In this bite-sized episode, I’m thrilled to feature Dan Buettner, the visionary behind the discovery of the Blue Zones—five unique regions where people consistently enjoy longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Dan shares a surprising perspective: the people in Blue Zones aren’t actively trying to live a long life. Instead, their longevity is a natural byproduct of their lifestyle, community, and environment.

Dan’s engaging, down-to-earth approach makes these lessons easy to understand—and even easier to apply. This episode is just a taste of what’s to come, as Dan will join us for a full-length conversation in a few weeks.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this fascinating glimpse into the world of the Blue Zones!
