Wow …am surprised you got Bryan on…..love the guy, he is one of a kind, honest and genuine. Why, oh why, did you wait to put this video out just now, when you did it in November 😉
I thought this guy was really strange. Then he just talked about the autistic experience so much and therefore I liked him. Very relatable. Really cool. The way he talked about school and feeling connected to dead people in books and the way he talks about power games of people. That's all what I got, too.
I’ve now listened to over a dozen hours of Bryan being interviewed on various podcasts, and this one stands out as the best and most illuminating offering to date. Rich’s ability to ask meaningful yet practical questions coupled with Bryan’s willingness to give us access to his inner voice and motivations behind Project Blueprint made for a sublime experience as an audience member. His Gen Zero philosophy and zeroth principles thinking stand out to me. Gratitude to the both of you.
But we all know the answer. He will have an average between 46 and 100... Poor guy. I've just saw a photo of him. He is 46 and on the photo he looks like... as a wealthy 46
I’m 35, basically worked myself to death last 15 years. Stayed up until 5AM probably 80% of the last decade. I got wealthy but I have finally just admitted to myself - this doesn’t make me happy - at all. I thought it would. Rather the opposite. Went on Blueprint a month ago, never felt better. F**k this present age, I want to be a part of that potiential amazing future. Gonna do all it takes, gonna live in the service of my future self from now on. Bryan has completely opened my eyes. Good luck everyone, and thank you Bryan. You are a remarkable person ❤️ Don’t die.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I know we all are going to die. But, we can lengthen the lifespan. I want to get back my more youthful body and to actually enjoy some of my life. Not doing Blueprint at moment, because I can not consume that diet. But, am doing other aspects of Blueprint and am on carnivore to reduce my inflammation, which has worked. I don't want my brain to be interfaced with AI or any other tech based platform. My soul is mine and so is my consciousness. I like Bryan and his message.
You see in these comments how much more open minded, compassionate and loving Rich Roll’s audience is. Any other TH-cam channel and Bryan gets roasted. This was a great interview and I’m a super fan of both of you. Thanks.
I didn't appreciate the thumbnail clip claiming "The man that ages backwards" when that is not Bryan Johnson's claim. He ages at a slower pace than most, but still ages forward like everyone else. Maybe if you boil a few of his results down into isolation, you could make that claim about that specific organ or metric, but overall, the "man" is still aging forwards. Keep in mind that when your age is measured biologically at 46, what that actually means is that you are as healthy as the general population at age 46.
@@questionauthority-f6i which is why he should do an interview with someone like Dr Peter Attia. It'll help clarify some of the odd things he claims or is claimed about him.
@benjaminosborn2237 The IG fools are uneducated at best. I honestly can get behind bryans theory. He is genuine i can sense his honesty through the screen sure hes what some call quirky but i can see who he is there is no fake essence about him
I retired 12 years ago and spend a lot of my time reviewing different TH-cam videos, this was one of the most enlightening impressive videos I’ve ever watched…. Thank you for pulling this together. I’m very inspired by this.
Leaving this comment with the hopes that Bryan reads this. In this interview, he came across as one of the most honest, upfront, authentic, thoughtful and emotionally evolved human beings, I have ever witnessed. He was so vulnerable in his brutal acceptance of his humanness. I have followed his work for some time, and have learned and benefitted a lot from his longevity protocol. I wish him the very best on this journey, and I hope he finds a beautiful partner in a person who is aligned with his values and goals.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I think that people who go to content they aren’t interested in just to make irrelevant, unintelligent comments need to get out more.
My favourite interview so far of Bryan Johnson. Rich was able to connect with the intimate part of Bryan Johnson; he was never in the caricature, and he has opened up the space for a profound exchange between the two.. Bravo.. I was captivated from beginning to the end of the interview!
Yes! Wholly agree. Just before this podcast I watched Bryan on Dave Asprey's podcast. What a difference! This was a refreshingly unique conversation. The more I see of both these men, the more my respect for them grows.
I'm doing the low budget version of Mr. Johnson's program. I'm using a lot of the strategies that Dr. Michael Greger suggests in his book "How Not to Age". I would say that it is working. I'm 53 but my metabolic age is 46. I'm running my second marathon in March. My goal is to maximize my healthspan as well as my lifespan as much as possible and take advantage of the advances in anti-aging medicine as those occur in the future. If I had the resources I would probably pursue many of the therapies that Mr. Johnson is doing if I'm honest.
@@ThePathOfEudaimonia I’m mainly focusing on the basics with optimized sleep, a healthy plant based diet, lots of exercise including cardio and weight training, spending time with friends and family preferably outdoors, etc. On a more esoteric level I have a supplement regimen and I’ve developed a carefully designed fiber blend which I take twice daily. My diet is also pretty thoughtfully designed. For example I’ve created a wild blueberry oatmeal recipe that actually contains many functional ingredients such as Amla powder, moong dal, barley groats, high ORAC spices such as cloves, Ceylon cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, etc. I batch cook this recipe about once a week and eat it with fresh fruits and soy milk and sprouted flax powder every day. I also batch cook 6 pounds of frozen collard and mustard greens at a time in my 8 quart Instant Pot and eat those with everything else I cook throughout the week. I could go on and on.
@@Chris_Faraday lmao what hahahahahaha he has said many times that he read a lot of biographies growing up and wants to leave a mark just like his heroes
As a 15 years vegan i see his intusiasm, determination and his compassion, and that gives me hope for humanity. I hope a lot of people see this interview. Thank you Bryan.
This interview was a masterpiece Mr. Rich Roll. You’ve demonstrated once again your art of interviewing and connection with your guests. You’ve taken a very misunderstood man and allowed him to be truly seen and heard. I have a new found respect for what he is doing and his reasonings behind it. You’ve breathed a new life in his mission. So much respect for both of you. And congrats on finally achieving a million subscribers. You’ve earned it!!
This is one of the most moving conversations I've ever witnessed. Rich Roll is an extraordinary human and probably the best interviewer of all podcasters. This is my first time ever hearing Bryan speak and he is nothing like the way he is portrayed. In my opinion you are both neurodivergent - which, in this completely insane world - is a huge compliment. Bravo and thank you to both of you.
This was the best, THE BEST, conversation I’ve heard with Bryan! I have a clear understanding of his mission that I’ve never gotten from his other conversations! Well done Rich!!! 🧡🙏🧡
“Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don't want it. What appears bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.” ~ Miller Williams
I really appreciate how Rich helps him to pause and reflect on his upbringing, and his current mission. Bryan is an example of someone doing really interesting work today, despite a traumatic childhood. He is controversial, but his dedication both with his money and his time has started to show us some great data. More importantly, allows for great conversations around longevity. Thank you guys for sharing this conversation.
Brian has no awareness to listen to his god give gut instincts. He only realize on "scientific data". Brian also looked sickly now he is spray tanning his skin so he appears to look "healthy". he also dyes his hair to hide his age. Opposed to channel Dr Sean Omara who eats a carnviore diet with fremented veggies (which puts good gut bacteria into the immune system), weight trains and he sprints. Plus he does not try to hide his age. He looks healthy & fastastic with a 30 year old body. EAT MEAT it keeps you health & happy.
He's made himself a guinea pig in search of something that will not end well. Where will you be when this man irreparably hurts himself? He already looks very unwell. Pride is a terrible sin. I suffer from it daily but this poor man is in utter slavery to it.
It took me a few days to get through this podcast. One of my favorite things about how Rich interviews guests is that he asks questions no one else asks. I have listened to Bryan on other podcasts & feel that those other podcasts failed to capture the depth of this endeavor. I loved the nuisance of this conversation. It went so deep! I’m going to listen to it again. I work in Regenerative Health & help people reverse chronic disease using diet & holistic interventions. This conversation has me thinking about how I can support my clients on a deeper level. We do truly live in an environment where the environment we’re in doesn’t support individual health & wellbeing. This is why the disease epidemic is so pervasive. I really appreciated this conversation. I especially resonated with Bryan speaking about compassion. As a species we do have to move beyond death and destruction. It’s such a broken and limited paradigm. Thanks so much! I’m going to be sharing this podcast episode with many people!
