I skipped lunch three times last week. Not because I wanted to—back-to-back calls, no time, and my options were: waste 30 minutes prepping, grab drive-thru garbage, or just stay hungry. By 3pm I’m making terrible decisions because my blood sugar’s crashed and I can’t focus.
Huel Black Edition fixes this. 35 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals—it’s a complete meal, not a protein shake. Under $5, zero prep, and I’m not losing my afternoon to hunger brain.

Last Week’s Episodes
1. Richard Fain - Royal Caribbean Chairman | How Culture Took Us from $550M to $90 Billion
Richard D. Fain led Royal Caribbean Group as CEO from 1988, growing it from a $550 million company into a $90 billion cruise industry giant. A Berkeley and Wharton grad, he’s known for pioneering revolutionary ship designs and sustainability initiatives that changed how the world cruises. His culture-driven leadership style built one of the most innovative and successful companies in global travel. He now serves as Chairman of the Board.
2. Nicholas Thompson - CEO of The Atlantic (50k American Record Holder) | The Simple Sport That Reveals Everything About You
Nicholas Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic, where he has led one of the most successful turnarounds in American media—achieving profitability, record subscriptions, and three Pulitzer Prizes since 2021. Previously editor-in-chief of Wired (where he boosted digital subscriptions nearly 300%) and editor of NewYorker.com, Thompson co-founded two tech ventures sold to WordPress and Amplica Labs, edited stories that became the Oscar-winning film Argo, and authored The Hawk and the Dove, hailed as “brilliant” by The Washington Post. An American record holder in the 50K run with 2 million social media followers, he embodies the intersection of editorial excellence, entrepreneurial vision, and athletic discipline—bringing the same relentless drive to building media companies as he does to distance running.
3. Lessons - You’re Tired From Not Finishing (Scott)
In this “Lessons” episode, we’re exposing why you’re exhausted all the time: It’s not from working too much, it’s from carrying dozens of unfinished things in your head. Every unanswered text, every avoided decision, every half-done project drains your mental energy all day without you noticing. Here’s why unfinished tasks destroy your energy more than actual work—and how closing them gives you your energy back immediately.
See you next week,
Scott
