“Let's think about the future. Let's think about people who aren't here yet. Just because they're not here yet doesn't mean they just shouldn't have a voice or they shouldn't be factored in.”

“But if you look at the diseases and what people are suffering with today, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, the health system hasn't been designed to deal with them,” Dr. Nas Al Jafari, Medical Director of DNA Health Clinic and Functional Medicine Specialist, told me on this episode of HYPERSCALE.

Dr. Nas is a vocal advocate helping bring about a new revolution within the healthcare space, breaking away from outdated traditional practices and pushing for a more holistic approach to health, which puts the spotlight on preventative medicine and care, expanded testing procedures and measures, and the true pillars of longevity.

Join us as we explore the many flaws in today’s sickcare system, how current healthcare is still not equipped to provide preventative medicine, and the role individuals will have to play to bring about change to this broken system to safeguard a better future and allow us to live longer.

“So that's a sick care model… built around treating you when you're sick. And all the institutions and interests around that are propped up actually by chronic diseases. That's the problem. It's the whole incentive structures that are misaligned. And they're perversely against you,”

said Tina Woods, the Founder and CEO of Collider Health, and the Co-Founder and CEO of Longevity International. 

She is a renowned advocate for improving health parity and longevity who brings diverse stakeholders together in shared endeavors to improve and level up health, working at the cross-section of science, technology, investment, and policy/government.

Join us as we explore the many facets of today’s health landscape, from the aforementioned sick care system, to the world’s many blue zones, the youth mental health crisis that has implications on our future, the impact of economic parity on health equity, and more.

“We're not going to get a Skynet. I think the James Cameron-sort of future of one all-seeing, all-knowing and essentially the existential threat that the government seems to want to paint a picture of, it's not going to happen.”

On this special EMERGENCY episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Professor Beth Singler and Futurist and Author Theo Priestley, who have joined me to discuss the government-commissioned report recently published in Time magazine, warning that AI poses an extinction-level threat to humanity.

The three authors of the report worked on it for more than a year, speaking with more than 200 government employees, experts, and workers at frontier AI companies—like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic and Meta— as part of their research. 

Are these fears justified? We need to educate people about the true potential, and threat, of AI, which can be hard to do given how most of humanity is busy surviving one day at a time, often giving up their privacy and autonomy for the sake of convenience.

Join us for an introspective conversation where we explore the timeliness of this report, what it means, why it shouldn’t necessarily be taken at face value, the actual risks posed by AI, the importance of holding AI developers accountable, and more on this episode of HYPERSCALE.

“First we make technology, then technology makes us.”

On this special International Women’s Day episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Biljana Markova, an eco-luxury entrepreneur, animal and social activist, and one of my dearest friends. 

Above, she paraphrased the famous saying: “First we shape our tools, thereafter our tools shape us,” noting the importance of being proactive and considerate of how we design technology today, as the mindset (with all its biases and limitations) that creates tomorrow’s solutions will be the same one that dictates how our technology will influence us. If one gender or one race designs the AI that will govern our future, how will this reflect on all the different people who do not share this person’s gender and race? It is questions like these that remind us of the importance of diversity at the tech roundtables and the highest boardrooms.

“I think we are at a point where if we don't wake up now, if we don't develop our human [conscience] quickly, if we don't become wiser, then we will use our technology to destroy ourselves versus using our technology to live in a utopia, to reach that higher state of awareness and consciousness and enlightenment that we are on a path to reach.”

Join us for an introspective and philosophical conversation where we explore women’s role in an ever-evolving world of technological innovation, the importance of diverse voices convening today to shape a more inclusive tomorrow, and why we urgently need to equalize the playing field in terms of equality and inclusivity, as what we do now will define our reality in the years to come.

“Over the years. I've really had to evolve my sense of self as an entrepreneur. Quite quickly it went from being me, myself, and I on the dining room table with the business to managing a large international team. I've had to go from saying yes to everything to no to most things. And that's perfectly okay, and you should do that. Our time is literally the greatest asset that we have.”

I invited you all to share your questions with me on social media, and all topics were fair game. 😉 So, in this episode, you will see me discuss everything from how I keep fit when I’m traveling and living between New York and Dubai, my favorite easy recipes for longevity, why I want to go to Mars, Ozempic, why I closed my suit label, metaverse fashion, CEO executive branding, starting a biz on the dining room table to managing an international team, ‘freezing’ my body with cryonics to ‘live forever’, and my existential questions about an afterlife... I have bared it all.

Tune in for a candid view into how I got to where I am today, and why I am on this journey of discovery and learning.