One of my favorite moments is where Bryan responds to Rich's question about whether it is too late for some of us to save ourselves by saying genuinely we should all maintain hope. I have tried to pose these ideas to friends and family .... some get what I'm saying but feel its too late for them...and hearing Bryan say it's not too late for any of us makes me so encouraged to continue trying to inspire positive change in those I care about.
I love how Rich holds such a kind compassionate space allowing Bryon to be seen for the incredibly beautiful human being he is. Absolutely incredible. I too hope Bryon finds love he deserves to be loved….he’s clearly loved by this community! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
"I too hope Bryon finds love" - Well it's time to this to be happened... he is 46... Actually he doesn't look for love but eternal life... Poor man.. he's already fallen...
@@jamk2668 I have two... already adults. I loved them, brought them up, so I didn't have as much time like this guy has for himself. He doesn't need love cos he love himself enough....
That was so beautiful to listen too. I've see many interviews with Bryan but none that we more real and intimate than this. Rich is the master of having amazing conversations with some of the most interesting and smart people. Bryan you are an incredible human being and the dedication you put into this research to move the needle is unfathomable
Best interview of Bryan on the web. He explores both a breadth and depth of Bryan's ideas and life. Even if you are repulsed by Bryan and completely disagree with Bryan's experiment you can appreciate the thought and philosophy that goes into it. I have never listened to a Rich Roll interview before; I will be listening to more.
RR is by far the best thinker and interviewer I’ve come across. Another great podcast is Diary of a CEO. Bryan is a visionary and innovator and I’m so glad he is in my generation.
I would have more respect for him if he didn't cherry pick interviews and did some with doctors. If he's doing science, the critical review part that is required from the scientific method is lacking.
@@Dontbustthecrust Did you pay full attention to the interview until the very last second? I understand it’s a rough start to invest 2,5h. It’s not just about Bryan; he “simply” made it (it’s almost magical that he made it) through the noise first with a clear vision and had the courage to take the lead. All minor details, like the most accurate measurement etc., will be addressed in the future hopefully in a discussion involving most humans alive
This was the best interview that Rich Roll has ever done in my opinion, great emotional sensitivity, excellent questions and comments. In listening to several of Bryan Johnson’s past interviews, I was left uninspired and unimpressed. This interview, however, led me to a 180° reassessment. Deep respect now for Bryan’s courageous, exploratory spirit! I will be eagerly following Bryan‘s journey from this time forward.
I think Bryan is a genius and one of most humble person out there. I think that Bryan started something really importnant which will have huge impact on humanity in the future. I wish that Blueprint would create a space such as meetings, memberships ect. for its members as I want to be a part of it. I want to thank Bryan for creating such great ideology. I just started implementing some of the protocol habits and hoping to get better with that in nearest future.
A wonderfully thought-provoking conversation between two thought-leaders of the world. It has the hallmarks of the beginning of a true friendship. I hope Brian finds his compatible person soon.
I'm always impressed at how thoughtful Bryan is in his responses and goes out of his way to say when he is grateful for certain questions and comments. He seems to be a great listener. Kudos for all he is trying to do, and thank you, Rich, for managing to have conversations that bring out more from your guests than what we've heard before.
A profoundly moving interview and a reminder of why Mister Roll is the best in the game. I’ve been following Rich Roll for a while now and I feel like every episode changes me somehow. My life before and after discovering RR is so different. Thank you Bryan for your ethos and erudite elucidation on your mission. Great thinkers not only wander the halls of their own conceptual infrastructure, they act; they live their principles. Thank you for your integrity, your courage and your imagination. Since listening to this wonderful interview with Bryan I myself feel confronted and disturbed enough by my own inertia and perhaps brave enough to question the corners, bumps and angles of my own existence. Who am I? And what do I not know? Wow. One of the best conversations on being human I have heard in my lifetime. Thank you. There are new altitudes for humanity made conceivable by questioning the standard model of experience. Thank you Bryan.
Rich-you're a gifted interviewer, thank you for the opportunity to get to know Bryan better. Bryan- as a physician, I admire your dedication to advancing science. This was the first time that I got to know you on a deeper level which transcends your work and your vision. That was endearing and insightful. Thank you for your authenticity and the immense vulnerability you shared.
I've followed Bryan Johnson's journey in health optimization and longevity across numerous interviews. However, Rich's recent podcast stands out as the most insightful and engaging conversation that I have watched to date. Unlike some interviews that skim the surface, Rich delves deeper. He explores the "why" behind Johnson's motivations, uncovering the internal drive that fuels his pursuit of optimal health. Rich's skillful questioning guides the conversation without imposing his own biases. This allows Bryan to articulate his complex ideas clearly and authentically, providing listeners with a direct window into his perspective. Well done Rich!
This is one of the most remarkable interviews I have heard. The generosity of both of you is a testimony to your love and compassion for humanity. This found me at the right moment, that synchronicity arriving like a train on schedule. I am excited to explore this more and am grateful to you both for each of your purposes and opening up this conversation so personably. 🙏🏼
Only came across Bryan about a month ago now, I was definitely intrigued and have listened to a few hours of interviews. THANK YOU Bryan. For not only openly stating and truly trying to nail down the description of where our mindset needs to be, but actually doing what can be done and speaking about the journey as a flawed human like all of us. Thank you Rich Roll for extending your hard earned clout to support such a deserved person. Best podcast I've seen in a while.
This was a great interview that showed the human side of Bryan and gave me a much better understanding of him and his work. Not what I expected. I agree with so many of his ideas and would be happy to have a guy like him as a friend.
I just met Brian through this awesome podcast. He and I share a trauma. My kids also saved me from suicide. This fact only increased my respect for this man. He is in my opinion the bravest pioneer this planet has seen given his opposition is his fellow man. The very one he hopes to save. I will be following and supporting Brian, his team, his mission and product. Thank you for this very enlightening pod cast. Jeff R
Rich Roll - Thank you for the best Bryan Johnson interview I have seen, hands down. I appreciate your openness and willingness to consider his perspective without judgement or imposing your own opinions. You asked very fair and thought provoking questions. While providing Bryan the space to feel free to express himself more deeply than on any other interview I have seen. Thanks again!
A very unique, special and profound conversation! I was already following Bryan on Instagram, but hadn’t had the grasp of his purpose and his overall background and context. I loved this opportunity to know him and his work through the guidance of a Rich Roll’s mindful conversation. It was a very nice, fluid and engaging dialogue to watch. Specially from the point of view of another society statistical “outlier”! I’ve a very nice and diverse group of friends and family, I know the struggles of standing out by having different choices in life. It’s so much easier when I’m in a like-minded group of people, all seeking lifespan extension. Bryan does it on another level, I really appreciate the commitment and effort. Thank you both! Isabel 🇵🇹
Finally finished this in between 2 jobs, wifing and momming… Bryan Johnson if you are still reading comments THANK YOU for making everything available to the public. It really makes it clear that your primary goal is improving the trajectory of humanity and not just wealth. Our family is excited to try some of the protocol!
Wow. Rich is the translator for the misunderstood. He did this with Goggins also, helping people see past the rough edges. I’m so glad I watched this until the end (the best part). Amazing interview and such great respect and insights on both sides. I love it when people are willing to truly hear each other’s stories and see the good, even when you don’t agree on everything. Beautiful.
How lucky are we that this guy exists today. Giving all of this information away. Possibly changing the game in the most profound way. Thank you so much Bryan. You’re a true pioneer and a truly good person.
