About this episode

Most people think Bryan Johnson just wants to live forever.


They’re wrong.


Bryan’s real goal is to leave a legacy that will last centuries.


In this episode, we uncover the extraordinary vision of Bryan Johnson, an entrepreneur driven by the audacious mission to earn the respect of people living in the year 2500.


Bryan isn’t just the man who sold Braintree (the parent company of Venmo) for $300 million—he’s an innovator investing every resource he has into shaping humanity’s future. From building a brain-interface company to launching Blueprint, a scientific health initiative, Bryan’s focus isn’t on today’s accolades. It’s on creating a legacy that will stand the test of time.


In this episode:


  • Discover how Bryan’s financial success stemmed from his quest for eternal relevance.
  • Learn how he allocates his wealth, including the risks he’s taken and the investments he regrets.
  • Hear about his frugal lifestyle, his thoughts on the true purpose of money, and why his mission shapes every financial decision he makes.
