So I'm just going to say a quick, like two sentences about JJ Virgin because JJ Virgin has, you've had like how many New York Times bestselling books in the fitness and health space? Four.

Well, thank you very much. I took a personality test, and I am a simplifier. Really? Oh, which one? Which one did you take? I forget which one this one was. Like, usually all the ones all say the same thing, but this was a totally different test, and it gave four different ways people behave in business, and I'm a simplifier. And I go, that's absolutely true.

There's all these like longevity hacks and health hacks and fitness trends. What would you say over the years, right? Would you say... have been kind of, you think, that stands the test of time, that are the things that actually move the needle, that people don't want to know that they should do and without the fluff.
I'll tell you what, I love the fact that Brian Johnson's spending $2 million a year to find out that diet, exercise, sleep, and good relationships are what make you healthy and extend your lifespan.
