    1 Hour of Exercise a Week Is All You Need (ep 75)
    Mar 26 2026
    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 SubscribeYouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists⁠📖What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Jing believes more direction matters more than simply doing more exerciseHow one hour a week of targeted training can be enough for many busy adultsWhy power, not just strength, has a stronger relationship with aging wellWhat Jing learned after working with seniors who want health now, not abstract longevityWhy losing the ability to jump can be an early warning sign for declining mobilityWhy he still believes exercise, sleep, and nutrition are the real foundation of longevityWhat Singapore is getting right, and still missing, when it comes to healthy aging📚Books, Audiobooks & Other RecommendationsSuper Agers by Eric Topol: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Super-Agers/Eric-Topol/9781668067666 🔥Watch Our Other Videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2VHfhKCfn0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H24ck-is5Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URrTXBwPGkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZE8F6qfgt0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oybU375fZxohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_dknB50qM👤👤HostsMichael Smith Jr.: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/Raz Kotler: https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/👤GuestJing Zhi Chua: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jing-zhi-chua/🔗Links & ResourcesAllset: https://allset.sgVALD: https://vald.com/

    Mar 18 2026
    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 EpisodeWhy women founders often need access, visibility, and trusted networks, not just capitalHow Danijela turned a personal setback into Female Net, a leadership summit, and a 15,000-woman communityWhy Yooop is designed as a safer networking platform for women than traditional social appsWhy male-dominated VC often misses the real needs of women founders and communitiesWhy Danijela sees herself as a strategic generalist powered by curiosityHow AI changed Yooop’s product direction and made the platform smarterWhy 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=i2VHfhKCfn0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H24ck-is5Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URrTXBwPGkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZE8F6qfgt0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oybU375fZxohttps://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 & ResourcesYooop: https://yooop.appUCLA: https://www.ucla.edu/Women in Tech Global: https://women-in-tech.org/

    Mar 13 2026
    Episode 73 brings Martyn Terpilowski back after his first Generalists appearance exploded across YouTube, TikTok, and Indonesian social media.
