From the history of contraception to the stigma around testosterone and the rise of synthetic hormones, Dr. Newson argues that hormonal health isn't a “women's issue”, it's a foundation of human health we've ignored for decades. Dr. Newson is a GP, menopause specialist, and founder of the Balance Menopause app, used by millions worldwide. In this powerful conversation, she reveals how hormones influence mental health, metabolism, fertility, and performance… and why balancing them could prevent depression, dementia, and chronic disease.

James opens up about his childhood, the significance of names, and how his upbringing shaped his passion for helping others.

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that. I'm sure it's happened … Rory understands things like that are going to happen.”Fake billionaire manbaby “retirements” continue DRSpotify CEO Daniel Ek to Step Down.

Thankfully Jon's work returned to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 with a new film, “Babushka,” and again he took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Featurette - Horror. And even better, Jon flew all the way from London for the interview (well the festival) and that meant we had plenty of time to do our in-person 4Qs follow up!

James Smith es médico de emergencias humanitarias. Ha trabajado en distintos momentos en la franja de Gaza desde el inicio del asedio israelí, el 7 de octubre de 2023. Ha descrito la crudeza de la situación vivida no solo por los ciudadanos sino también por los médicos. Critica a Israel por someter al hambre extrema a una población que está muriendo por desnutrición, según los partes médicos solo en las últimas horas han muerto 7 personas por hambre. Dice que las pausas humanitarias de Israel no están funcionando y critica el lanzamiento de ayuda aérea.
This is a special podcast for me. Why? Jon James Smith wrote and directed “Last Orders,” a horror short that took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Short Film - Horror at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2022. As a London resident, Jon was not able to attend the festival but I made a point to tell him of how well-received the film had been. I invited Jon onto the podcast then and he held off for a great reason. He did not want to Zoom in from London for the interview, he wanted to do it in person. Thankfully Jon's work returned to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 with a new film, “Babushka,” and again he took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Featurette - Horror. But Jon was able to attend FI-LA's 10th Anniversary Edition and, even though I prefer to do nothing the day after a festival wraps... how could I say no to having Jon over to the house to record a podcast? I hope you all enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. And a huge thank-you to Jon for being the kind of person who follows through on his intentions with actions!

It's the middle of another week…and as Chris Williamson just discussed recently, I'm feeling that “productivity debt” weighing on me. Yet, I'm still sitting here quite certain that I can predict what's next for Neutonic...the productivity CPG brand that he's building with James Smith (and Shan Hanif). But that “vague sense of falling behind” can come in many shapes and sizes. In fact, I'm feeling that productivity debt right now…after taking forever (especially for internet standards) to meaningfully comment on a specific piece of business news involving a brand operating within my deep domain expertise, which is (as many of you know already) the intersecting categories of functional foods, functional beverages, and nutritional supplements. So, while I certainly read a few of those articles that began circulating the interwebs earlier this month about Neutonic raising just over $3 million…all that initial dynamic fascination and pattern deconstruction (in an attempt to) “see around the corner” didn't materialize into a formal output until now. But don't fret, this extra “think time” invariably led to the type of compelling insights you won't find anyone else. In November 2023, Neutonic initially launching one flavor of what it dubbed “the world's first productivity drink,” quickly selling out all inventory online. And this positive commercial result was largely the result of Neutonic possessing two powerful “creators turned CPG founders” with Modern Wisdom podcast host Chris Williamson and fitness YouTuber James Smith. And not to sound like a broken record at this point…but I'm a longtime believer that the most popular creators of today can become the biggest CPG brands of tomorrow. But speaking of all that…since the initial launch, Neutonic has sold over 3 million cans of its productivity drink thus far. And within the U.S. and UK markets combined, deploying a sales channel strategy prioritizing DTC, Amazon, and TikTok shop…Neutonic reported generating more than $10 million in revenue. But while sales activity is still concentrated on RTD productivity beverages…the product line has expanded to include non-caffeinated “focus” powder sticks and non-caffeinated “brain” capsules, with all science-backed formulations sharing the same nucleus of utilizing the optimal clinical dose of Cognizin citicoline. But it's pretty obvious that Neutonic has outsized ambitions, but a few million dollars of outside capital isn't going to get a relatively unknown beverage brand, positioned within a nascent energy drink subcategory…considerable traction within certain U.S. sales channels (like convenience). So, my latest first principles thinking content piece will explore what Neutonic needs to achieve if it wants to attract strategic buyers like Nutrabolt (C4 Energy).

