What happens when AI agents stop waiting for instructions and start acting on their own?Julian sits down with Ramesh Raskar and Maria Gorskikh for an urgent conversation about the rise of proactive AI and the emerging “agentic web”. This isn’t about chatbots answering questions anymore, it’s about autonomous agents that can send emails, execute tasks, coordinate schedules, and interact with other agents without constant prompting. As open-source tools like OpenClaw make it easier for developers to spin up agents, we may be witnessing a shift from centralized AI models to a world where anyone can run their own personal AI. But with that power comes serious risk, from malicious “skills” and prompt injections to identity spoofing, financial manipulation, and large-scale bot collusion. Without the right infrastructure, guardrails, and accountability, this new frontier could quickly become chaotic.And yet, the upside is enormous. They explore a future where billions of people, from farmers to students to entrepreneurs, have access to affordable, personalized AI agents working on their behalf. A new creator economy could emerge, where agents handle coordination and repetitive work, freeing humans to focus on creativity and problem-solving. The big question isn’t whether this future is coming, it already is. The real question is whether we build it as an open, secure, decentralized ecosystem or allow it to concentrate in the hands of a few.Ramesh Raskar is a renowned AI researcher, inventor, and professor at MIT, where he leads pioneering work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, decentralization, and global impact. He is the founder of Project Nanda, focused on building the foundational infrastructure for an open and secure agentic web.Maria Gorskikh is an AI engineer and entrepreneur working at the forefront of autonomous agents and open AI ecosystems. She is building tools that make AI agents accessible to everyone, helping drive the shift toward a decentralized, agent-powered internet.What You’ll LearnWhat Proactive AI really isWhy decentralizing AI is a turning pointThe biggest security risks right nowWhy infrastructure and guardrails matterHow AI agents could power a new creator economyWhy the next six months are criticalWhether we should be excited or cautious⏱ Timestamps00:00 The Agentic AI Moment Begins01:40 Why OpenClaw Is a Turning Point03:00 The App Store Era of AI Agents07:18 The Two Levels of AI Risk08:40 What a Personal AI Agent Really Means15:42 From Mainframes to Decentralized AI18:20 Defining Proactive AI18:38 Inside the Moltbook Phenomenon22:04 AI Agents and High-Speed Trading Risks24:06 Can Agentic AI Be Contained?25:53 Who’s Liable When AI Goes Wrong?28:27 Building the Infrastructure: Project NANDA32:43 Centralization vs. Open Ecosystems37:58 The Innovation Explosion Happening Now41:31 Create Your Own AI Agent in Minutes43:19 The Rise of Personal AI Agents44:53 What Everyone Will Be Talking About Next46:04 AI, Hardware, and the Future of Robots47:27 The New Creator Economy48:10 Why Guardrails Matter More Than Ever50:25 Why We Should Stay Curious, Not Fearful51:17 Should We Be Excited or Afraid?53:18 The 1-in-10 Future: Choosing the Right PathConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow Ramesh:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raskar MIT Media Lab: https://www.media.mit.edu/people/raskar/overview/ Follow Maria:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariagorskikh X: https://x.com/mariagorskikh/ Check out:https://join39.org/ https://projectnanda.org/
