I... I never thought about... Listen, I went to medical school. I was at MIT as an undergrad studying molecular biology. And then I went to Harvard for medical school to make my parents happy. I had promised them I would do this. But then my fourth year of medical school, I had two companies that I was running, a rocket company and a space university.

And I thought about longevity to some degree, but it was not my driver. And I was focused on space. And I was focused on opening the space frontier. And then I was focused on, through the XPRIZE and Singularity University, focused on solving grand challenges. And it was really the last decade that I'm like, oh, my God, the biggest grand challenge is can we extend the healthy human lifespan, right?

The greatest wealth is your health. I love the saying, the man or woman who has their health has a thousand dreams. The man or woman who does not has but one. Yes. And it's so true. And so I started saying, oh my God, this, I love impact. I love, how can I change lives? How can I support and uplift? And helping people see this future and see what is possible for them for me is my goal.

And in this book- Did you ever fear death though? Like around- I lost my fear of death doing DMT, dimethyltryptophan, right? Which is the active ingredients in ayahuasca. And I don't want to go down that journey too much. How old were you? This was seven, eight years ago.

But it was a... It's a dissolution of the ego and a connection with a universe of love and God at its most epic proportion. And it was extremely powerful for me. And I lost that fear of death. One of my motivations in longevity is my why. And so coming back to this, it's like, To get people to put in the work to live a longer, healthier life, you've got to have a reason for it.

And when I work with my Abundance360 community, my fountain community, I'm like, okay, let's discuss this. If you had 10 healthy years, what would you do with it? If you had 20 healthy additional years, what would you do with it? When I ask people if you had 50 additional years, their mind breaks. It's like you can make up stuff for 10 or 20 years, but 50 years?

like it becomes really hard for people to think that far out. And I find that fascinating. But if you've got a why, and one of my whys was, you know, I've been a space cadet since I was born in 61, Apollo lands on the moon in 69, Star Trek comes out in 67, all those things influenced my life. And it's like, We're on the verge of humanity becoming a multi-planetary species.

We're just talking about the SpaceX launch, going to the moon on a recurring basis. We're going to go to Mars. It's amazing. It's like the kid in the candy store here is like, I wanna see as much of that as I can. It's one of my whys is to be here alive, to see humanity become a multi-planetary species, to be part of that. I want to set up the first town on the moon. I want to mine asteroids.

I mean, crazy, right? But at the end of the day, this is the future we have potential for, and you can dream big if you've got those extra decades.

I don't know, I think I would sort of be tracking into my 80s. Really? Yeah.
