In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Dan Pardi from Qualia for a deep, eye-opening conversation on longevity, healthspan, and what it truly means to stay youthful from the inside out. Dan has built an incredible reputation as a health communicator who can take complex scientific ideas and make them accessible and actionable for everyday people. And that is exactly what we dig into in this episode.

We explore the difference between lifespan and healthspan and why maintaining our vitality, mobility, and mental sharpness matters more than simply adding years to the clock. Dan breaks down the reality of aging in today's world, the gaps in our current healthcare systems, and how modern stress, nutrition challenges, and lifestyle habits impact the way we age.

From there, we dive into the rapidly growing field of longevity science. Dan walks us through the rise of research around senescent cells, often referred to as zombie cells, that contribute to inflammation, disease, and aging. We explore how removing these dysfunctional cells may be one of the most powerful ways to support long-term health and how Qualia's Senolytics are designed to assist that process.

We also discuss the evolving landscape of stem cell therapy and how science is now supporting supplements and protocols that safely encourage the body's own regenerative processes. Dan shares how Qualia formulates their products, the level of research behind each ingredient, and the results they are seeing through human trials.

This conversation is packed with practical, science-backed strategies you can start applying today to support your energy, cognition, and longevity. We also go deeper into Dan's personal journey, how he approaches productivity, and the daily practices that help him show up at his best.

If you are looking to stay healthy, strong, and mentally sharp well into your later years, this episode will give you the tools and understanding to take your health seriously and make intentional decisions that support your future self.

In this live episode recorded in New Orleans during the Skeleton KeyMastermind, I sit down with Roberto Candelaria for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about one of the most underrated keys to success: willingness.

Roberto's story is one of true transformation. After hitting rock bottom, he rebuilt his income, redefined his purpose, and created a business where he gets paid to be fully himself. His new book, "The Willingness Factor," breaks down how saying yes to discomfort, opportunity, and growth can completely change the trajectory of your life.

In our conversation, we explore what it really means to be willing.....not just interested or motivated, but ready to take action even when fear or uncertainty shows up. Roberto shares how shifting his mindset around failure and discomfort allowed him to unlock new levels of confidence, clarity, and flow.

We also dive into the science and psychology of flow state, that sweet spot where your skills and challenges align perfectly, allowing you to perform at your highest level. From dealing with imposter syndrome to finding peace in the process, Roberto's insights will challenge you to step fully into your own growth journey.

This episode is filled with practical wisdom and real-life examples that will inspire you to take ownership of your path, trust your instincts, and find power in your willingness to show up. Plus, we preview Roberto's upcoming keynote at the Growth Now Summit Live, where he'll be sharing even more lessons from his journey.