What if living longer isn’t about chasing immortality but about quietly staying one step ahead of aging?Julian sits down with George Church for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about longevity, aging, and medical progress. Rather than promising overnight breakthroughs, they explore why extending human life is a complex, multi-layered challenge and why meaningful progress may already be happening so gradually that it’s easy to miss. From the concept of “longevity escape velocity” to the difficulty of measuring aging itself, the discussion reframes what it truly means to live longer and healthier. Together, Julian and George unpack how advances in gene therapy, multiplex genome editing, and AI-driven protein design are reshaping medicine. The focus moves away from sci-fi fantasies toward real-world applications: reversing age-related diseases, improving targeted drug delivery, shortening clinical trials, and reducing risk. They also explore the ethical, societal, and economic implications of longer lives and why revolutions in science often feel invisible right up until they become impossible to ignore. George Church is a pioneering geneticist and one of the founding figures of synthetic biology. A professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT, he is known for his groundbreaking work in genome sequencing, gene therapy, CRISPR technologies, and aging research. Over decades, his work has helped shape modern biotechnology, with a focus on reversing age-related diseases, improving human health, and responsibly advancing powerful scientific tools.What You’ll Learn:Why longevity is one of the hardest medical outcomes to measureWhat “longevity escape velocity” actually means—and why it may already be underwayHow gene therapy and multiplex genome editing could reverse age-related diseasesWhy AI’s most meaningful breakthroughs may be happening in biology, not chatbotsThe overlooked importance of drug delivery in safe, effective treatmentsWhy scientific progress often feels slow before it suddenly acceleratesHow extending healthspan could reshape society, economics, and human potential⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:21 Can Aging Really Be Reversed?02:21 Why Gene Therapy Is Central to Longevity06:28 The Real Limits of Gene Therapy12:09 Why Clinical Trials Are Moving Faster Than Ever13:56 What Longevity “Escape Velocity” Actually Means14:55 How Gene Editing Could Shape the Future of Health17:47 How Scientific AI Is Transforming Biotech19:44 What Longer Lives Mean for Insurance and Society22:15 Why Exponential Progress Feels Invisible Until It Doesn’t24:07 How COVID RNA Vaccines Changed Medicine29:09 Using AI to Target Treatments More Precisely33:04 Why AGI May Be the Wrong Focus for Humanity36:28 Do We Need Guardrails for Powerful Technologies?38:35 Why Education and Wisdom Matter More Than Intelligence40:33 Are We Near a Medical Tipping Point?42:15 Are You Ready to Die or Live Much Longer?44:47 Why Aging, Health, and Purpose Are Deeply Connected46:30 How Organ Failure and Dialysis Are Being Rethought49:12 The Future of Organ Replacement and Regeneration52:06 Why Survival and Hope Still MatterConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow George:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-church-2b86301
Are billionaires building the future or breaking it?Julian steps out of the studio and into the real world, putting a single uncomfortable question in front of everyday people: should billionaires exist at all? From candid street interviews to the polished halls of the World Economic Forum in Davos, and finally to the stark realities of Cape Town, South Africa, the responses reveal a world deeply divided on wealth, power, and fairness.As opinions collide, innovation versus inequality, ambition versus responsibility, this episode doesn’t offer easy answers. Instead, it challenges us to rethink how wealth should work in a rapidly changing, AI-driven world and who the system is really designed to serve. ⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:38 Should Billionaires Get Abolished?02:34 How Do We Close the Wealth Gap?05:35 Billionaires are Also Hardworking PeopleConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.
