Geoff has led Noom since 2023 as the company expands beyond weight management into a broader model that blends personalized psychology with modern medicine, while Nick is building Sunnyside around a similar idea in alcohol: that lasting change takes more than willpower alone. Together, they unpack what happens when the “noise” gets quieter, how medication can create a powerful window for change, and where behavior change, moderation, and modern digital care may be heading next.
