    1 Hour of Exercise a Week Is All You Need (ep 75)

    Jing Zhi Chua explains why most people do not need more exercise, they need more direction. He breaks down why one hour a week can be enough for many people, why strength assessments matter more than generic workouts, and why the real goal is often not longevity in the abstract but better health, movement, and mobility right now. He also explains why power matters more than strength alone, how small weaknesses become injury risks, and why efficient training becomes more valuable as people get older. 🤝 Sponsored by ⁠⁠https://TAP4SRV.com⁠⁠ - Quickly find local Service Providers on WhatsApp! 🤝 Episode 75 also dives into what Jing is learning from working with seniors in Singapore, including why many clients in their sixties and seventies are not chasing biohacking or lifespan extension but trying to walk better, move with confidence, and regain abilities they have lost. He shares practical markers of decline like losing the ability to jump or pour a heavy kettle, explains how he thinks about blood flow restriction and other emerging methods, and gives his broader take on longevity in Singapore, where he still believes the fundamentals of exercise, sleep, and nutrition matter more than hype. 🔔Listen and Subscribe • YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast⁠⁠ • Spotify: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4⁠⁠ • Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists⁠⁠ 📖What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why Jing believes more direction matters more than simply doing more exercise • How one hour a week of targeted training can be enough for many busy adults • Why power, not just strength, has a stronger relationship with aging well • What Jing learned after working with seniors who want health now, not abstract longevity • Why losing the ability to jump can be an early warning sign for declining mobility • Why he still believes exercise, sleep, and nutrition are the real foundation of longevity • What Singapore is getting right, and still missing, when it comes to healthy aging 📚Books, Audiobooks & Other Recommendations • Super Agers by Eric Topol: ⁠https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Super-Agers/Eric-Topol/9781668067666⁠ 🔥Watch Our Other Videos: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2VHfhKCfn0⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H24ck-is5Y⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URrTXBwPGk⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZE8F6qfgt0⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oybU375fZxo⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_dknB50qM⁠ 👤👤Hosts • Michael Smith Jr.: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/⁠ • Raz Kotler: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/⁠ 👤Guest • Jing Zhi Chua: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jing-zhi-chua/⁠ 🔗Links & Resources • Allset: ⁠https://allset.sg⁠ • VALD: ⁠https://vald.com/⁠

    The World Wasn’t Built for Women (ep 74)

    Danijela Vasiljev explains why women founders still struggle to access the right networks, visibility, and funding, and how Yooop is trying to solve that with a safer, more useful platform built for women. She shares why these challenges look surprisingly similar across the US, Europe, and Asia, and why women often need more than capital to grow. Episode 74 also dives into the personal story behind her mission. Danijela opens up about losing the salon business she built during her divorce, why she chose to start over instead of going to court, and how that setback led to Female Net, the Female Leadership Summit, and eventually Yooop. She also breaks down why traditional networking platforms often miss what women actually need, why male VCs often fail to understand the bigger picture, and why curiosity, AI skills, and financial literacy matter so much for the next generation. 🤝 Sponsored by https://TAP4SRV.com - Quickly find local Service Providers on WhatsApp! 🤝 📖What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why women founders often need access, visibility, and trusted networks, not just capital • How Danijela turned a personal setback into Female Net, a leadership summit, and a 15,000-woman community • Why Yooop is designed as a safer networking platform for women than traditional social apps • Why male-dominated VC often misses the real needs of women founders and communities • Why Danijela sees herself as a strategic generalist powered by curiosity • How AI changed Yooop’s product direction and made the platform smarter • Why Danijela believes AI skills and financial literacy are essential for young women 🔔Listen and Subscribe • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4 • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists 📚Books, Audiobooks & Other Recommendations • Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/667771/unreasonable-hospitality-by-will-guidara/ 🔥Watch Our Other Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2VHfhKCfn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H24ck-is5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URrTXBwPGk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZE8F6qfgt0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oybU375fZxo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_dknB50qM 👤👤Hosts • Michael Smith Jr.: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/ • Raz Kotler: https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/ 👤Guest • Danijela Vasiljev: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danijela-vasiljev/ 🔗Links & Resources • Yooop: https://yooop.app • UCLA: https://www.ucla.edu/ • Women in Tech Global: https://women-in-tech.org/

    Anthony Sochan, co-founder of Think & Grow, breaks down what founders get wrong about boards, executive hiring, and scaling decisions under pressure. Learn how to design a board that actually helps the business, avoid early-stage hiring traps, and make better decisions when capital is tight. Anthony explains why most startup boards become passive, why accountability inside boards is often weak, and how investor incentives can diverge from founder outcomes. He shares practical guidance on when to form a formal board, how to use independent directors, and why advisory structures can work when founder bandwidth is limited.

