I sat down with Tusar Barik, the SVP of Marketing at the New York Times, who's just past his first year in this newly created role. We explored how the Times has transformed from a traditional newspaper into a multifaceted media company spanning news, games, podcasts, cooking, sports, and more. Tusar leads a comprehensive team managing everything from measurement and data insights to product marketing, editorial advertising opportunities, and traditional communications. What struck me most was learning that the Times now reaches over 150 million registered users with 50 to 100 million weekly engagers, seeing the highest growth among Gen Z adults and audiences in the Midwest and South. The digital advertising business delivered over 20% year-over-year growth, proving that quality journalism and a direct relationship with readers creates a powerhouse advertising platform.We dove deep into how the Times is meeting consumers where they are through video-forward strategies, producing over 75 hours of professional video monthly and transforming podcasts into multimodal shows available as both audio and video. Tusar shared insights on their Brand Match generative AI product that delivers 30% improvements in both click-through rates and brand lift by intelligently matching advertiser briefs with the right content. We explored how games like Wordle have been part of the Times' DNA since the 1940s crossword, how The Daily creates deeply personal connections with millions, and why the Times sees itself as a solar system with news at the center. The conversation revealed a company that's successfully balanced subscription-first strategy with a thriving advertising business by staying true to its mission while innovating how it reaches and serves audiences._______________________________________________Key Highlights

Cut Calories, Keep the Flavor: My Favorite Non-Alcoholic Beers for Over-40 FitnessClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!In this fun and practical episode, Brad Williams dives into the booming world of non-alcoholic beers—something he's been experimenting with to cut calories, drink more responsibly, and stay social while still enjoying the taste of beer. As a longtime cocktail and IPA fan, Brad shares how his search for better NA options actually started with his dad, who quit drinking and discovered a game-changing brand called Bero (co-founded by Tom Holland).Brad breaks down why today's “mock beers” taste far better than the old-school O'Doul's and Corona Zeros—and how the explosion of Gen Z/Gen Alpha non-drinkers is fueling innovation across the industry.Brad reviews a wide range of NA beers across multiple categories, sharing what's worth buying—and what to skip:Bero (Bero/Barrow): The brand that started his journey. Solid lineup including hazy IPA, golden pilsner, wheat beer, and seasonal releases. Tastes surprisingly close to real beer.Athletic Brewing Co.: Brad's family favorite overall—huge variety, great flavors, constant new releases. Their Mexican-Style Copper stands out despite being a lower-calorie exception.Guinness Zero: The closest match to the original of any NA beer he's ever tasted. Nearly impossible to tell apart from real Guinness.Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White: One of the best wheat-style replicas; incredibly close to the classic flavor.Golden Road Mango Cart (NA): A top pick if you like fruity wheat beers—shockingly close to the real Mango Cart.Sam Adams Just the Haze: Brad's favorite hazy IPA option—refreshing, citrusy, and extremely satisfying.Lagunitas IPNA: A strong IPA choice true to the Lagunitas vibe.Asahi & Sapporo (Zero versions): Best-in-class among light NA beers; great pairing for sushi nights.Becks, Heineken Zero, Stella Zero: Solid middle-tier options—better than old-school NA beers but not as flavorful as Bero or Athletic.He also calls out what to avoid—especially NA beers under ~60 calories, which tend to taste like hop water. Athletic Brewing's “Athletic Light” and many 20–30 calorie beers miss the mark.Dark/Stout: Guinness ZeroIPA: Bero Double Tasty West Coast IPAHazy IPA: Sam Adams Just the HazeWheat Beer: Blue Moon NA Belgian WhiteFruity Wheat: Mango Cart NALight Beer: Athletic Brewing Mexican-Style CopperPilsner: Athletic Brewing Golden Pilsner (best of the few he's tried)Brad also notes a big missing category: Ambers/Reds. The top-rated pick online is Shiner Rodeo Red (NA), but he hasn't been able to find it yet.Brad explains how swapping real beers for NA options has helped him:Cut calorie intake significantlyReduce alcohol load on the liverStay social while drinking lessAvoid the “alcohol creep” during long social eventsImprove hydration and recoveryIf you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV
