Longevity breakthroughs always come with both promise and skepticism. This conversation brings the science, the story, and the open questions to light, so you can better understand where C60 fits in the longevity landscape.

In this solo episode, Garrett dives into the powerful lessons that come from contemplating our own mortality. While it's often uncomfortable to think about, facing the reality that our time is limited can be one of the most practical ways to gain clarity about what truly matters – both in life and in business. The conversation includes:

• Reflecting on our own death as a powerful teacher
• The importance of having a true core purpose independent of external circumstances
• Why directing our energy wisely is the most important decision we make each day
• How "compressing time" exercises can cut through clutter and reveal real priorities

This is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reorient. By compressing time and confronting our own finiteness, we discover focus, alignment, and a clearer path toward leading our best lives.

What if your brain held the keys to living longer and healthier? In this solo episode, I dive into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and longevity, unpacking how the nervous system shapes resilience, recovery, and the aging process. Drawing on both science and personal experience, I'll explore how practices like meditation, nervous system training, and targeted stimulation can help us unlock more years and better years.

We'll cover:

• Why the autonomic nervous system is the hidden regulator of health and longevity
• How neuroplasticity impacts the body and mind
• The ways foot stimulation impacts the brain to reduce fall risk and extend independence
• What psychoneuroimmunology teaches us about stress, inflammation, and the immune system's role in aging, or "inflammaging"
• Insights from meditation, HRV tracking, and direct experience of rewiring the nervous system for resilience

This is more than a discussion about just living longer, it's about living better too. Join me as we uncover how neuroscience provides both the framework and the tools to train your brain and body for vibrant health and longevity.

In this episode, we explore how neuroscience reveals what truly makes leaders effective – from how they regulate themselves, lead by example, and the various ways they can influence others and shape a team's culture. You'll learn how emotional safety, trust, and meaning aren't just soft skills but are actually brain-based performance drivers.

• Discover how a leader's role modeling combined with mirror neurons influence your team's mood, energy, and behavior
• Understand why brains in "threat mode" shut down trust, learning, and creativity and why psychological safety is the #1 predictor of high-performing teams
• Learn how to move from individual contributor to team multiplier
• Hear why storytelling activates more of the brain than data – and how to use that as a leader
• Explore how trust, purpose, and vulnerability unlock team engagement

Leadership isn't about control, it's about connection of people with each other and with a sense of shared purpose. And when you lead with safety, clarity, and purpose, you do far more than just manage a team – you multiply its impact.
