The new Netfliex series Live to 100 – Secrets of the Blue Zones has given us some spine-tingling warm and fuzzies.

If you haven’t watched it we recommend it highly!

Today we discuss Episode 1, Okinawa. And more specifically – the role of purpose (Ikigai), purpose sweet potato, gardening and the power of a social peer group.

If you love this type of conversation, we are coming together in Melbourne for 1 night only – Wednesday September 20. All the details are here.

And then in 2024, we go to the Blue Zones ourseleves – returning to Ikaria for the 5th time and Sardinia for the 2nd. All the details at www.100notout.com

100 Not Out has been going strong for more than 10 years and it’s a little embarrassing to say that we have done more events overseas together than in Australia! That’s just not on!

So on Wednesday, September 20, we are coming together in Melbourne for a 100 Not Out Lifestyle evening.

We’d love to have you join us as we discuss –

The What Ifs of Lifestyle, Longevity & Nutrition, including –

Why our attitude to ageing is cutting more than a decade off our life.

Why it’s important to be wary of the next trendy fad diet or exercise.

The longevity crisis engulfing Australia that no one seems to be talking about.

What to really focus on over the next 10-20 years in order to age gracefully.

What to be wary of and not get sucked into as wellness brands and fad diets begin to go under.

And so much more. To join us, simply click here and grab yourself a ticket!

At 81 years of age, Peter Smith is Australia’s oldest Aerospace Strategist … but that is not the main reason why we are chatting to Peter today.

You’re about to listen to a human being that has more pep and vigour for life than most people half or even a quarter of his age do.

His secrets – or his superpowers – you could say, are his commitment to movement, to work that he loves to do, his pleasing personality, and insatiable curiosity – not to mention also his love of wine.

Peter has known pain and grief – he is a widower after the death of his wife Marilyn in 2021 – and he has also known physical pain – having completed an insane 600 + triathlons!

We chat to Peter about work, exercise, food, wine and love – and if you’re anything like us Peter Smith will make you smile, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear.

You’ll find Peter in Adelaide at the Australian Masters Games competing in the triathlon. All the details on joining Peter or enrolling in another sport can be found at https://australianmastersgames.com/

In our first recording back on Australian soil, we discuss the importance of making decisions that define who we truly are, rather than who people want us to be.

We might wear many hats – child, sibling, spouse, golfer, netballer, accountant, friend, etc – but living congruently with who we are, and who we expect other people to be, is perhaps one of the most important elements of ageing gracefully.