What if the future of healthcare is already here, just unevenly distributed?Physician-scientist and innovator Daniel Kraft joins Julian to unpack what’s actually happening right now in health, medicine, and longevity and what’s coming faster than most people realize. From AI-powered wearables and digital twins to personalized cancer vaccines and the rise of “health agents,” Daniel explains why he calls himself a now-ist, not a futurist: the tools to radically improve health already exist, but mindset, incentives, and systems are lagging behind.They explore the shift from reactive sick care to proactive, personalized health, the promises and dangers of biohacking culture, and why evidence-based medicine still matters in a world flooded with hype. The conversation also tackles big questions around health equity, misinformation, vaccines, and how emerging technologies like AI, genomics, and augmented reality could transform care, if we learn how to integrate them responsibly and humanely. What You’ll Learn:Why the future of medicine is about proactive, continuous care, not yearly checkupsHow wearables, genomics, and digital twins could enable truly personalized healthThe difference between evidence-based innovation and overhyped biohackingWhat AI can (and shouldn’t) replace in healthcare and the doctor-patient relationshipHow cancer screening, immunotherapy, and personalized vaccines are evolvingWhy incentives, not technology, are often the biggest barrier to better healthcareHow to think critically about longevity trends, supplements, and emerging therapies⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:26 The Art of the Possible in Health01:22 Why Daniel Calls Himself a “Now-ist”03:09 Curiosity, Gadgets, and Connecting the Dots04:18 What Are Omics and Why They Matter07:18 Wearables and the Shift to Proactive Health09:17 Why Doctors Don’t Prescribe Wearables (Yet)11:35 We Don’t Practice Healthcare, We Practice Sick Care13:39 The Danger of Over-Quantifying Your Health16:23 What the Future of Healthcare Actually Looks Like19:50 Why Human Connection Still Matters in Medicine22:18 How AI Will Change the Role of Doctors24:52 Hospital-to-Home and Care Anywhere29:41 Incentives: Following the Money in Healthcare31:45 Why Healthcare Is Ripe for Disruption33:40 The Rise of Health Agents and Personal AI34:30 What Is a Digital Twin?36:37 What a Cancer-Free World Could Look Like38:29 Cancer Vaccines, Genetics, and Early Detection40:20 Can We Really Cure Cancer?42:34 COVID Vaccines, Misinformation, and Science46:16 The Problem With Health Disinformation47:54 Why Correlation Is Not Causation50:27 Separating Science From Snake Oil52:50 How to Evaluate Health Claims Critically54:36 What Evidence-Based Medicine Really Means55:59 Simple Habits That Actually Improve Healthspan57:12 Longevity Hype vs. What’s Proven58:46 Gene Therapy and CRISPR’s Real Potential01:03:01 Stem Cell Therapy: What to Know Before You Try It01:08:59 AI, Protein Folding, and Drug Discovery01:10:15 AR, VR, and the Metaverse in Healthcare01:12:52 What Daniel’s Next TED Talk Will Be About01:14:41 Who Daniel Thinks About When He Does His Work01:16:38 Longevity Escape Velocity: Will We Reach It?01:19:03 What AGI Means for the Future of Health01:20:46 Daniel’s Final Advice for Living Healthier Connect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow Daniel:Website: http://DanielKraftMD.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dkraft X: https://x.com/daniel_kraft Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielkraftmd NextMed Health: https://www.nextmed.health/ http://Digital.Health http://ContinuumHealth.vc
Should the U.S. just take Greenland because it can?As the Arctic melts and critical minerals become the new oil, Greenland has gone from forgotten ice sheet to geopolitical prize. In this Davos street debate, world leaders, policy insiders, and global citizens clash over an unthinkable question: should Greenland become a U.S. state or would that cross the line into modern-day imperialism? Some argue it’s a strategic necessity in a world racing toward conflict with China and Russia. Others warn it would shatter NATO, alienate Europe, and revive the ugliest chapters of colonial history.What starts as a conversation about minerals and defense quickly spirals into something darker: who really gets to decide the fate of a nation? Is this about security or power? Cooperation or coercion? And if borders can change when resources are at stake, is any country truly safe?This street interview took place in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, where global leaders, policymakers, executives, and media gather to discuss geopolitics, economics, and global risk. Featuring voices including Kerry Kennedy, @billboardchris, an Arctic defense and security expert, and many more.⏱ Timestamps00:00 Should Greenland Become a US State?03:26 Will the U.S. Invade Greenland?05:03 Europeans Speak About the Possible Invasion07:47 The Geographical Factor10:52 The Arctic is Heating UpConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.
What happens when artificial intelligence stops being something we use and starts becoming something that shapes who we are?Julian sits down with Ramesh Raskar for a hopeful, wide-ranging conversation about where AI is actually headed and where it should go. Instead of leaning into the usual doomsday fears, they talk about a different risk, a future where intelligence is centralized, creativity is squeezed out, and people slowly lose their sense of purpose.They discuss what an “agentic” future could look like, one where everyone has their own AI agent working on their behalf, not owned by a company but shaped by personal values, goals, and lived experience. They talk about how this could transform healthcare, education, and work, not by replacing humans, but by amplifying what makes human contribution meaningful. There’s a strong emphasis on dignity, pride in craft, and why losing those things could be more damaging than job loss itself.Ramesh Raskar is an MIT professor, researcher, and inventor whose work spans artificial intelligence, imaging, robotics, and decentralized systems. He has led research teams at Google, Facebook, and Apple, and focuses on building human-centered AI technologies designed to support shared prosperity.What You’ll Learn:Why centralized AI risks reducing human agency and purposeHow decentralized AI agents could reshape work, education, and healthcareThe difference between efficiency-driven AI and human-centered intelligenceWhy loss of meaning may be a bigger threat than job displacementHow shared prosperity depends on ownership, not just accessWhat an “agentic society” could look like in practiceWhy AI literacy is essential for the decade aheadHow adaptability and learning-to-learn shape human flourishing⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:51 How Can AI Benefit Society?02:40 The Real Risk of AI Isn’t Doomsday05:45 From Using AI to Owning AI10:16 Why Centralized AI Fails12:25 The Rise of Personal AI15:10 When Work Loses Meaning17:38 Why Purpose Still Matters20:13 A World Where Everyone Has an AI Agent25:42 Inside an Agentic Society33:11 How Power and Bias Scale36:41 Why Decentralization Works39:07 Lessons From the Internet44:07 What the World Could Look Like in 203047:20 How AI Could Change Healthcare48:45 Collective Intelligence at Scale53:55 Who Wins When Data Is Decentralized56:45 How AI Doomsday Actually Happens01:01:44 Why Phase One Was Necessary01:04:20 Why AI Literacy Matters01:07:20 Learning How to Learn01:08:22 What Kids Should Learn Today01:10:05 A Simple Rule for the FutureWant to Follow Ramesh's Mission?Join here: https://nanda.mit.edu, projectnanda.org, join39.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raskar MIT Media Lab: https://www.media.mit.edu/people/raskar/overview/Connect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.
What happens when economic decline, cultural identity, and technological acceleration all collide at once?Julian sits down with Razib Khan to explore the forces reshaping the US, Europe, and the wider West. They unpack why tariffs, zero-sum thinking, and reactionary politics may be symptoms of deeper structural decline, while also examining why optimism, migration patterns, and cultural norms have historically fueled American dynamism. From Brexit and European stagnation to the rise of populism and questions around national identity, the discussion challenges easy narratives from all sides.The conversation goes further, tackling some of today’s most sensitive and consequential questions: immigration and integration, multiculturalism, religion in pluralistic societies, and whether shared values still exist in the modern West. They also explore the role of personality, genetics, and culture in shaping ambition and innovation, before turning to the future—AI, automation, democracy, and what human flourishing could realistically look like in a rapidly changing world. Thought-provoking, nuanced, and deliberately uncomfortable at times, this episode invites listeners to think beyond headlines and engage with the deeper patterns shaping our collective future.What You'll Learn:How economic, cultural, and demographic forces are shaping the decline of EuropeWhy American optimism and mobility continue to drive innovation and growthHow identity, culture, and national values influence political movementsThe real impact of immigration on economies, integration, and social cohesionWhy personality, genetics, and openness play a role in ambition and successHow multiculturalism works and where it breaks down in practiceWhat human flourishing looks like in an unequal and rapidly changing worldWhether democracy can survive technological disruption and AI⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro03:38 Is the Fifth European Empire Collapsing?05:40 What “Make America Great Again” Really Looks Back To06:56 Does the US Have an Identity Crisis?08:30 Why Optimism Still Separates America From Europe13:38 Culture, Ambition, and the British Mindset20:23 Do Personality and Genetics Shape Success?23:21 Understanding Europe’s Structural Decline26:49 Why