Originally from South Africa and now based in Switzerland, John draws from decades of entrepreneurial experience to help founders create businesses that thrive without requiring their constant involvement.John shares how his early experiences of freedom and inequality shaped the values that continue to guide his work today. He reflects on building and scaling a successful business in South Africa, the challenges he faced when preparing to sell it, and the realization that being at the center of every decision had ultimately limited the company's value and his own freedom. This episode is a MUST-LISTEN!

Joanna Moncrieff, professor of critical and social psychiatry at University College London, joins for a far-reaching discussion on depression, psychiatric diagnosis, antidepressants, the medical model of mental illness, and the expanding influence of psychiatry in contemporary society. Drawing on decades of clinical practice, research, and critical scholarship, Moncrieff challenges the assumption that mental disorders can be understood simply as underlying biological diseases and examines the evidence behind the widely repeated chemical imbalance theory of depression. The conversation explores the distinction between disease-centred and drug-centred approaches to psychiatric medication, the effectiveness and limitations of antidepressants, withdrawal, and the ways pharmaceutical interests have influenced psychiatric research and treatment. Moncrieff also considers the historical development of psychiatric interventions and the broader question of what happens when ordinary human experiences such as grief, distress, and social suffering become increasingly medicalised. The discussion moves beyond medication into questions of power, social control, and the changing boundaries of normality, drawing on Michel Foucault's concept of biopower and examining why psychiatric diagnoses have become increasingly prominent in public life. Vigo and Moncrieff also discuss ADHD, autism, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and the political and cultural implications of expanding psychiatric categories. Throughout, the conversation asks whether psychiatry should be understood primarily as a branch of medicine or as a discipline shaped by social values, institutional power, and contested ideas about human behaviour. The episode offers a sustained examination of what psychiatric diagnosis means, what psychiatric drugs actually do, and how mental distress might be understood beyond the conventional medical framework.

For decades, depression has often been described as the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. But how strong is the evidence behind that idea? This episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to be actively debated and is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion—not to provide individualized medical advice. Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Joanna Moncrieff to examine the science behind the serotonin theory and explore how it shaped modern mental health care. Together, we consider why rethinking our assumptions may open the door to a more complete understanding of depression and recovery. We discuss: • Whether depression is best understood through the lens of a chemical imbalance—or something far more complex • How the serotonin theory shaped modern psychiatry and why it's increasingly being questioned • What current research says about antidepressants, emotional numbing, and informed consent • Why lifestyle, nutrition, trauma, and social connection deserve a larger role in supporting mental health • How a more individualized, whole-person approach could change the way we think about depression and recovery Mental health treatment is deeply personal, and this episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to evolve. If you're currently taking antidepressants or other prescription medications, don't stop or change your treatment based on this discussion alone. Instead, use it as a starting point for an informed conversation with your healthcare provider. Learn More: Dr. Moncrieff recently participated in an FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy.

Once upon a time, friendships almost happened by accident. You met people through school, work, or as a childhood friend. Today, we're more connected than ever. We can stay in touch with friends living on the other side of the world in seconds. But making new friends as adults often feels surprisingly difficult. Have we forgotten how to make friends, and has it become easier or harder as time's gone on? Presenter Muireann O'Connell and comedian Pat Shortt join Sean Moncrieff on Then V Now to discuss.

But are all those ways of connecting actually bringing us closer together? From texting versus calling, to the art of letter writing, Sean is joined by author Barbara Scully and comedian Shane Daniel Byrne to explore whether modern life has made us better communicators or whether we were actually better at it in the past.

Nick talks to Jean Moncrieff, CEO of the Small Giants Community and author of Finding Freedom, who shares his personal journey of building a company, almost losing it through an ill-advised exit, and eventually selling it successfully to his management team.  The conversation explores how business owners can build high-value, purpose-driven companies that offer genuine lifestyle freedom. Jean and Nick dive deep into the crucial role of alignment, the psychology of leadership, and how to successfully navigate different exit options—including employee ownership models—by cultivating a high-performing leadership team. KEY TAKEAWAYS To successfully scale a business, founders must shift their mindset from needing to be the smartest person in the room to intentionally surrounding themselves with leaders who are highly capable of running things independently. When building a leadership team, alignment with the company's core values and unique culture is just as critical as a candidate's tactical skills and job capabilities. As an unprecedented wave of baby boomer business owners look to retire, a severe shortage of capable incoming leaders is creating a significant leadership vacuum. True financial and lifestyle freedom is achieved by systematically executing three distinct phases in order: exiting daily operational chaos, exiting the business's management operations, and finally, executing the financial exit of the business itself. BEST MOMENTS "Feed me, John, feed me... I was chasing output, I was chasing revenue... and I thought that's what this was all about."  "You don't want to control your business, you want to be able to curate above it; you want to be in charge, but control is bad because you're stuck in everything."  "I think it's almost like sticking a light bulb into the socket, and if the wiring's done right, the thing lights up." "The quickest way that I advise the founders that I work with to get to where they want to get to is bring the person who's done it. Bring the person in... and then get out of the way."
