thrilled to share ANOTHER WGM Collaboration on Mile 40 podcast, if you don't know <@U091QQ1C7NU> you absolutely should!! Check out this episode and if you like what you hear, drop a review!!
Cleo Abram is a fantastic creator who has great packaging for all her videos -
Super cool - first thing I see that could be improved is packaging (Titles/Thumbnails). There's too much copy on the thumbnail and it's a bit too cluttered. A few best practices:
-Less is more in thumbnails, given that it is such a small creative real estate. My recommendation is no more than 3 focal points in a thumbnail
-Focus on bright colors, high contrast
-Try to create a curiosity gap. You want people to see the title and thumbnail and be intrigued to then click on the video. If they don't click they don't watch.
A really close friend of mine left his corporate job at 'Hello Fresh' and started a chef/travel Youtube channel (like an Anthony Bourdain)
I'm really proud of him and he released his this week on food/history in NYC.
Check out the 7 min vid if it's your thing!
And maybe <@U0A3557AUPJ> can share some quick feedback in the comments on how he can improve his Youtube page that everyone can benefit from?
Not my post but wanted to share, I found as far as an approach to setting company priorities and alignment on goals.
Accountability post! Committing to showing up more in this amazing community. Maybe I'll even post one of those intro posts I’ve never done despite being a member for 2 1/2 years 😆. And great to catch up with @Brian Von Ancken this week. Excited to see everyone at the <#C0A9J1K1DLY|> event in Venice next month. Cheers.
I'm hosting an AMA with Kayla Barnes on Reddit next week!
If any WGM folks have questions or interest in female biohacking, feel free to ask questions here:
This is our first official AMA, so trying to get some engagement! 🙏
Is there a recording available from our call on Wednesday?
adding another!
and @Teddy Daiell sent me these guys
It's utter madness lol
Just got a Macbook, my first ever and now need to convert my home office to work with a Mac. Anyone have any favorite peripherals, mouse, keyboard, docking station etc? I would like to still use my existing PC monitors
> They’re getting killed in the comments, so this clearly wasn’t meant to land quietly 😅. I get the intent of contrasting AI slop with something human, but using the same tech it critiques is an interesting move. If you miss the context, it can come off as tone-deaf pretty fast. Either way, the comments are fun!
haha they def are good at creating headlines! whatever AI they're using for the images is pretty crisp!
Would make more sense if the people they show in the “yourself “ pic were doing something physically demanding not just standing there looking like models
Haha would need to know the goal of the campaign first. Maybe they're optimizing for mentions in health-focused slack channels!
Was featured in a New York Times article about Ear Seeding! Check it out and ping me with an questions :)
Todays drop of Mile 40 featured WGM and fellow podcaster legend <@U08G4A655M0>! Was sincerely one of my favorite conversations to date and not in the least surprised it came as a result of this group. Check it out here!
Well said by @Jen Squilla….any thoughts on new ChatGpt Health?
I just finally got around to posting my health predictions for 2026!
Would love to see other people's. Feel free to add yours to this thread!
Should we take bets? 👀
Hi, WGMers -
I put together a pretty massive playlist featuring dozens of albums that I found featured across a number of Best of Year lists from various publications/critics I follow/trust. Some personal favorites are here (Geese, Perfume Genius, Clipse, Blood Orange, Jeff Tweedy) along with many that I’ll be digging into for the first time - looking forward to discovering some new tunes and thought I’d share in case there are any others who need soundtracks to function! This is as eclectic of a mix as I’ve ever assembled and firmly believe there is something for everyone!
Happy listening!
For the rare Harry Potter x longevity fan 😆
Happy Holidays! 🎉🎁 I wanted to personally invite you all as I’m hosting a FREE 30-minute New Year Midlife Workshop on Jan 5 at 1 PM ET where I’ll walk through the 3 key HABITS to upgrade in 2026 so you can start the year thriving, not exhausted.
No prep needed, just come as you are and you’ll leave with a simple, action-focused plan.
Here’s the link — it’s a quick 1-minute sign-up (and you’ll get the recording even if you can’t make it live). Also, if you have a friend who’s been saying, “something feels off lately,” please feel free to forward this to her too. Excited to kickoff 2026 together 💪Xo

As we near the end of 2025, I wanted to step back and synthesize the ~280 deals and ~$13B of capital invested across the Health & Wellness space this year to answer a handful of key questions: Which deals and themes were most important in 2025? What are whitespace opportunities for 2026? What deals were most important for the different types of investors who pay attention to this space?
This is a big reason why WGM exits! It's important to find people who've been there/done that to save time and $$