Language and Mobility Matter for Economic Growth30:33 Why the World’s Top Talent Still Chooses America32:20 Immigration, Culture, and the Math Behind Integration34:10 Can Multicultural Societies Truly Coexist?42:25 What the West Gets Wrong About Cultural Identity47:13 The Welfare State and Its Long-Term Consequences49:01 Is Immigration a Net Loss or Net Gain?52:48 Human Flourishing in a Divided World55:48 Religion, Secularism, and Shared Values01:02:32 Separation of Church and State Explained01:06:31 Gender Equality as a Non-Negotiable Value01:08:26 The World We’re Headed Toward by 203001:10:31 Brexit: A Necessary Risk or Historic Mistake?01:11:40 What Does Human Flourishing Actually Mean?01:14:06 Do We Need Struggle to Thrive?01:15:41 Competition, Conflict, and Progress01:19:58 When Victimhood Replaces Responsibility01:23:41 Bias, Fairness, and Modern Power Structures01:25:19 Is Democracy Dead in the Age of AI?01:31:58 Technology, Social Media, and Human Nature01:33:39 Final Reflections on the Future of the WestConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow Razib:Website: https://www.razibkhan.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@razibkhansunsupervisedlearning X: https://x.com/razibkhan Substack: https://substack.com/@razib Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/razib-khans-unsupervised-learning/id1542136715
What if aging is not an inevitable decline but a solvable systems problem hiding in plain sight?Julian sits down with Carina Kern, a scientist working at the intersection of longevity research and medicine, for a wide ranging conversation on how aging actually works inside the body. Together, they explore why traditional medicine has struggled to address age-related decline and why treating one disease or one organ at a time may be missing the bigger picture. Carina introduces a systems level way of thinking about aging, explaining how cellular damage spreads across the body and why identifying key biological nodes could change how we prevent degeneration altogether. Julian and Carina also dive into Carina’s research on necrosis, a form of uncontrolled cell death that may sit at the core of aging and many chronic diseases. Carina explains how her team is developing a first in class anti necrotic therapy, how artificial intelligence is being used to uncover system wide interventions, and why the kidney has become a powerful model for studying accelerated aging. The conversation expands beyond Earth as well, touching on what space travel reveals about rapid aging and why protecting human biology may be essential for the future of human exploration.

What does it really mean to be human in a world that’s increasingly lived through screens?Julian sits down with neuroscientist and author, Baroness Susan Greenfield for a wide-ranging conversation about the brain, technology, and the future we’re quietly creating. From the way social media shapes attention, identity, and mental health to how our brains adapt to the environments we spend the most time in, Susan breaks down why today’s digital world may be changing us more deeply than we realize.Rather than framing technology as simply good or bad, the conversation explores what we might be losing along the way. They talk about why boredom and daydreaming matter, how screens can crowd out creativity, and why being “busy” or “efficient” doesn’t necessarily make us happier or more fulfilled.Julian and Susan look ahead to AI, consciousness, and what the next decade could bring. Susan shares her perspective on whether machines can ever truly be conscious, how our sense of truth is being challenged, and why the real risk isn’t technology itself, but how we choose to use it.If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!

Are we using artificial intelligence as a tool or allowing it to reshape how we think, work, and relate to ourselves without fully realizing it?AI educator and company founder Joshua Wöhle, alongside AI writer and former big-tech product designer Georgia Lewis Anderson, bring a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on how today’s AI systems are actually being built, adopted, and misunderstood. Drawing from their work training executives, designing human-machine interactions, and guiding organizations through rapid AI adoption, they reveal why most people aren’t falling behind because of technical skill but because of mindset. Through real-world examples, they explain how large language models, agentic systems, and personalization are quietly redefining productivity, decision-making, and creative work.Together, they explore the deeper implications of this shift from widening knowledge gaps and cultural resistance to the ethical risks of manipulation, dependency, and loss of purpose. Their conversation moves beyond hype and fear to ask more human questions: what skills truly matter in an AI-driven world, how intellectual humility becomes a competitive advantage, and why presence, intuition, and connection may be the very qualities that technology cannot replace.If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!

