Lucy Lord joins James Smith for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the air fryer sitting unused on 70% of UK kitchen counters and ends up tearing apart everything from protein marketing scams to the slow death of the British night out. A best-selling cookbook author and the woman behind Supper Club, Lucy is back with her third book, Love Your Air Fryer, and makes the case that cooking your own food is the most underrated act of self-care left in the modern world. 👁️ Try Neutonic: https://www.neutonic.com/jamessmith 🧪 Check your Test: https://www.manual.co/smith 📝 Business Mentoring: https://www.jamessmith.business 🏋🏼‍♂️ Online Coaching: https://www.jamessmithacademy.com Lucy Lord's Website – https://www.lordlucy.com Lucy Lord On Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/lordlucy/ Lucy Lord on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@lordlucyfoodstory⁩ She explains: ◼️ Why the air fryer is the most underutilised tool in your kitchen ◼️ How cooking is the lowest-hanging fruit for looking and feeling better ◼️ The protein con quietly corrupting your supermarket shop ◼️ Why "increasing your surface area for luck" works in dating, business and life ◼️ How "touching your future" rewires what you think you're capable of Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:00 The Air Fryer Problem No One Talks About 03:50 Why Cooking Is the Most Underrated Form of Self-Care 06:37 Air Fryer vs Oven — Why the Oven Is Becoming Obsolete 11:19 The Apple vs Probiotic Soda Con 12:54 Skipping the Foundations and Chasing the Trends 15:33 The Protein Ball Scam Exposed 19:23 Protein Water, Huel and the Death of the Real Meal 22:05 Why Britain's Grab-and-Go Culture Is Broken 23:15 James's Brutally Honest Review of Japan 27:44 Karoshi — Japan's Death From Overwork Crisis 29:09 The Birth Rate Collapse Hitting the Western World 32:11 Hustle Culture Is Stealing Men's Best Years 34:35 The 200 Dates That Led James to Tay 37:11 Lucy on Whether She Actually Wants Kids 39:01 Increasing Your Surface Area for Luck 39:45 Volume vs Intensity — The Dating Strategy That Works 43:52 GLP-1s, Smartphones and the Death of the Night Out 45:55 The Quiet Crisis of Men Disappearing From University 47:03 The Mumps, the Missed Lectures and James's Year of Chaos 50:21 Is a University Degree Even Worth It Anymore? 53:13 Inside Lucy's New Book — Love Your Air Fryer 58:39 Why James Is Forcing Lucy Onto YouTube 01:04:02 The Random Idea That Sold 3,500 Hats 01:06:28 How to Start a YouTube Channel With Just an iPhone 01:10:18 The Advice You Give Is the Advice You Need 01:10:33 Why James Avoids Gratitude 01:12:18 The Car as Forced Gratitude 01:13:04 Touching Your Future — The Concept That Changed Everything 01:17:46 Where to Find the Book, the Hats and Supper Club Learn more about your ad choices.
