form of sexual connection, one that arises not from emotional fusion or validation-seeking but from two differentiated, self-validated individuals who can remain fully present, emotionally exposed, and erotically alive in each other's presence.

Brand positioning statements are practical tools that help you define the core of your brand strategy. Instead of starting with a blank page, you get a structured format to work through the key questions: Who are you for? What do you offer? How are you different? Why should anyone care? A strong brand positioning statement defines what you're really selling-not only the product or service but also the value, the feeling, and the experience.

In my experience, the hardest part about marketing isn't creating the campaigns or generating the leads-it's making sure the data behind all of it means something to the people making the biggest business decisions. The C-suite doesn't need dashboards filled with acronyms. They need a clear, compelling narrative that connects what's happening in the market to the business outcomes they care about.
