It is a large pot of money that we say, I don't care who you are, where you went to school, what you've ever done, if you can build and demonstrate this technology, you win the money and the world gets the benefits, right? So our first XPRIZE was for private space flight, carry a person up to space, actually three people up land and within two weeks make the trip again.

This is way before SpaceX and Blue Origin and all of those companies. And that was successful, but we've launched X prizes on mapping the ocean floor, cleaning up oil spills on the ocean, pulling drinkable water out of the atmosphere. And, you know, I got Elon to fund a $100 million carbon extraction prize, pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and the oceans.

A year ago, we launched one of our largest prizes ever. It was a $101 million prize for extending the healthy human lifespan. It's 101 million because Chip Wilson, the founder of Lululemon, who's one of our large sponsors, said, so how big is Elon's prize again, 100 million? One more million, yeah, yeah. I said, fine, if you fund it, we'll make it 100 million.

So we challenged teams to add 20 healthy years, right? Wow. Actually to reverse your functional age. So we asked teams with a therapy lasting less than a year, I want you to demonstrate the ability to make my cognition 20 years younger, the clarity of my thought, my span of memory, my muscle abilities, grow muscle 20 years younger, and my immune system 20 years younger.

So we have 460 teams whole in that team, the competition right now. This prize will be won by 2030. And again, I talked about a little bit in the book, but this is about... I want people to realize this stuff is coming. It's a rocket ship. There's no bigger business on the planet and no greater motivation for people. So I want folks to know this is coming. Be excited about it. Be hopeful.

Share it with your parents, your grandparents.

Yes.

Yes.

You know, the thing I'm the most proud of is hopefully, and I believe my kids, right? I mean, that's always something. It's amazing when I go to sleep at night and I think about what are the three moments that I'm most grateful for from the day, it always comes back to them, right? It's like all the deals, nice, but it's all about my kids saying, I love you, right? It's amazing in that regard.

I think this XPRIZE is a big deal. This XPRIZE is giving scientists, entrepreneurs permission to dream bigger than ever before. It's funded out of Saudi Arabia, out of Hevolution and Chip Wilson. I'm a multimillion dollar donor to the prize as well, as are a number of amazing members of my abundance community. I think the biggest thing ultimately goes back to where you began.

I think it's helping people change their mindset because that's the first step. It really truly is. Everything follows from a belief that you can and a belief that you should and belief that you deserve it. Because the tools are going to be there. And it's not that hard. I mean, I lay them out in the book. You don't have to do everything.
