James Smith: Building Neutonic into a Billion Pound Brand
28:06
J
6:31Jack FrimstonHOST
So typically now the people that are attracted to, maybe you can put it in two ways, either Newtonic or working with you directly, what would you say are the main kind of symptoms they might be struggling with? If you're the doctor and they're the patient, what are they struggling with?
J
6:50James SmithGUEST
And if you're alive today, you've got a lineage of a lot of smart humans that evolved through a lot of difficult things.

Zac ThompsonHOST
It feels with New Tonic, it's very easy to say, you and Chris go and sell it, but then where are you getting involved behind the scenes, flavours, business operations?

Uh, Sian was running Genflow, so we came together as a four, and we are the shareholders of the business.

J
2:39James SmithGUEST
Yeah, what I suggest, first point, of course, as I argue, is that if you look at those two columns, it's pretty clear what the right choice is.
J
2:50James SmithGUEST
Not enough time to read, do your work, and missing the clever conversation in clubs with men.
J
2:58James SmithGUEST
And what do you get in return? Female chit-chat and something that's better than a dog anyhow.
J
3:08James SmithGUEST
And underlying, of course, all that loss of time, I think, is his worry that he will not achieve his scientific legacy.
Why Is Balding Such A PROBLEM ~ Chris Williamson
J

University, then even throughout my 20s, I was very much into my fitness, but at the same time, there was always at least one extremely heavy blowout at the weekend.

And obviously a lot of people have different views on the theatre, good, bad or otherwise.

For us, with the CBD, we get a little bit frustrated when we start to see lots of people being negative about the south end of town and appreciate we've got quite a number of empty buildings around us.

How AI is Evolving the Streaming TV Ad Pod and Driving Incremental Revenue with James Smith, GM of Monetization at Frequency
9:59

Tim RoweHOST
How is this being adopted? How does the in-scene advertising piece become adopted? Is it at the publisher level? Is it streaming apps specifically? Who uses this tech?
J
10:11James SmithGUEST
So the great news is everybody's looking for a better way and a better experience.
J
10:16James SmithGUEST
And like I said, the point here is to drive better ROAS, whatever the unit may be, and to maximize hours of viewing and reduce drop-off, right? So the good news is on the adoption side, the platforms are all for these new units, right? They're having a hard time chasing the pod and the fill rate piece.

Adrian GoldbergHOST
2023 just tell me what it's like for you though in al-mawassid because i think people in the west perhaps in the uk in the united states may not know that this is normally a kind of a fertile agricultural region relatively small population but very very different to that now
J
1:36James SmithGUEST
Let me try and paint a picture of what al-Mawassi looked like when I first arrived in Gaza back in December of 2023.
J
1:49James SmithGUEST
At that time, there were already hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that had been displaced from their homes.
J
1:57James SmithGUEST
But al-Mawassi itself was an area in which many people had yet to be forcibly displaced.
J
2:05James SmithGUEST
What's happened is that Over the course of the last three years now, Israel has progressively forced the Palestinian people into an ever-shrinking space.

yes and i mentioned the israeli elections in october israeli voters will at least have a degree of agency about what happens next they can re-elect netanyahu they can elect one of his rivals of course once elected those The governments will do what they will, but there is at least a role that ordinary Israelis can play, but the people that you're caring for and that you're living amongst, they have no agency in a moment like this.
Thinking Inside the Box - The Gauntlet EP37: Rotation 26-08, 2-3ID and 3-15IN (NTC Warrior Chronicles)

J
6:44James SmithGUEST
So I came, much like Sergeant Major Willis, took over at RSOIs where I met our S4, I met our Master Gunner, I met our key players for the battalion, as well as all the soldiers here.
J
6:53James SmithGUEST
My first objective was kind of to observe our systems and processes for the battalion, see how we communicate with each other, how the leaders took charge, how the soldiers received the message and then initiated movement on the plan.
J
7:03James SmithGUEST
As we got moving forward, before we moved into the box, I brought in all my NCOs and I kind of laid out my expectations for them, which was two things.
