Having said that, I’ll be honest and tell you that after we did this interview live, the Mixergy community was divided on whether I should have done an interview with a porn star. I want to be very clear, my answer is ABSOLUTELY.

Nina Hartley is one of the biggest names in the adult business. She’s been in it since the 80’s as an actress, entrepreneur and sex educator. I invited her to share her experiences.
