Show Notes
The longevity revolution isn’t coming. We’re already living it, and we’re not ready.
In this episode, David Sinclair of the International Longevity Centre joins Chip Conley to explore what longer lives mean for all of us and why society needs to catch up with a future that’s already here.
In this conversation: Why the real longevity challenge isn’t living to 100, but adapting to longer lives today Why prevention needs to play a much bigger role in how we approach health and aging How longer lives are changing the way we think about work, money, retirement, and our communities Why purpose, connection, and staying engaged matter as much as staying healthy How the wisdom we accumulate over a lifetime can be shared with the next generation
Watch the full episode for a fresh perspective on longevity and what it will take to make our longer lives healthier, more purposeful, and more connected.
