The Bryan Johnson Podcast is ushering in a new era of being human.Â
In this podcast I am joined by longevity physician Dr. Mike Mallin, my co-founder Kate Tolo, and the occasional guest. We discuss the science-based protocol to help you become your best self.
After living in Ecuador for two years among extreme poverty at the age of 21, I returned to the US and devoted my life to making the largest and most meaningful impact on humanity. After selling my company Braintree Venmo for $800 million, I traveled back in time to my 21 year old dreams of doing something impactful for the human race. I wondered if we may be the first generation to not die. I put together a team of 30 medical professionals and built the worldâs best health protocol, Blueprint. On this protocol, I became the most biologically measured person in history and achieved the best biomarkers in the world, quantitatively becoming the healthiest person on the planet.Â
Now is the first time in 2,000 years that a new, globally adopted ideology must emerge. AI is progressing faster than any of us can comprehend, causing us to reexamine everything we think about ourselves, each other, and society. This is now humanityâs to-do list:Â
Donât die individually.Â
Donât kill each other.Â
Donât destroy the planet.Â
Align AI with Donât Die.
