industry pivoted tp this disruption? Uber has disrupted the
mobility industry. How has the mobility industry pivoted to this
disruption? Robinhood has disrupted the financial industry. How
has the financial industry responded to this disruption? Urgent
care clinics have disrupted the medical industry. How has the
medical community pivoted? And so on...

We would like to interview CEOs and business leaders from an
industry that is being impacted by a disruptive technology, and
hear their strategies about how to pivot and stay relevant. We
would particularly like to hear from leaders in any of the
industries mentioned above. (Hospitality , accounting, mobility

After breaking up with my ex this summer, my sex drive has been
completely MIA. And after speaking with a friend, they said they
experienced the same thing. "The emotional wreckage of the

totally resonated and made me feel so much less alone. But now
I'm left wondering, where do our libidos actually go after a
breakup? And why do they disappear?I'm looking to hear from a
psychologist and a sex therapist on why this happens and what we
can do to overcome it and get our libidos back (if anything).

Requirements:

Psychologist, sex/relationship therapist. Please answer: 1)
where do libidos go after a breakup, 2) how long could they take
to come back, 3) tips for how/what we can do to overcome this
