📍 1 Triton Square, London NW1 3BF

\r\n

We are living through an unprecedented experiment. Billions of people, including entire generations of young people, are spending hours each day on platforms designed to capture attention, reshape identity, and alter mood. The consequences for mental health, sleep, body image, and social connection are only beginning to be understood.

\r\n

Join us for an evening of honest, evidence-based conversation about what social media is actually doing to our bodies and minds. You will hear from thought leaders working at the sharpest edge of this question, and leave with a richer understanding of the science, the stakes, and what might be done. The evening also includes a guided breathwork workshop, a rare moment to step back from your screen and reconnect with your body.

\r\n

This event is part of the wider mission of King's College London's Centre for Technology and the Body, where researchers are urgently examining how technology, from smartphones and wearables to ultra-processed food and environmental pollution, is reshaping human health and how we see ourselves. This work has never been more needed.

I’m John Reynolds, an entrepreneur, investor, creator, connector and media host with a passion for connecting capital and people with credibility and opportunity, and content with purpose. My first chapter was in real estate. I co-founded Titan Property Developments, where I oversaw the development of 1000+ homes, delivering a GDV of over £250M. I personally raised £45M+ in equity from ultra-high-net-worth investors. I built quietly assembling a first class manangement and delivery team, and delivered at scale and pace to gain market share and built a track record of performing.

\r\n

I’m an early investor and Relationship Director at JAAQ, where I continue to help source and shape investment, commercial deals, strategic partnerships and relationships. I have a track record of value-enhancing introductions and creating measurable impact, not just capital, but high-value individuals who elevate the mission, importantly at the crucial early stages and help shape the board. These include brilliant people like Alex Packham, Mo Gawdat, Jim Mellon, Paul Thandi CBE, Kevin Adeson, Simon Morris, Steve Hewitt, Avnish Goyal CBE and many others. I act as a connector, advisor, and brand ambassador, translating JAAQ’s mission into commercially valuable conversations with institutions, investors, and celebrities. I'm naturally curious and creative, so I created and host Extraordinary Life Stories, a Sky/Bloomberg TV broadcast series where I personally invite guests I can learn invaluable knowledge and truths from, and enjoy sharing. These brilliant guests include Stephen Fry, Karen Millen OBE, John Caudwell, Jonny Wilkinson MBE and others. I’m also the co-creator of ADHD: Beyond the Label, a Sky/Bloomberg broadcast interview series and storytelling platform focused on one of the most misunderstood conditions in mental health.
