How psychedelics can help us cope with change, AI panic and our fear of the "new reality"
How Ozempic has changed the game for pharmaceutical companies
Why alcohol is "the worse drug of all"
How the Enhanced Games will actually improve drug testing at the Olympics
How most athletes struggle to make ends meet – and how the competition will help them earn proper money

James talks about:

How the Enhanced Games have given him fresh purpose
Why he isn’t worried about using testosterone to “juice to the gills” – safe for the impact on his fertility
Why stigma persists around performance enhancing drugs
Why this could become one of the biggest industries in the world
