After being shut out of Hollywood, Rose McGowan explains how she was forced to step away - and slowly rebuild her life on her own terms. Rose speaks openly about her experiences in Hollywood, the cost of refusing to stay silent, and how leaving the industry became part of reclaiming her creativity, identity and sense of self. Rose was one of the first to go public with claims of sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein, and she explains how she was allegedly raped by the movie producer at the age of 23 - and what it cost her to speak out. She reflects on the severe personal and professional consequences that followed. Content warning: this conversation includes discussion of sexual assault. From being raised in a cult in Italy to navigating Hollywood, she reflects on how early experiences shaped her instincts around control, belonging and survival.

She shares: ◽ What it was like growing up inside The Children of God ◽ Being alone at 13 and realising no one was looking for her ◽ Why speaking out about Harvey Weinstein meant career death ◽ What was really happening behind the scenes on Charmed ◽ The truth behind the VMA dress and what people misunderstood ◽ Nearly losing her life, leaving the US and starting again ◽ How fans, creativity and music helped bring her back to herself Rose McGowan, We Need To Talk Support charities: Survivor’s Trust: https://g2ul0.app.link/HOj44LvWZUb CALM: https://g2ul0.app.link/uULaUXcM3Nb MIND: https://g2ul0.app.link/gbuRaxjM3Nb Follow me here: https://www.instagram.com/needtotalk https://www.tiktok.com/@weneedtotalkpod Support Rose here:Website: https://www.rosemcg.com/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/rosemcgowan/ (00:00) Intro (02:23) How Does Rose Identify?

Can 7 minutes a day really transform your life?

Bestselling author and modern masculinity expert Scott Galloway joins Paul for a raw conversation about dating, loneliness, and why so many young men are quietly falling behind. Scott breaks down how technology, online dating, and economic anxiety are reshaping male identity - and why men must take responsibility before resentment takes over. Scott explains why men are struggling more than any generation before them, how synthetic relationships are replacing real intimacy, and men should “use their sex drive to become a better man”. From dating apps and divorce to fatherhood, friendship, and the pressure to provide, this is an uncomfortable but necessary conversation about what it actually means to be a man today. Scott shares: ◽ Why so many men have given up on dating altogether ◽ Why we’re creating asocial, asexual men ◽ The biggest boner-killer for women ◽ How online dating has eliminated most men from the mating market ◽ Why economic anxiety, not infidelity, is the real cause of divorce ◽ The danger of AI and synthetic relationships for young people ◽ Why men without strong relationships are most at risk after divorce ◽ How fatherhood finally made him feel “enough” ◽ What young men can do now to rebuild confidence, purpose and connection Scott Galloway, We Need To Talk Follow me here: https://www.instagram.com/needtotalk https://www.tiktok.com/@weneedtotalkpod Support Scott here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/profgalloway/?hl=enNotes On Being A Man: https://a.co/d/6Sz2btm (00:00) Intro (03:22) Why Has Scott Pivoted From Business to Masculinity?
