Peter Diamandis is a visionary entrepreneur, futurist, and longevity advocate helping humanity extend its healthspan and thrive in an era of exponential change. He is the founder of the XPRIZE Foundation, Singularity University, and Abundance360.

In this episode, we dive into what Peter calls the "longevity mindset"—a way of thinking that replaces fear with purpose, and scarcity with abundance. He explains why we may reach longevity escape velocity by 2030, how AI is revolutionizing diagnostics, and what it will take to close the gap between lifespan and healthspan for everyone.

With the upcoming semifinalists being announced, we also explore Peter’s most ambitious initiative yet: The $101 million Healthspan XPRIZE, a global competition launched by the XPRIZE Foundation aiming to reverse biological aging and extend healthy years of life by at least 20 years, with 603 teams already racing toward this moonshot.

Expect to learn:

• What it really means to reach longevity escape velocity—and why it could happen this decade

• The mindset shifts that add not just years to your life, but vitality to your years

• How Peter is mobilizing 603 global teams to reverse aging through the Healthspan XPRIZE

• The reason most of us self-limit our lifespans—and how to break free

• Why optimism and purpose are two of the strongest predictors of longevity

• How AI is accelerating biological breakthroughs faster than ever imagined

• Why Peter believes aging is the biggest disease of all—and one we can overcome

Meredith Perry is the founder of Elemind Technologies, a neurotech company building wearable devices that transform sleep and brain health through real-time brainwave stimulation. A former NASA researcher and MIT graduate, Meredith is pioneering the future of "electronic medicines"—non-invasive treatments that could replace drugs with precise brain modulation.

In this conversation, we explore how Elemind’s wearable technology helps users fall asleep faster by disrupting wakefulness brainwaves, why sleep is the ultimate force multiplier for health, and how personalized brainwave tracking could shape the future of medicine, mental health, and longevity.

We also dive into the science behind alpha, theta, and delta brainwaves, the evolution of sleep technology, and Meredith’s bold predictions for where neurotech is heading.

Expect to learn:

• Why the future of medicine might be non-invasive neurostimulation.

• How Elemind's headband uses EEG sensors and AI to personalize brain stimulation.

• Why sleep is crucial for memory, immune health, and mental resilience.

• How brainwave modulation could treat sleep, tremor, pain, and depression.

• How personalized brain data will reshape healthcare.

• Meredith's vision for the next wave of neurotechnology by 2030.

Max Marchione is the founder of Superpower, a health optimization startup that recently raised its Series A to help people live longer, healthier, and more energized lives. He’s one of the most forward-thinking voices in biotech and wellness, blending science, supplements, and systems thinking to reimagine how we approach health and happiness.

This episode is part of Beyond Highlights—a new series of 10-minute excerpts from full episodes that offer powerful insights you can apply today, and take with you beyond tomorrow.

In this highlight, we explore GLP-1s and their potential to reverse obesity, why foundational health matters more than hacks, and how surrender, sunlight, and authenticity may be the most potent medicine of all.

Expect to learn:

Why GLP-1s mark a turning point in public health—and what comes next.
How happiness is downstream of gut, metabolic, and hormonal health.
Why Max believes multivitamins and mineral balance are undervalued keys to performance.
How The Untethered Soul reshaped the way Max lives, builds, and leads.
What makes authenticity the ultimate fuel for vitality—and why a life of ease might not be the answer.
And how the future of health is both radically innovative and deeply human.