Are you living life or living in a constant state of survival without realizing it?HRV expert and nervous system educator Salim Najjar helps unravel what’s happening beneath the surface. He opens up about how early childhood loss, Lebanese cultural conditioning, and years of nonstop striving wired him to live in a constant state of alertness. Through his story, he explains how the body holds onto unprocessed emotions, how ancestral trauma can shape our sense of safety, and why heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the most revealing signals of our internal world.Salim also breaks down the science behind chronic stress and why it quietly fuels inflammation, burnout, and emotional reactivity. More importantly, he shares practical tools, from somatic awareness practices to reframing and intentionality, that helped him rebuild his own nervous system and step into what he calls “nervous system sovereignty.”If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!

What happens when the future of humanity is no longer something we wait for but something we can choose?When science gives us that kind of power, the real question becomes how wisely we’re prepared to use it. Today, Jonathan joins Julian to break down the fast-evolving world of embryo selection and what it could mean for the future of human evolution. Jonathan explains how IVF has grown from a niche medical procedure into a window into chromosomal health, genetic risk, and now polygenic traits that influence everything from disease risk to intelligence. They also revisit the history of eugenics, unpack the huge difference between past state-controlled abuses and today’s individual, non-coercive choices, and show why modern genomic tools aren’t about “playing God” but about making more informed, thoughtful decisions rooted in science.What traits should families even care about? How do we keep individuality alive when selection becomes easier? And what happens when science, politics, and markets start overlapping in ways society isn’t quite prepared for? Julian and Jonathan dig into the complexity behind intelligence, personality, mental health, and moral behavior, while also touching on industry controversies, regulation challenges, and the importance of transparency in genetic prediction.Jonathan Anomaly is a philosopher and researcher focused on the ethics of genetics, human enhancement, and emerging biotechnologies. He works at the intersection of science and philosophy, helping shape how genomic prediction and reproductive technologies are understood and responsibly used.If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!

What if the real secret to aging well isn’t found in a futuristic lab, but in understanding your body more honestly than you ever have before?From the very first question, this conversation challenges the assumptions most of us carry about health, longevity, and what it means to “measure” how well we’re aging. Instead of getting lost in the noise of biological clocks, trends, and high-priced diagnostics, Julian, Andrea, and Matt bring everything back to practical, evidence-backed fundamentals, the kind of markers any person can track, understand, and actually do something about. It’s a refreshing look at why knowing your sleep patterns, blood pressure, daily habits, and cognitive health may be more powerful than any shiny longevity product marketed today.Andrea Maier is a leading geriatrician focused on improving health span through practical, evidence-based approaches, and Matt Kaeberlein is a renowned longevity researcher exploring the biology of aging and interventions to extend healthy life.Their focus shifts to the future: personalized medicine, repurposed therapies, the role of AI, and the growing public demand for accessible, trustworthy health guidance. The ideas here don’t promise magic fixes or miracle pills; instead, they offer a roadmap for making better decisions, understanding your own data, and appreciating how much your daily environment shapes your long-term well-being. It’s an honest, grounded, and deeply encouraging exploration of how anyone can start improving their health span, no matter where they’re starting from.Big thanks for our sponsors of this episode Immortal Dragons.

What if the future of longevity isn’t just about living longer but finally understanding what your hormones have been trying to tell you?Dr. Amy Killen joins us to unpack the science of longevity through the lens of women’s health and modern medicine. From hormone therapy and metabolic health to GLP-1 medications and cold plunging, Amy explains how small, evidence-based shifts can transform not just how long we live but how well we age.But beyond the science, this episode is also about empowerment. Dr. Killen reminds us that true longevity means living with awareness of our bodies, our stress, and our disconnection from nature and each other. It’s a thought-provoking deep dive into how technology, environment, and mindset all intersect to shape the future of health.Big thanks for our sponsors of this episode Immortal Dragons.