I wish him the best in his endeavor. Good for him for sharing what he's learning. I look to see what positive findings can come out of his efforts. Please keep us posted.
Rich sells products and takes sponsorship. That doesn't mean that Bryan's endeavor is compromised. It also doesn't necessarily mean that Rich is compromised... There are good ways to do business. There are ways to monetize without giving up your integrity. Unless you are a monk or nun, or someone else privileged enough to avoid money entirely, you must engage the field of commerce. The best you can do is navigate that world skillfully. 🙏💪🏼❤️
I have been following Bryan since the beginning of his project and absolutely admire his way of thinking, purpose, and generosity. Excellent interview! Thank you both so much! 🙏
Bryan seems like a total sweetheart! Takes a lot of fortitude and vulnerability to be him, I'm guessing. Compassion and love for all of existence. What a power pair in this conversation. Thanks to both of you.
Brian is truly an amazing human being. He is willing to do the work that no one out there is willing to do to improve the life of humanity. I will continue following his progress and continue to integrate his protocols, at least the ones I can afford , into my life. Thank you Brian for improving the quality of my life.
Never heard of Bryan and happy for it! Allowed me to listen with no prejudices that I guess many people have. Bryan, you do you! Rich, you’re amazing at having these conversations with no underlying angle and a genuineness that allows the guest to express themselves without threat. Thankyou both♥️
This has to be one of the most insightful, thought-provoking podcasts I've ever listened to. I'm so impressed by how much thought, research and care Bryan has put into his blueprint protocol and by his vulnerability and honesty. I eat a whole food, plant-based diet, don't drink alcohol or caffeine and go to bed every night at 8:30pm. Because of this, I find it's so hard to socialize or even attend work-related functions. I have to eat in advance and constantly explain why I'm not eating. People think I'm weird or have an eating disorder. I can't imagine how difficult it is for Bryan to stick to this lifestyle and I'm grateful for the sacrifice this entails. I hope he inspires the world to follow his lead
This is going to be interesting. Edit: I listened to the whole episode, and I'm impressed. This was such a great conversation, and I really enjoyed everything Bryan Johnson shared. I wish him the best and looking forward to seeing his discoveries and achievements there. It's an exciting mission.
Don’t Die Bryan! I have followed you since the beginning of time if anything was to happen to you I feel my life would have no reason anymore it’s really weird it’s like you are in charge of my life now and blueprint IS the future of mankind , I can not thank you enough for doing what you have and continue to do for us humans ….Thankyou and thanks rich for your amazing podcast
Bryan, when you discussed your religious upbringing, and how that brought you to distrust all authority, I I could’ve completed your sentences for a few minutes of this podcast. I share a similar experience. Glad you turned that into a quest for facts-based knowledge and a genuine desire to solve humanity’s greatest unresolved problem. I will be following your journey. I hope you succeed!!
Excellent conversation. I'm 56. Woke up one morning in early July 2023 and decided its time to turn around the way I've treated my body for the 20 years prior. Today, I'm down 43 pounds - working towards my goal of 170 pounds, and have added muscle. Intermittent fasting, better diet, supplements, and weight lifting have got me there, so far. There are a lot of cool things coming with technology and AI, so "don't die", resonates.
Wow! Rich, this is your best podcast to date - and I’m a long term listener. Thank you for the thoughtful questions and respectful treatment of a lot of challenging content. Bryan, you are an inspiration. What you’re attempting is amazing. I’m a 58YO guy who has just quit the corporate world (my own tech services business) to become a musician. I think people think I’m strange and I think I am too 😅. I have been looking at your protocols so I can have a healthy and productive 3rd act. and have already made some changes. My wife is a leader in the yoga. somatics world so she’s supportive. If you ever get to sydney please come say hi. In the meantime I won’t die.
Imagine Bryan Johnson was an academic, using grants from tax money to do the research, publishing the results in a non-public access journal (i.e., $$$ for subscription), and founding a company with the goal of being acquired by pharma ($$$$$$) - he is none of this. I was judgemental about him boefore, but after giving it a thought, I like and respect him.
This is the most fascinating podcast episode I've ever listened to, bar none, and I've listened to a whole lot of episodes from many different podcasts over the years. I'd never heard of Bryan before this. What a shame. Apart from the specifics of his quest, I feel like I got to know Bryan and am now even more keen to get know him better. His honesty, authenticity and vulnerability all came through thanks to Rich's interviewing skills. Bryan, you're a very special person. If you're ever in Toronto, I'd love to go for a walk or meet for dinner at 11am. Keep being you and thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Best interview I’ve ever seen. Bryan is the new philosopher and scientist we all need. Someone with new ideas that can truly transform and improve human and animal life as well as the life of our planet. I’m so excited for what he’s doing and going to do! Thanks for this Rich!
We will all get old and we all will die. Some age slower some faster. Rich is a great interviewer. I'm a follower of Buddhism for many years now. No judgement here just let him go on this path until he can't.
I've been following Bryan for quite a long time now with great interest. I'm on my second listen through this interview right now. This is by far the most relatable and best in depth explanation as to why Bryan is doing what he does. Rich is a fantastic interviewer and Bryan is truly going where no one has gone before. I'm a 62 year old woman trying to implement Blueprint slowly (as best I can financially) and I love the science and philosophy behind it. The idea that I often do not have my own best interests at heart resonates so well with me. And I really loved the evidence here that it is never too late. Now if I could only get my 18 year old son to give me some plasma.
My mind is a drunken sailor too!!! I also fired my evening self a year ago😅 This was the best interview I have listened to with Bryan . Thank you Rich. To Bryan , I’m looking forward to checking out the products when they come out. So far I’ve been able to do the “poor man” version of blueprint for the last couple years while working as a hair and makeup artist in the film industry. We work crazy hours and live in a crazy world , so if I can do it , others will and can too.
I didn't listen to this right away because I've listened to 10 other podcasts with Brian on them. By far, this is the best interview I've seen with him so far. Rich, you are a treasure. What Brian is doing truly is fascinating.
Wow, both of you were humble, curious and vulnerable. I’ve been following Bryan’s journey for about a year and felt his emotional and generous connection to Project Blueprint. What a privilege to listen to your dialogue, and I definitely want an invite to that dinner!
How beautiful conversation. Thank you so much, Rich and Bryan. Dear Bryan, Many ladies will be so proud and happy to be your partner. What you are doing for humanity is invaluable. I am ready to make the shift and follow you. You got a new soldie❤r❤ ❤
Like the interviewer, I used to dismiss Bryan's initiatives as massive cash grabs, but having listened to him a bunch of times, I now think he is right!
When I turned vegan some 8 years ago, my mission was to live long enough, with enough energy and vigour to see through my son’s growth. My tune changed slightly with the acknowledgment that animals needed to be fought for and protected. I’m now adding a new dimension: Do not die! Bryan is a fascinating individual, I’m inspired to try out The Blueprint.
Bryan’s humility speaks volumes. This was such a phenomenal interview, and kept me engaged through its entirety. Bryan’s direct and clear vision extracted the very best of Rich, who is already a brilliant speaker and interviewer. The conversation flowed naturally because they both came ready to dive deeply, and push conversational boundaries. I’ve been listening to Rich for years, but this is an exceptionally good interview from the RR Pod.
Truly the most amazing podcast with Bryan that he has ever been on. It went on so many deep levels that other interviewers simply don't go that it is hard to describe the rollercoaster of emotions I felt watching it. And, surprisingly, I think Bryan's message was the clearest in this interview. I can't pin point the exact reason but it could have been the genuineness of these 2 spectacular human beings brought into a beautiful connection and creating this conversation that was more down the line of a psychedelic experience rather than a simple conversation.
I was just blown away with this interview. I need to rewatch it because my mind needs to consume all of the things Bryan is saying. He is way ahead of his time.
One of the best Bryan Johnson interviews. Credit of the interview goes to Rich for asking meaningful and insightful questions so that Bryan can explain why he is doing what he is doing. Most interviews go into what Bryan is doing but Rich understands Bryan and goes deeper into the thought and philosophy that makes Bryan Johnson the person he has become. Excellent job Rich.
Bryan should really focus on promulgating the philosophy behind his approach. I never expected that a public figure will also share a lot of my own world view. It is really amazing to see that and gives me even more confidence for the future.
Bryan Johnson, you are a gift to humanity and possibly a limitless possibility to go beyond the expected limitations of our living. I have watched your interviews on various podcasts. This is the best. So much to learn and think about while watching you talk. So much negativity about what you do also reminds me about how so much vulgar abuses were thrown at me when I published a book about my own childhood experiences and traumas. The book was published in my native language Punjabi 2 years back but I still haven't recovered from the blames and abuses. Your attitude about taking the criticism so lightly is giving me strength to get over it. Thank you so much !! And thanks to Rich Roll for having this brilliant podcast.
This is really, really exciting! Thank you for being an innovator and for sharing your experiments publicly. It’s all so fascinating. I almost dismissed this episode and I’m so glad I didn’t. ❤️
I used to think BJ was weird and didn’t think much else of him. My mind warmed up to him on a previous interview, I think it was Diary of a CEO. But THIS podcast shows somewhat of how his philosophy formed. Of course Rich Roll is the only interviewer who could elucidate this information from Mr. Johnson. I’m SO excited about this idea of hacking our physiology and our bio-world to include sustainable energy, environmental science, health and wellbeing. I can see his take on history and technology and I am tickled by DONT DIE. Wow, I would like to try assisted democratic biology. And I think God, Allah, the cosmos is bringing this information to us in the form of idea and consciousness. I love the technical holistic biological physiological approach to don’t die and don’t kill. Don’t kill each other, don’t kill our planet, don’t act in destructive ways. ✌️ Hey , if you need a similar aged female to blueprint- I will do it! Thank you for your innovative, rigorous evolution of our species.
Nowadays, I rarely comment on TH-cam but for this one I had to do it. Rich, this is probably one of the best conversations I've seen you have on the podcast. Thank you for such an amazing and informative episode.
I have probably watched every Bryan Johnson interview and this is undoubtedly the best one I have seen. I appreciated the depths you were able to reach. I now think a lot about AI and also believe that we have already lost the agency that is so often collectively assumed. As Mo Gawdat puts it, we will be equivalent to the intelligence of a fly in comparison to AI by 2049. It is scary to step into the unknown but it is waste of time to agonize about it. The only chance we have is to align our values with a greater good that goes beyond ourselves. I am grateful for the call to higher consciousness that Bryan exemplifies. It truly gives me hope and has empowered me to make meaningful change in my own life.
This was a very deep interview and I appreciate Brain very much for doing this, what an incredible human being. The human potential is in my opinion so big that there are no limits to reach 500 years and beyond.
At about an hour in I got a real sense of the depth of the thinking behind this system, and behind Brian himself. This isn't just about health and longevity - this is about elevating ourselves to being the best versions of humans we can be. That he calls for what is currently culturually highly counter-intuitive - to abdicate some of our liberty, our responsibility - makes this some seriously unique thinking, especially in Western orthodox philosophy. I am simultaneously fascinated and inspired by this thinking. This could be the revolution we need - based on the acceptance that we are not the best that we can be, that we can be better, and that being better is predicated on the humble admission we would do better to outsource a good deal of our thinking and strategising to something that already is, on many measures, far better at it than we are. I can't wait to see the Earth Blueprint - not to mention the really tough one, the Humanity Blueprint. Can we align? All 8 billion of us? Can we all share the same priorities? Deeply interesting question.
@@GreatMij I am most assuredly NOT talking about Christianity - or indeed, any religion. I take your point about outsourcing and abdicating liberty in the name of something greater - but I'm also talking about a system (Brian's) which has actual, real-world effects. Prayer and supplication, so far as I know, have no such effect.
A very unique, special and profound conversation! I was already following Bryan on Instagram, but hadn’t had the grasp of his purpose and his overall background and context.

What a beautiful man. My favourite comment was his answer as to why go plant based. ❤️ Bryan’s compassion, generosity and pursuit for the betterment of humanity gives one hope in this sometimes hard to navigate world. Hopefully he is not under any illusion that the pandemic and climate change is natural. Many have awakened to the forces at play who have zero intention for the betterment of humanity.
This was a great interview! Bryan is authentic and an inspiration to challenge ourselves! You have to be beyond emotional and spiritual to do something that will benefit humanity with your money!

Wow …am surprised you got Bryan on…..love the guy, he is one of a kind, honest and genuine. Why, oh why, did you wait to put this video out just now, when you did it in November 😉
Sell sell sell Baby $$$$$$$ The hustle culture is DEAD! Wake up Rich . Where's Julie . Your turning into another JOE EGO ROGEN ! SAD .
Excellent conversation
The neurodivergent comment was rude. Could have done better there.
I thought this guy was really strange. Then he just talked about the autistic experience so much and therefore I liked him. Very relatable. Really cool. The way he talked about school and feeling connected to dead people in books and the way he talks about power games of people. That's all what I got, too.
It’s an interviewee like Bryan Johnson that enables Rich Roll to demonstrate what an exceptionally brilliant interviewer he is. In awe…
Well said! I was thinking exactly the same thing.
DITTO! Came here to say same! I came away respecting Roll that much more.
🐐
I couldn't agree more with this.
Agreed!
I’ve now listened to over a dozen hours of Bryan being interviewed on various podcasts, and this one stands out as the best and most illuminating offering to date. Rich’s ability to ask meaningful yet practical questions coupled with Bryan’s willingness to give us access to his inner voice and motivations behind Project Blueprint made for a sublime experience as an audience member. His Gen Zero philosophy and zeroth principles thinking stand out to me. Gratitude to the both of you.
👍
Excellent demonstration of male bonding through authenticity and genuine sharing from the core of being and relating at a higher level!
Hey, good to see you here!
Why don't u date him 🤔😂😂
The same here !!
This guy makes me want to live longer just for the sole reason to see how long he lives.
Me too! Unfortunately I‘m older than him, so I will for sure miss the critical years…
this made me laugh out loud! and I have thought the same
But we all know the answer. He will have an average between 46 and 100...
Poor guy. I've just saw a photo of him. He is 46 and on the photo he looks like... as a wealthy 46
He probably won't live much longer than anyone else in his family. Senescence is mostly determined by your genes.
@@divinusmaximus1315 He actually looks pasty and unhealthy. His body fat/BMI is too low.
I’m 35, basically worked myself to death last 15 years. Stayed up until 5AM probably 80% of the last decade. I got wealthy but I have finally just admitted to myself - this doesn’t make me happy - at all. I thought it would. Rather the opposite.
Went on Blueprint a month ago, never felt better. F**k this present age, I want to be a part of that potiential amazing future. Gonna do all it takes, gonna live in the service of my future self from now on. Bryan has completely opened my eyes.
Good luck everyone, and thank you Bryan. You are a remarkable person ❤️
Don’t die.
Transhumanism is just a substitute of self for God. Pure narcissism.
Then I am God.
Wealth is a fake construct. True wealth is your mental, physical and spiritual health; and everything downstream of that.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I know we all are going to die. But, we can lengthen the lifespan. I want to get back my more youthful body and to actually enjoy some of my life. Not doing Blueprint at moment, because I can not consume that diet. But, am doing other aspects of Blueprint and am on carnivore to reduce my inflammation, which has worked. I don't want my brain to be interfaced with AI or any other tech based platform. My soul is mine and so is my consciousness. I like Bryan and his message.