In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I'm joined by James B. Smith, Founder and CEO of Rare Placement, for a wide-ranging conversation on modern leadership, executive search, and the future of talent in the retail industry.James brings an exceptional career journey to the mic, beginning in advertising with agencies like Grey and Ogilvy, moving into marketing leadership at Citibank, in leadership roles at Esquire and then Conde Nast Traveller—where he helped it become the top-performing title, even outpacing Vogue. His passion for growth and transformation led him to become a CEO, owner-operator, and eventually launch Rare Placement, a boutique executive search firm focused on personalized, human-centric talent solutions.In our conversation, James emphasizes the power of storytelling—not just for brands, but for leaders. He reveals that every candidate he's placed has gone on to become a client, a testament to his laser focus on culture fit, agility, and soft skills over just resumes. We dive into how executive hiring has changed, why modern CEOs need courage, humility, and the ability to say “I don't know,” and how COVID permanently reshaped leadership styles and expectations around flexibility and culture.James shares practical advice for current and aspiring retail leaders—from building a strong, concise personal narrative to investing in ongoing networking, not just when you're in transition. He stresses that succession planning should be an ongoing, layered strategy, and reminds executives that “people buy leaders, not logos.”We also explore the increasing importance of board roles—both fiduciary and advisory—and how executives can position themselves for these opportunities by knowing what they uniquely bring to the table.Whether you're a retail executive planning your next move, a CEO rethinking your leadership team, or a rising leader wondering how to stand out, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Learn why understanding the Declaration of Independence is important especially in these tumultuous times when patriotism is at an all time low. Discover why the Second Continental Congress decided to have a Declaration of Independence and how a committee of five of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were chosen to draft it. Explore why John Adams insisted that Thomas Jefferson draft it, and how the Committee and the Second Continental Congress changed Jefferson's draft. Hear the entire Declaration of Independence, the most profound words written in the English language that were approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.Most Americans have never read the entire Declaration of Independence and have a elementary grade level understanding of it. Most remember the soaring words of the second paragraph (“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among the are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”), and maybe the last clause (“we mutually pledge our to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”), and have not reviewed in any detail the remainder of the 1320 words. The rest is not just taxation without representation. There were 27 grievances listed by the Founding Fathers, of which taxation without representation is but one. In addition to the amazing, stirring words we are familiar with, and with the exceptions of John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, nearly no one knows the entire roster of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The full roster of the signers is John Adams, Samuel Adams, Josiah Bartlett, Carter Braxton, Charles Carroll of Carrolton, Samuel Chase, Abraham Clark, George Clymer, William Ellery, William Floyd, Benjamin Franklin, Elbridge Gerry, Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, John Hancock, Benjamin Harrison, John Hart, Joseph Hewes, Thomas Hayward, Jr., William Hooper, Stephen Hopkins, Francis Hopkinson, Samuel Huntington, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Lightfoot Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Laws, Philip Livingston, Thomas Lynch, Jr., Thomas McKean, Arthur Middleton, Lewis Morris, Robert Morris, John Morton, Thomas Nelson, Jr. , William Paca, Robert Treat Paine, John Penn, George Read, Caesar Rodney, George Ross, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Edward Rutledge, Roger Sherman, James Smith, Richard Stockton, Thomas Stone, George Taylor, Matthew Thorton, George Walton, William Whipple, William Williams, James Wilson, John Witherspoon, Oliver Wolcott, and George Wythe.Listen at your leisure to the amazing Declaration of Independence.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with James Smith, who leads ThoughtSpot's business across EMEA. With over 15 years in the analytics space, James shares how AI is shifting the way organizations use data, and why that change is not just about technology, but also about mindset and culture. James explains how ThoughtSpot is helping businesses move toward a more autonomous model, where AI-powered tools handle repetitive queries and free up analysts for more strategic work. He shares how ThoughtSpot's “Spotter” tool enables business users to ask and answer their own data questions, helping to reduce the bottlenecks that many central data teams face. But this isn't about removing people from the process. It's about enabling better collaboration between AI and human decision-makers, where transparency and context guide smarter actions. We also talk about ThoughtSpot's internal motto, “2% done,” and how that mentality drives continuous innovation. In a world that's changing rapidly, it's a reminder that staying curious, challenging assumptions, and building from first principles can unlock new levels of performance. As demand for AI-powered insights increases, James highlights the growing importance of strong data foundations. It's not enough to just add AI on top. Organizations need to invest in data quality, governance, and flexible platforms that support users at every level of maturity. From enabling better business decisions to giving non-technical users easier access to insights, James offers a grounded view of what AI can really deliver today. If you're working to build a data-driven culture, or looking to put more power in the hands of your teams, this conversation offers practical ideas to guide that transformation. How are you preparing your business for this shift in analytics? Let me know.
