Bryan Johnson is the world's most measured human. Johnson sold his company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Since then, he's been investing millions to slow and reverse his aging. In 2021, he set a World Record by reducing his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months. His program Project Blueprint is an endeavor to help people take better care of themselves. 

Bryan Johnson discusses how he went from physically unwell to where he is today, aging slower than a 10 year old, his current protocol and Project Blueprint, our normalized destructive behaviors, how he “fired” himself for the sake of his health, his skin health routine, the future of technology, and more. 

“Wouldn’t it be possible for you and I to have an imagination of ourselves if we said ‘Okay, David, what are you and I in 20 years?’ What if we could assume better instead of inevitable decay? How would that change the way we approach life, work with each other, deal with each other, what effect would it have on humanity?” 

“Could I build an algorithm that would take better care of me than I could myself and could we attach ourselves to the progress curves of technology and science so that you and I can say ‘What do you and I look like in 20 years? We don’t know, but better.’” 

“I just want an algorithm to take care of my health and wellness, I know my own mind, if I give my own mind the smallest opportunity to make a decision, it’s going to make the wrong decision every single time. I just cannot trust myself, I know this.”