Love in the service of the Lord my friend - that's all that's required. This man is very ill. I hope he finds truth and light quickly.
You see in these comments how much more open minded, compassionate and loving Rich Roll’s audience is. Any other TH-cam channel and Bryan gets roasted. This was a great interview and I’m a super fan of both of you. Thanks.
Has bryan ever done an interview with an actual doctor?
I didn't appreciate the thumbnail clip claiming "The man that ages backwards" when that is not Bryan Johnson's claim. He ages at a slower pace than most, but still ages forward like everyone else. Maybe if you boil a few of his results down into isolation, you could make that claim about that specific organ or metric, but overall, the "man" is still aging forwards.
Keep in mind that when your age is measured biologically at 46, what that actually means is that you are as healthy as the general population at age 46.
@@questionauthority-f6i which is why he should do an interview with someone like Dr Peter Attia. It'll help clarify some of the odd things he claims or is claimed about him.
totally - but what is interesting is on IG he gets roasted. Says something about the IG crowd
@benjaminosborn2237 The IG fools are uneducated at best. I honestly can get behind bryans theory. He is genuine i can sense his honesty through the screen sure hes what some call quirky but i can see who he is there is no fake essence about him
I retired 12 years ago and spend a lot of my time reviewing different TH-cam videos, this was one of the most enlightening impressive videos I’ve ever watched…. Thank you for pulling this together. I’m very inspired by this.
Leaving this comment with the hopes that Bryan reads this.
In this interview, he came across as one of the most honest, upfront, authentic, thoughtful and emotionally evolved human beings, I have ever witnessed. He was so vulnerable in his brutal acceptance of his humanness. I have followed his work for some time, and have learned and benefitted a lot from his longevity protocol.
I wish him the very best on this journey, and I hope he finds a beautiful partner in a person who is aligned with his values and goals.
We’ll said. I agree.
You need to get out more.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I think that people who go to content they aren’t interested in just to make irrelevant, unintelligent comments need to get out more.

My favourite interview so far of Bryan Johnson. Rich was able to connect with the intimate part of Bryan Johnson; he was never in the caricature, and he has opened up the space for a profound exchange between the two.. Bravo.. I was captivated from beginning to the end of the interview!
Yes! Wholly agree. Just before this podcast I watched Bryan on Dave Asprey's podcast. What a difference! This was a refreshingly unique conversation. The more I see of both these men, the more my respect for them grows.
Same here🙌 I was not expecting to feel warm and fuzzy after their conversation, but here I am, having renewed hope for humanity. 💗🫶
I'm doing the low budget version of Mr. Johnson's program. I'm using a lot of the strategies that Dr. Michael Greger suggests in his book "How Not to Age". I would say that it is working. I'm 53 but my metabolic age is 46. I'm running my second marathon in March. My goal is to maximize my healthspan as well as my lifespan as much as possible and take advantage of the advances in anti-aging medicine as those occur in the future. If I had the resources I would probably pursue many of the therapies that Mr. Johnson is doing if I'm honest.
What are the major interventions that you are using?
@@ThePathOfEudaimonia I’m mainly focusing on the basics with optimized sleep, a healthy plant based diet, lots of exercise including cardio and weight training, spending time with friends and family preferably outdoors, etc. On a more esoteric level I have a supplement regimen and I’ve developed a carefully designed fiber blend which I take twice daily. My diet is also pretty thoughtfully designed. For example I’ve created a wild blueberry oatmeal recipe that actually contains many functional ingredients such as Amla powder, moong dal, barley groats, high ORAC spices such as cloves, Ceylon cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, etc. I batch cook this recipe about once a week and eat it with fresh fruits and soy milk and sprouted flax powder every day. I also batch cook 6 pounds of frozen collard and mustard greens at a time in my 8 quart Instant Pot and eat those with everything else I cook throughout the week. I could go on and on.
How specifically is metabolic age determined?
Oof, listening to Greger. That’s a mistake.
I would limit marathon running. Excessive exercise will accelerate the accumulation of molecular and cellular damage
I just love how polite Bryan is, absolutely wholesame and caring
He is a good person very smart but there is a some desception or agenda behind him. He may not even know but is enjoying the ride
@@Chris_Faraday lmao what hahahahahaha he has said many times that he read a lot of biographies growing up and wants to leave a mark just like his heroes
Yeah, but he mistreated his cancer stricken ex, Taryn Southern.
@@Chris_Faradayhis history says he is not a good person...ask Taryn Southern.
As a 15 years vegan i see his intusiasm, determination and his compassion, and that gives me hope for humanity. I hope a lot of people see this interview. Thank you Bryan.
This interview was a masterpiece Mr. Rich Roll. You’ve demonstrated once again your art of interviewing and connection with your guests. You’ve taken a very misunderstood man and allowed him to be truly seen and heard. I have a new found respect for what he is doing and his reasonings behind it. You’ve breathed a new life in his mission. So much respect for both of you. And congrats on finally achieving a million subscribers. You’ve earned it!!
Yesssss!!!
God, I could not agree more, what a beautiful conversation. 🙏💕
Good advice: Lean in to the trolls. Say, “Yes, and….”
What an interesting podcast. Kudos to Bryan for being different. Kudos to Rich for facilitating a deep conversation.
This is one of the most moving conversations I've ever witnessed. Rich Roll is an extraordinary human and probably the best interviewer of all podcasters. This is my first time ever hearing Bryan speak and he is nothing like the way he is portrayed. In my opinion you are both neurodivergent - which, in this completely insane world - is a huge compliment. Bravo and thank you to both of you.
This was the best, THE BEST, conversation I’ve heard with Bryan! I have a clear understanding of his mission that I’ve never gotten from his other conversations! Well done Rich!!! 🧡🙏🧡
Yeah it really was awesome. I think Bryan is getting better at refining his points. Distilling them down and adding better analogy's.
@@IsaacSMILE 💯 agree!!
“Have compassion for
everyone you meet,
even if they don't want it.

You do not know what wars
are going on down there
where the spirit meets the

~ Miller Williams
I really appreciate how Rich helps him to pause and reflect on his upbringing, and his current mission. Bryan is an example of someone doing really interesting work today, despite a traumatic childhood. He is controversial, but his dedication both with his money and his time has started to show us some great data. More importantly, allows for great conversations around longevity. Thank you guys for sharing this conversation.
So true. He’s fascinating. I wouldn’t do it even if I could but we should appreciate his contribution to humanity ❤
Brian has no awareness to listen to his god give gut instincts. He only realize on "scientific data".
Brian also looked sickly now he is spray tanning his skin so he appears to look "healthy". he also dyes his hair to hide his age.
Opposed to channel Dr Sean Omara who eats a carnviore diet with fremented veggies (which puts good gut bacteria into the immune system), weight trains and he sprints. Plus he does not try to hide his age. He looks healthy & fastastic with a 30 year old body. EAT MEAT it keeps you health & happy.
He's made himself a guinea pig in search of something that will not end well. Where will you be when this man irreparably hurts himself? He already looks very unwell.
Pride is a terrible sin. I suffer from it daily but this poor man is in utter slavery to it.
It took me a few days to get through this podcast. One of my favorite things about how Rich interviews guests is that he asks questions no one else asks. I have listened to Bryan on other podcasts & feel that those other podcasts failed to capture the depth of this endeavor. I loved the nuisance of this conversation. It went so deep! I’m going to listen to it again. I work in Regenerative Health & help people reverse chronic disease using diet & holistic interventions. This conversation has me thinking about how I can support my clients on a deeper level. We do truly live in an environment where the environment we’re in doesn’t support individual health & wellbeing. This is why the disease epidemic is so pervasive. I really appreciated this conversation. I especially resonated with Bryan speaking about compassion. As a species we do have to move beyond death and destruction. It’s such a broken and limited paradigm. Thanks so much! I’m going to be sharing this podcast episode with many people!
