Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Bryan Johnson to discuss how he’s slowed his pace of aging to that of an average 10-year-old, how he’s optimized over 50 biomarkers, and why he feels the future of humanity is in desperate need of a new operating system.

Bryan Johnson is the most measured man in human history. He’s on a quest with his Blueprint framework to reverse his biological age and show others how they can do the same. Bryan founded Blueprint to create a world where humans and technology seamlessly collide to level up human potential by leveraging advanced neuroscience, machine learning, and engineering.

Johnson is also the founder and CEO of Kernel, creator of the world’s first mainstream noninvasive neuroimaging system, and OS Fund, an investment firm that focuses on backing entrepreneurs who are leveraging breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics, space exploration, and other frontier technologies. He is also an outdoor adventure enthusiast, pilot, and author of children’s books Code 7 and The Proto Project.
