| Tobacco giant Imperial Brands gives a fourth quarter update. Performance was ahead of expectations at the half year mark with price increases outweighing lower volumes. As consumers shift away from cigarettes, eyes are on if next generation products (vapes etc) can contribute more to sales and be a viable replacement. Arsalan Karim is the co-founder of healthwords.ai, an AI-powered health app created with pharmacists and doctors. We met him at the Oxford and Cambridge club near St James's Park. What's your favourite lunch spot? Luca in Farringdon. They have a beautiful garden and I think the best bread in the world. I have a great relationship with the owner so, on a Thursday at 1pm, I'm normally there having my business meetings. How do you save time? The OMAD+B diet, which stands for One Meal a Day plus Breakfast. I don't have dinner which saves me time and it makes me more productive and focused, and I sleep better. Favorite podcast? How I Built This by Guy Raz. I loved the episodes with the founders of Spotify and Ben & Jerry's. What are you reading? Zero Sugar, about how to minimise or eliminate sugar. I still love cakes — I've had a slice of cake with every lunch meal since I was 12, but I get fresh, homemade ones. On big days, I wear... I always have a combination of green pants, blue jacket and blue or white shirt. My co-founder also likes the same colours, so we look exactly the same. At the start of my career, I wish someone had told me… That everything takes longer than expected, but I think if you have persistence and determination, you'll get there in the end. How do you switch off? I'm from Yorkshire, so I love hiking in the Yorkshire Dales. I like a slow walk along the river or horse-riding, which I got from my dad who used to love horse racing. — Chloe Meley |