What a gift to have both Rich and Bryan in one podcast. Thank you !
One of my favorite moments is where Bryan responds to Rich's question about whether it is too late for some of us to save ourselves by saying genuinely we should all maintain hope. I have tried to pose these ideas to friends and family .... some get what I'm saying but feel its too late for them...and hearing Bryan say it's not too late for any of us makes me so encouraged to continue trying to inspire positive change in those I care about.
I love how Rich holds such a kind compassionate space allowing Bryon to be seen for the incredibly beautiful human being he is. Absolutely incredible. I too hope Bryon finds love he deserves to be loved….he’s clearly loved by this community! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
"I too hope Bryon finds love" - Well it's time to this to be happened... he is 46... Actually he doesn't look for love but eternal life... Poor man.. he's already fallen...
@@divinusmaximus1315 Seems like he has love for his children. Doesn't seem like he needs to look for it.
@@jamk2668 I have two... already adults. I loved them, brought them up, so I didn't have as much time like this guy has for himself. He doesn't need love cos he love himself enough....
That was so beautiful to listen too. I've see many interviews with Bryan but none that we more real and intimate than this. Rich is the master of having amazing conversations with some of the most interesting and smart people. Bryan you are an incredible human being and the dedication you put into this research to move the needle is unfathomable
Best interview of Bryan on the web. He explores both a breadth and depth of Bryan's ideas and life. Even if you are repulsed by Bryan and completely disagree with Bryan's experiment you can appreciate the thought and philosophy that goes into it. I have never listened to a Rich Roll interview before; I will be listening to more.
RR is by far the best thinker and interviewer I’ve come across. Another great podcast is Diary of a CEO. Bryan is a visionary and innovator and I’m so glad he is in my generation.
Couldn’t agree more- they should work together ❤
I would have more respect for him if he didn't cherry pick interviews and did some with doctors. If he's doing science, the critical review part that is required from the scientific method is lacking.
@@Dontbustthecrust Did you pay full attention to the interview until the very last second? I understand it’s a rough start to invest 2,5h.
It’s not just about Bryan; he “simply” made it (it’s almost magical that he made it) through the noise first with a clear vision and had the courage to take the lead. All minor details, like the most accurate measurement etc., will be addressed in the future hopefully in a discussion involving most humans alive
@@cambodiaparadise you sound like someone talking about his cult leader.
This was the best interview that Rich Roll has ever done in my opinion, great emotional sensitivity, excellent questions and comments. In listening to several of Bryan Johnson’s past interviews, I was left uninspired and unimpressed. This interview, however, led me to a 180° reassessment. Deep respect now for Bryan’s courageous, exploratory spirit! I will be eagerly following Bryan‘s journey from this time forward.
I think Bryan is a genius and one of most humble person out there. I think that Bryan started something really importnant which will have huge impact on humanity in the future. I wish that Blueprint would create a space such as meetings, memberships ect. for its members as I want to be a part of it. I want to thank Bryan for creating such great ideology. I just started implementing some of the protocol habits and hoping to get better with that in nearest future.
A wonderfully thought-provoking conversation between two thought-leaders of the world. It has the hallmarks of the beginning of a true friendship. I hope Brian finds his compatible person soon.
Rich Roll is the best interviewer!! Kind, compassionate, thoughtful and always so interested and interesting! Thanks!
I'm always impressed at how thoughtful Bryan is in his responses and goes out of his way to say when he is grateful for certain questions and comments. He seems to be a great listener. Kudos for all he is trying to do, and thank you, Rich, for managing to have conversations that bring out more from your guests than what we've heard before.
Both these men are a beautiful example of openness to listen , understanding, of each one’s journey n a love to serve.
Thank you.
A profoundly moving interview and a reminder of why Mister Roll is the best in the game. I’ve been following Rich Roll for a while now and I feel like every episode changes me somehow. My life before and after discovering RR is so different.
Thank you Bryan for your ethos and erudite elucidation on your mission. Great thinkers not only wander the halls of their own conceptual infrastructure, they act; they live their principles. Thank you for your integrity, your courage and your imagination.
Since listening to this wonderful interview with Bryan I myself feel confronted and disturbed enough by my own inertia and perhaps brave enough to question the corners, bumps and angles of my own existence.
Who am I? And what do I not know? Wow. One of the best conversations on being human I have heard in my lifetime. Thank you.
There are new altitudes for humanity made conceivable by questioning the standard model of experience. Thank you Bryan.
Rich-you're a gifted interviewer, thank you for the opportunity to get to know Bryan better. Bryan- as a physician, I admire your dedication to advancing science. This was the first time that I got to know you on a deeper level which transcends your work and your vision. That was endearing and insightful. Thank you for your authenticity and the immense vulnerability you shared.
Golden Key of life, Bryan Johnson is the Evolution of Humanity! Thank you for all your Blessing!!!
"My mind is a drunken sailor." - Rich Roll 😂💎
😂
I did like that.
I don't want to join the matrix.
I've followed Bryan Johnson's journey in health optimization and longevity across numerous interviews. However, Rich's recent podcast stands out as the most insightful and engaging conversation that I have watched to date. Unlike some interviews that skim the surface, Rich delves deeper. He explores the "why" behind Johnson's motivations, uncovering the internal drive that fuels his pursuit of optimal health. Rich's skillful questioning guides the conversation without imposing his own biases. This allows Bryan to articulate his complex ideas clearly and authentically, providing listeners with a direct window into his perspective. Well done Rich!
This is one of the most remarkable interviews I have heard. The generosity of both of you is a testimony to your love and compassion for humanity.
This found me at the right moment, that synchronicity arriving like a train on schedule.
I am excited to explore this more and am grateful to you both for each of your purposes and opening up this conversation so personably. 🙏🏼
❤ 100%
rue!, the honesty in itself is generous and inspiring
This guy is profoundly awesome.
What an incredible conversation.
Rich Roll is the greatest interviewer of all time.
Only came across Bryan about a month ago now, I was definitely intrigued and have listened to a few hours of interviews. THANK YOU Bryan. For not only openly stating and truly trying to nail down the description of where our mindset needs to be, but actually doing what can be done and speaking about the journey as a flawed human like all of us. Thank you Rich Roll for extending your hard earned clout to support such a deserved person. Best podcast I've seen in a while.
This is the deepest interview with Bryan I’ve ever seen. ❤
This was a great interview that showed the human side of Bryan and gave me a much better understanding of him and his work. Not what I expected. I agree with so many of his ideas and would be happy to have a guy like him as a friend.
This interview is the best of Bryan that I have seen! Rich reveals how skilled he is as an interviewer.
I agree 100%
I just met Brian through this awesome podcast. He and I share a trauma. My kids also saved me from suicide. This fact only increased my respect for this man. He is in my opinion the bravest pioneer this planet has seen given his opposition is his fellow man. The very one he hopes to save. I will be following and supporting Brian, his team, his mission and product. Thank you for this very enlightening pod cast.

Rich Roll - Thank you for the best Bryan Johnson interview I have seen, hands down. I appreciate your openness and willingness to consider his perspective without judgement or imposing your own opinions. You asked very fair and thought provoking questions. While providing Bryan the space to feel free to express himself more deeply than on any other interview I have seen. Thanks again!
Bryan, please keep going on your journey. I personally love where you are heading and “If you build it, WE will join.”
A very unique, special and profound conversation!
I was already following Bryan on Instagram, but hadn’t had the grasp of his purpose and his overall background and context.
I loved this opportunity to know him and his work through the guidance of a Rich Roll’s mindful conversation.
It was a very nice, fluid and engaging dialogue to watch. Specially from the point of view of another society statistical “outlier”!
I’ve a very nice and diverse group of friends and family, I know the struggles of standing out by having different choices in life.