    The Future of Protein Tests (ep 69)

    Shavit Clein, CEO of Thrixen, breaks down what it takes to build deep tech healthcare diagnostics from Singapore. Learn how a generalist founder can navigate regulated healthcare, raise cross-border capital, and turn complex science into products people can actually use. Shavit explains why healthcare is a "level-by-level" industry, where regulation, buyer complexity, and long commercialization cycles make execution very different from traditional software startups. He shares how he transitioned from Trax into diagnostics, built domain fluency without formal medical training, and learned to translate technical depth into investor-ready narratives. Episode 69 goes deep on fundraising after the COVID diagnostics bubble, platform versus single-application strategy, and why US investors often evaluate medtech differently from local markets. It also covers antimicrobial resistance, product usability for minimally trained operators, and Singapore's role as an infrastructure and talent hub for globally oriented deep tech. 📖 What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why healthcare feels "laddered" and harder to navigate than typical tech markets • How Shavit built credibility in diagnostics without a medical degree • How Thrixen's protein-focused platform differs from PCR-first narratives • Why platform positioning mattered for valuation and venture-scale outcomes • How COVID-era market dynamics changed diagnostics fundraising • Why US investors often prefer platform technology over single applications • How to pitch deep technical products to non-technical investors • Why bacterial vs viral testing matters for antibiotic stewardship • How SMART, NRF, and local ecosystem support helped Thrixen scale • What founders should prioritize when building long-cycle deep tech companies 🔔 Listen and Subscribe • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4 • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists 🔥 Watch Our Other Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW2bxHjUl-Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyxPGyIQPUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sikOVWtFedI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H24ck-is5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2VHfhKCfn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URrTXBwPGk 👤 Hosts • Michael Smith Jr.: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/ • Raz Kotler: https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/ 👤 Guest • Shavit Clein: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shavitclein/ 🔗 Resources and Links Mentioned 🏢 Companies and Organizations • Thrixen: https://www.thrixen.com/ • Trax: https://www.traxretail.com/ • SMART (Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology): https://smart.mit.edu/ • National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF): https://www.nrf.gov.sg/ • SGInnovate: https://www.sginnovate.com/ • Enterprise Singapore: https://www.enterprisesg.gov.sg/ • EDB Singapore: https://www.edb.gov.sg/ • A*STAR: https://www.a-star.edu.sg/ 📚 Concepts and Frameworks • Immunoassay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoassay • C-reactive protein (CRP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-reactive_protein • Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerase_chain_reaction • Biomarker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomarker_(medicine) • Antimicrobial resistance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_resistance • FDA (US Food and Drug Administration): https://www.fda.gov/ 👥 People and Profiles • Rhonda Patrick: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/ • Siddhartha Mukherjee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddhartha_Mukherjee 📖 Books • The Emperor of All Maladies: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Emperor-of-All-Maladies/Siddhartha-Mukherjee/9781439170915 • The Gene: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Gene/Siddhartha-Mukherjee/9781476733524 • The Song of the Cell: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Song-of-the-Cell/Siddhartha-Mukherjee/9781982117368

    Don't Start a Business, Buy One (ep 68)

    GenCap Partners breaks down how entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) and search-fund style investing are creating a practical path to buy and grow small businesses in Singapore and Malaysia. Instead of starting from zero, Zachary Lee and Eric Koh explain how operators can acquire existing cash-flowing SMEs, professionalize management, and scale with clearer downside protection than many early-stage startup bets. They cover how GenCap matches operators to assets, how SPV-based deal structures change incentives, and why seller motivation often determines whether a deal closes. 📖 What You’ll Learn in This Episode • How ETA and search-fund models differ from traditional VC funds • Why GenCap targets consistency over power-law outcomes • How risk, return, and loss ratios compare across VC, PE, and SME deals • The four core underwriting lenses: asset quality, valuation, team, and structure • Why seller motivation is a first-meeting diligence priority • Common SME red flags: key-man risk, customer concentration, and weak controls • How SPV structures reduce forced deployment and forced exits • How succession trends and demographics are shaping SME opportunities • Where AI and tech modernization can improve post-acquisition operations 🎧 Listen and Subscribe • YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast](https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast) • Spotify: [https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4](https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4) • Apple Podcasts: [https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists](https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists) 🎙️ Hosts • Michael Smith Jr.: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/) • Raz Kotler: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/) 👤👤 Guests • Zachary Lee: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehuisiang/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehuisiang/) • Eric Koh: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/koheric/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/koheric/) 🔗 Resources and Links Mentioned 🏢 Companies and Products • GenCap Partners: [https://www.gencap.asia/](https://www.gencap.asia/) • Dorje AI: [https://dorje.ai/](https://dorje.ai/) • Microsoft: [https://www.microsoft.com/](https://www.microsoft.com/) • NVIDIA: [https://www.nvidia.com/](https://www.nvidia.com/) • SGX (Singapore Exchange): [https://www.sgx.com/](https://www.sgx.com/) • Bursa Malaysia: [https://www.bursamalaysia.com/](https://www.bursamalaysia.com/) 📚 Concepts and Frameworks • Search Fund: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_fund](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_fund) • Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA): [https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/case-studies/case-search-fund-entrepreneurship-through-acquisition](https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/case-studies/case-search-fund-entrepreneurship-through-acquisition) • Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV): [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special-purpose_entity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special-purpose_entity) 👥 People and Profiles • Codie Sanchez: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/codiesanchez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/codiesanchez) 🎙️ Podcasts and Media • The Diary Of A CEO: [https://www.thediaryofaceo.com/](https://www.thediaryofaceo.com/) • The Game Of Impossible: [https://open.spotify.com/show/2pZcmJ2r4v98VqywQCFeXk](https://open.spotify.com/show/2pZcmJ2r4v98VqywQCFeXk) 📖 Books • Die With Zero (Bill Perkins): [https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/bill-perkins/die-with-zero/9780358567097/](https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/bill-perkins/die-with-zero/9780358567097/)
