ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Courtney Kocak grew up a small-town girl in Jackson, Minnesota, dreaming of becoming an actress. But her path to Hollywood led through some unexpected territory: seven weeks on the Girls Gone Wild tour, abusive relationships, an abortion, and eventually OnlyFans. During that time, she also became a celebrated writer, podcaster, and teacher. It's all laid bare in her new memoir, Girl Gone Wild, which chronicles how she transformed experiences she thought defined her shame into a writing career built on radical honesty. In our juicy conversation we talk about:
- Witnessing the exploitation tactics on the Girls Gone Wild bus
- Raising over $32,000 for Black Lives Matter by offering topless photos to donors
- How you can be an exhibitionist but not an extrovert
- Writing dick reviews on OnlyFans as a creative writing exercise
- The difference between sexploitation and empowerment when it comes to monetizing your looks

Smartphones and social media have changed childhood in ways few of us could have predicted. For starters, many children are now getting their first phone at just 10 or 11 — far younger than the technology was ever designed for. Once that phone is in their hand, it can interfere with sleep, friendsh…