It’s so much easier when I’m in a like-minded group of people, all seeking lifespan extension.
Bryan does it on another level, I really appreciate the commitment and effort. Thank you both! Isabel 🇵🇹
Finally finished this in between 2 jobs, wifing and momming… Bryan Johnson if you are still reading comments THANK YOU for making everything available to the public. It really makes it clear that your primary goal is improving the trajectory of humanity and not just wealth. Our family is excited to try some of the protocol!
Wow. Rich is the translator for the misunderstood. He did this with Goggins also, helping people see past the rough edges. I’m so glad I watched this until the end (the best part). Amazing interview and such great respect and insights on both sides. I love it when people are willing to truly hear each other’s stories and see the good, even when you don’t agree on everything. Beautiful.
How lucky are we that this guy exists today. Giving all of this information away. Possibly changing the game in the most profound way. Thank you so much Bryan. You’re a true pioneer and a truly good person.
I wish him the best in his endeavor. Good for him for sharing what he's learning. I look to see what positive findings can come out of his efforts. Please keep us posted.
Crap I got to the end and realized - there's "product" 😢 There is always always something for sale.
Rich sells products and takes sponsorship. That doesn't mean that Bryan's endeavor is compromised. It also doesn't necessarily mean that Rich is compromised... There are good ways to do business. There are ways to monetize without giving up your integrity.
Unless you are a monk or nun, or someone else privileged enough to avoid money entirely, you must engage the field of commerce. The best you can do is navigate that world skillfully. 🙏💪🏼❤️
I have been following Bryan since the beginning of his project and absolutely admire his way of thinking, purpose, and generosity. Excellent interview! Thank you both so much! 🙏
Bryan seems like a total sweetheart! Takes a lot of fortitude and vulnerability to be him, I'm guessing. Compassion and love for all of existence. What a power pair in this conversation. Thanks to both of you.
He's not a sweetheart...he is egocentric, money obsessed, and power hungry.
Brian is truly an amazing human being. He is willing to do the work that no one out there is willing to do to improve the life of humanity. I will continue following his progress and continue to integrate his protocols, at least the ones I can afford , into my life. Thank you Brian for improving the quality of my life.
Never heard of Bryan and happy for it! Allowed me to listen with no prejudices that I guess many people have. Bryan, you do you! Rich, you’re amazing at having these conversations with no underlying angle and a genuineness that allows the guest to express themselves without threat. Thankyou both♥️
This has to be one of the most insightful, thought-provoking podcasts I've ever listened to. I'm so impressed by how much thought, research and care Bryan has put into his blueprint protocol and by his vulnerability and honesty. I eat a whole food, plant-based diet, don't drink alcohol or caffeine and go to bed every night at 8:30pm. Because of this, I find it's so hard to socialize or even attend work-related functions. I have to eat in advance and constantly explain why I'm not eating. People think I'm weird or have an eating disorder. I can't imagine how difficult it is for Bryan to stick to this lifestyle and I'm grateful for the sacrifice this entails. I hope he inspires the world to follow his lead
This is going to be interesting.
Edit: I listened to the whole episode, and I'm impressed. This was such a great conversation, and I really enjoyed everything Bryan Johnson shared. I wish him the best and looking forward to seeing his discoveries and achievements there. It's an exciting mission.
Don’t Die Bryan! I have followed you since the beginning of time if anything was to happen to you I feel my life would have no reason anymore it’s really weird it’s like you are in charge of my life now and blueprint IS the future of mankind , I can not thank you enough for doing what you have and continue to do for us humans ….Thankyou and thanks rich for your amazing podcast
I love the Gratitude of Bryan. really cool. thanks to both of you.
This is the most well spoken and intelligent podcast host I have ever watched 👏🏼
Bryan, when you discussed your religious upbringing, and how that brought you to distrust all authority, I I could’ve completed your sentences for a few minutes of this podcast. I share a similar experience. Glad you turned that into a quest for facts-based knowledge and a genuine desire to solve humanity’s greatest unresolved problem. I will be following your journey. I hope you succeed!!
He was raised in a cult, not religion, and religions have factual information, everyone is a religious it’s a fact including you right now.
Excellent conversation. I'm 56. Woke up one morning in early July 2023 and decided its time to turn around the way I've treated my body for the 20 years prior. Today, I'm down 43 pounds - working towards my goal of 170 pounds, and have added muscle. Intermittent fasting, better diet, supplements, and weight lifting have got me there, so far. There are a lot of cool things coming with technology and AI, so "don't die", resonates.
Wow! Rich, this is your best podcast to date - and I’m a long term listener. Thank you for the thoughtful questions and respectful treatment of a lot of challenging content.
Bryan, you are an inspiration. What you’re attempting is amazing. I’m a 58YO guy who has just quit the corporate world (my own tech services business) to become a musician. I think people think I’m strange and I think I am too 😅.
I have been looking at your protocols so I can have a healthy and productive 3rd act. and have already made some changes. My wife is a leader in the yoga. somatics world so she’s supportive. If you ever get to sydney please come say hi. In the meantime I won’t die.
Imagine Bryan Johnson was an academic, using grants from tax money to do the research, publishing the results in a non-public access journal (i.e., $$$ for subscription), and founding a company with the goal of being acquired by pharma ($$$$$$) - he is none of this. I was judgemental about him boefore, but after giving it a thought, I like and respect him.
This is a fascinating discussion. I have a new respect for Bryan and his motives. Thanks Rich!
Right?!!!
Me too
This is the most fascinating podcast episode I've ever listened to, bar none, and I've listened to a whole lot of episodes from many different podcasts over the years. I'd never heard of Bryan before this. What a shame. Apart from the specifics of his quest, I feel like I got to know Bryan and am now even more keen to get know him better. His honesty, authenticity and vulnerability all came through thanks to Rich's interviewing skills. Bryan, you're a very special person. If you're ever in Toronto, I'd love to go for a walk or meet for dinner at 11am. Keep being you and thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I think Bryan is getting better at refining his points. Distilling them down to their simplest form and adding better analogy's.
Best interview I’ve ever seen. Bryan is the new philosopher and scientist we all need. Someone with new ideas that can truly transform and improve human and animal life as well as the life of our planet. I’m so excited for what he’s doing and going to do! Thanks for this Rich!
We will all get old and we all will die. Some age slower some faster. Rich is a great interviewer. I'm a follower of Buddhism for many years now. No judgement here just let him go on this path until he can't.
I've been following Bryan for quite a long time now with great interest. I'm on my second listen through this interview right now. This is by far the most relatable and best in depth explanation as to why Bryan is doing what he does. Rich is a fantastic interviewer and Bryan is truly going where no one has gone before. I'm a 62 year old woman trying to implement Blueprint slowly (as best I can financially) and I love the science and philosophy behind it. The idea that I often do not have my own best interests at heart resonates so well with me. And I really loved the evidence here that it is never too late. Now if I could only get my 18 year old son to give me some plasma.
I was hoping you’d have him on the show! IMO, there is no better interviewer out there for this. Thanks Rich and Bryan! Listening now…
One of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. So genuine and open and informative. Just the perfect combination
My mind is a drunken sailor too!!! I also fired my evening self a year ago😅 This was the best interview I have listened to with Bryan . Thank you Rich. To Bryan , I’m looking forward to checking out the products when they come out. So far I’ve been able to do the “poor man” version of blueprint for the last couple years while working as a hair and makeup artist in the film industry. We work crazy hours and live in a crazy world , so if I can do it , others will and can too.
I didn't listen to this right away because I've listened to 10 other podcasts with Brian on them. By far, this is the best interview I've seen with him so far. Rich, you are a treasure. What Brian is doing truly is fascinating.
Wow, both of you were humble, curious and vulnerable. I’ve been following Bryan’s journey for about a year and felt his emotional and generous connection to Project Blueprint. What a privilege to listen to your dialogue, and I definitely want an invite to that dinner!
