There’s a debate going on about which will change the world more, AI or GLP-1s (the weight loss medication commonly known under brand names like Ozempic and Mounjaro). Julie Rice positions herself pretty firmly in the latter camp.
Rice was the co-founder of SoulCycle and Peoplehood, but has left active roles in both and is now chief experience officer at Weight Watchers, the weight loss community that emerged from bankruptcy in 2025. The 62-year-old company has now expanded into support in new areas like the menopause, as well as GLP-1 prescription and support, offering ‘wraparound care’ that Rice considers essential.