What if your body’s greatest healer was already inside you, waiting to be switched on?Big Announcement: Check out the NEW FREE Beyond Tomorrow Community at skool.com/beyond-tomorrow!In this episode, stem cell scientist, author and STEMREGEN® founder Christian Drapeau shares three decades of research into the idea that adult stem cells are the body’s natural repair system - not science fiction, not just IV clinics for the elite, but a daily physiological reality. We explore how stem cells circulate to repair damaged tissues, why releasing more of your own stem cells could be a powerful lever for regeneration, and where this sits in relation to invasive stem cell therapies, celebrity biohacking, and the explosion of “miracle” products in the market. Christian breaks down the science in accessible language, walks us through his global search for plant compounds that support stem cell function, and explains how fasting, meditation, nitric-oxide-rich foods and microcirculation all intersect with the body’s repair capacity—while staying grounded in caution, evidence, and ethical responsibility.This episode is for anyone curious about stem cells, skeptical of snake oil, and ready to better understand how to work with (not against) their own biology. Nothing in this episode is medical advice; always speak to a qualified clinician before making decisions about treatments or supplements.📌 What You Will LearnHow Adult Stem Cells Act as the Body’s Repair SystemThe Difference Between Invasive Stem Cell Therapies and Daily Stem Cell MobilizationHow Certain Lifestyle Practices May Support Stem Cell Function (Fasting, Meditation, Movement)The Role of Microcirculation, Inflammation, and Nutrition in Tissue RepairHow Christian Discovered Plant-Based Compounds That Influence Stem Cell ReleaseHow to Think Critically About Hype, Marketing, and “Miracle” Regenerative ClaimsWhy Inner Work, Gratitude, and a Sense of Oneness May Matter for HealingWhat a “Heart-Led” Approach to Biohacking and Human Flourishing Looks Like⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro – Rethinking the body as a repair system03:01 Christian’s journey from neuroscience to stem cell science08:45 Discovering that adult stem cells do more than make blood13:10 From blue-green algae to global plant research18:40 How daily stem cell release works in the body23:15 Non-invasive vs invasive stem cells: safety, use cases, and nuance29:05 Foods, fasting, nitric oxide, and microcirculation34:40 Meditation, mindset, and the nervous system’s role in repair41:22 Science meets spirituality: oneness, purpose, and healing48:10 Biohacking, ego, and the problem of snake oil54:30 A practical “perfect week” to support your repair system01:00:10 Why extending healthspan must serve something bigger01:04:30 A call to build a more conscious longevity movement🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more conversations from the edge of what is possible.Episode ResourcesChristian Drapeau – www.stemregen.coSTEMREGEN® – Information on Christian’s stem cell supplement work (not medical advice or endorsement) Book: Cracking the Stem Cell CodeFor more context, resources, and upcoming events on longevity and human flourishing, visit: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com#thebeyondtomorrowpodcast #julianissa #christiandrapeau #stemcells #regeneration #longevity #humanflourishing
What if optimism wasn’t just a mindset but a daily act of strength and self-belief?In this episode, psychiatrist and author Dr. Sue Varma unpacks the science and soul of practical optimism, a philosophy that blends positivity with action, helping us move from wishful thinking to real change. Drawing from her work with 9/11 survivors, her personal story of burnout, and decades in mental health, Dr. Varma reveals how optimism isn’t about ignoring pain, it’s about believing in the possibility of good while doing the work to make it happen.We explore why our brains are wired toward negativity, how to reframe pessimistic thoughts into growth, and what neuroscience says about the left and right sides of our emotional lives. Dr. Varma breaks down her eight pillars of practical optimism, from finding purpose and processing emotions to building self-compassion and practicing healthy habits and offers four daily anchors anyone can start today: movement, mindfulness, mastery, and meaningful connection.Discover how to turn hope into action and make optimism your superpower.