How beautiful conversation.
Thank you so much, Rich and Bryan.
Dear Bryan, Many ladies will be so proud and happy to be your partner.
What you are doing for humanity is invaluable. I am ready to make the shift and follow you.
You got a new soldie❤r❤ ❤
Like the interviewer, I used to dismiss Bryan's initiatives as massive cash grabs, but having listened to him a bunch of times, I now think he is right!
When I turned vegan some 8 years ago, my mission was to live long enough, with enough energy and vigour to see through my son’s growth. My tune changed slightly with the acknowledgment that animals needed to be fought for and protected. I’m now adding a new dimension: Do not die!
Bryan is a fascinating individual, I’m inspired to try out The Blueprint.
Bryan’s humility speaks volumes. This was such a phenomenal interview, and kept me engaged through its entirety. Bryan’s direct and clear vision extracted the very best of Rich, who is already a brilliant speaker and interviewer. The conversation flowed naturally because they both came ready to dive deeply, and push conversational boundaries. I’ve been listening to Rich for years, but this is an exceptionally good interview from the RR Pod.
Truly the most amazing podcast with Bryan that he has ever been on. It went on so many deep levels that other interviewers simply don't go that it is hard to describe the rollercoaster of emotions I felt watching it. And, surprisingly, I think Bryan's message was the clearest in this interview. I can't pin point the exact reason but it could have been the genuineness of these 2 spectacular human beings brought into a beautiful connection and creating this conversation that was more down the line of a psychedelic experience rather than a simple conversation.
One of the best, the most enlightening and the most admirable conversations I recently have listened to. Thanks a lot!
I was just blown away with this interview. I need to rewatch it because my mind needs to consume all of the things Bryan is saying. He is way ahead of his time.
I love this man. Blessing for humanity in so many ways.
One of the best Bryan Johnson interviews. Credit of the interview goes to Rich for asking meaningful and insightful questions so that Bryan can explain why he is doing what he is doing. Most interviews go into what Bryan is doing but Rich understands Bryan and goes deeper into the thought and philosophy that makes Bryan Johnson the person he has become. Excellent job Rich.
It's the best interview ever. Thank you both.
An Bryan, thanks for the invitation...I'm in Don't Die 👍
Bryan should really focus on promulgating the philosophy behind his approach. I never expected that a public figure will also share a lot of my own world view. It is really amazing to see that and gives me even more confidence for the future.
Number 1 priority, having enough money to live. Money for food, housing. Top of mind is always survival.
This might be the best conversation I've ever listened to.
Amazing conversation and guest - awesome job, Rich
Bryan Johnson, you are a gift to humanity and possibly a limitless possibility to go beyond the expected limitations of our living. I have watched your interviews on various podcasts. This is the best. So much to learn and think about while watching you talk. So much negativity about what you do also reminds me about how so much vulgar abuses were thrown at me when I published a book about my own childhood experiences and traumas. The book was published in my native language Punjabi 2 years back but I still haven't recovered from the blames and abuses. Your attitude about taking the criticism so lightly is giving me strength to get over it. Thank you so much !! And thanks to Rich Roll for having this brilliant podcast.
This is really, really exciting! Thank you for being an innovator and for sharing your experiments publicly. It’s all so fascinating. I almost dismissed this episode and I’m so glad I didn’t. ❤️
I used to think BJ was weird and didn’t think much else of him. My mind warmed up to him on a previous interview, I think it was Diary of a CEO. But THIS podcast shows somewhat of how his philosophy formed. Of course Rich Roll is the only interviewer who could elucidate this information from Mr. Johnson. I’m SO excited about this idea of hacking our physiology and our bio-world to include sustainable energy, environmental science, health and wellbeing. I can see his take on history and technology and I am tickled by DONT DIE. Wow, I would like to try assisted democratic biology. And I think God, Allah, the cosmos is bringing this information to us in the form of idea and consciousness. I love the technical holistic biological physiological approach to don’t die and don’t kill. Don’t kill each other, don’t kill our planet, don’t act in destructive ways. ✌️ Hey , if you need a similar aged female to blueprint- I will do it! Thank you for your innovative, rigorous evolution of our species.
Nowadays, I rarely comment on TH-cam but for this one I had to do it. Rich, this is probably one of the best conversations I've seen you have on the podcast. Thank you for such an amazing and informative episode.
I have probably watched every Bryan Johnson interview and this is undoubtedly the best one I have seen. I appreciated the depths you were able to reach. I now think a lot about AI and also believe that we have already lost the agency that is so often collectively assumed. As Mo Gawdat puts it, we will be equivalent to the intelligence of a fly in comparison to AI by 2049. It is scary to step into the unknown but it is waste of time to agonize about it. The only chance we have is to align our values with a greater good that goes beyond ourselves. I am grateful for the call to higher consciousness that Bryan exemplifies. It truly gives me hope and has empowered me to make meaningful change in my own life.
This was a very deep interview and I appreciate Brain very much for doing this, what an incredible human being. The human potential is in my opinion so big that there are no limits to reach 500 years and beyond.
At about an hour in I got a real sense of the depth of the thinking behind this system, and behind Brian himself. This isn't just about health and longevity - this is about elevating ourselves to being the best versions of humans we can be. That he calls for what is currently culturually highly counter-intuitive - to abdicate some of our liberty, our responsibility - makes this some seriously unique thinking, especially in Western orthodox philosophy. I am simultaneously fascinated and inspired by this thinking. This could be the revolution we need - based on the acceptance that we are not the best that we can be, that we can be better, and that being better is predicated on the humble admission we would do better to outsource a good deal of our thinking and strategising to something that already is, on many measures, far better at it than we are. I can't wait to see the Earth Blueprint - not to mention the really tough one, the Humanity Blueprint. Can we align? All 8 billion of us? Can we all share the same priorities? Deeply interesting question.
You must talking about Christianity ?
@@GreatMij I am most assuredly NOT talking about Christianity - or indeed, any religion. I take your point about outsourcing and abdicating liberty in the name of something greater - but I'm also talking about a system (Brian's) which has actual, real-world effects. Prayer and supplication, so far as I know, have no such effect.
Keep going Bryan...you're very inspirational!!
A very unique, special and profound conversation!
I was already following Bryan on Instagram, but hadn’t had the grasp of his purpose and his overall background and context.
I loved this opportunity to know him and his work through the guidance of a Rich Roll’s mindful conversation.
It was a very nice, fluid and engaging dialogue to watch. Specially from the point of view of another society statistical “outlier”!
I’ve a very nice and diverse group of friends and family, I know the struggles of standing out by having different choices in life.
It’s so much easier when I’m in a like-minded group of people, all seeking lifespan extension.
Bryan does it on another level, I really appreciate the commitment and effort. Thank you both! Isabel 🇵🇹
What a beautiful man. My favourite comment was his answer as to why go plant based. ❤️ Bryan’s compassion, generosity and pursuit for the betterment of humanity gives one hope in this sometimes hard to navigate world. Hopefully he is not under any illusion that the pandemic and climate change is natural. Many have awakened to the forces at play who have zero intention for the betterment of humanity.
This was a great interview! Bryan is authentic and an inspiration to challenge ourselves! You have to be beyond emotional and spiritual to do something that will benefit humanity with your money! Zero definitely have has many layers. Some people can’t see beyond the scope. The blueprint is what we need for our ailing society. Most millionaires only want to increase their wealth!
The more I hear Bryan the more respect I have for him. And Rich is a national treasure. Thank you for sharing this meaningful interview!!!!
This was one of the most amazing and thought-provoking podcasts that I've ever listened to. Thank you 🙏
Bryan!
If you read this, I think you are an absolute inspiration. Keep going, you’re amazing!! Sending all the best of the best to you.