📌 What You Will LearnHow to Practice Practical OptimismThe Real Difference Between Optimism and Practical OptimismHow to Reframe Negative ThinkingHow to Process Difficult EmotionsThe Four P’s That Keep You Stuck in PessimismThe Daily Habits That Boost Mental HealthHow to Strengthen Emotional Resilience⏱ Timestamps00:31 Creating a one-stop approach to prevention and treatment01:20 Learning from working with 9/11 survivors04:16 Understanding the difference between optimism and pessimism07:55 Recognizing the downside of too much optimism13:49 How the brain of an optimist works17:14 Knowing when pessimism becomes something more20:28 Discovering mindfulness-based stress reduction26:21 Exploring the eight pillars of practical optimism28:46 Finding joy in what you do32:58 Redefining purpose beyond grand goals37:02 Accepting that comparison is inevitable41:19 Using the four-step plan to process emotions46:31 Reframing your emotional state52:02 Practicing the four Ms of mental health59:37 Seeing the risks of overrelying on AI01:02:57 Using AI for early mental health intervention01:06:18 Reconnecting with ancient wisdom01:11:01 Nurturing yourself and focusing on growth🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Episode Resources:Website: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sue-varma-m-d-p-c-dfapa-8a48286/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorsuevarma/# X: https://x.com/doctorsuevarma Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Doctorsuevarma/ Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being
What if the real path to longevity is mastering fundamentals while measuring what matters? In this episode, recorded at Copenhagen Health Week, Siim Land - author, longevity educator, and anthropology graduate - breaks down a pragmatic roadmap to living longer and better. We get honest about diet debates, biomarkers, and what to do before you touch a single peptide or pharmaceutical.We cover why adaptation defines human health, how to use blood work and objective markers to see risk decades ahead, the case for sleep, movement, diet, and environment, and where rapamycin, metformin, and methylene blue actually fit. Siim shares his supplement stack, the VO2 max trade-offs with creatine, and a grounded outlook on gene editing, embryo selection, and the ethics of enhancement.📌 What You Will Learn• Adaptation, anthropology, and why context matters• Diet through the biomarker lens, not dogma• The four fundamentals that move the needle• Rapamycin, metformin, methylene blue: promise vs proof• Siim’s stack and why he keeps it simple• VO2 max, creatine, and training trade-offs• Social connection and purpose as longevity inputs• Gene editing timelines and ethical questions• A clear framework for risk in the “escape velocity” era⏱ Timestamps0:00 – The hidden health crisis and why prevention wins1:12 – Siim’s path: fitness to anthropology to longevity4:12 – Humans adapt, and that changes the rules9:58 – Diet diversity, sensitivities, and n of 116:51 – Assess first: biomarkers that predict disease risk18:27 – Fixing sleep, movement, diet, environment22:47 – Caution on rapamycin, metformin, methylene blue25:54 – FOXO3 stem-cell study and what it means37:15 – Mindset and willpower as real enhancers41:44 – TMG, astaxanthin, melatonin, creatine47:09 – VO2 max priorities and performance trade-offs48:51 – Balancing fitness with joy and purpose53:18 – Biomarkers mediate risk more than labels1:01:00 – 2030–2040: what is realistic1:04:02 – Immortality probabilities and living well now1:12:10 – Final thoughts🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com🎧 Follow on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more future-focused conversations.
What if longevity could be designed into your daily life? In this episode, Allen Law shares how he went from turning around a foreclosed hotel at 23 to building Morrow, a $170M wellness ecosystem that applies Lifestyle Medicine, coaching, community, and AI to close the gap between healthspan and lifespan.We talk about the real bottleneck in health — action, not knowledge — and how to turn diagnostics and wearables into decisions you can stick with.
