VanessaHOST
Nassima Oh, that you're buying the island, yeah
AbbyHOST
No, no, no. Naveen Jain, Jane, he is a billionaire and a former CEO, so his family owns it.
AbbyHOST
So it, it's just, like, very interesting.
AbbyHOST
I feel like that would be, like, a interesting rabbit hole to kinda go down and just kind of an understanding of how that family became wealthy.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
Yeah, absolutely.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
And of course, there are subtle nuances, right? You could probably have a couple shots of whiskey when you wake up for breakfast and chain smoke cigarettes and have plenty of community and friends and faith, and you might not live a long time.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
But the idea that once you isolate from most confounding variables, including fitness, diet, et cetera, the quality and volume of love and relationships in your life still trumps everything.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
I mean, that's Harvard's longest running study on longevity.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
I would say it's probably somewhere in the realm of 30% lifestyle factors, right? Your supplements, your diet, your biohacks, et cetera, and probably 70%.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
the, shall we say, natural, free, easily accessible lifestyle and spirit-based practices.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
And the only reason that I say it's probably about a 30-70 split is that, as I know you're very well aware of, because you've even done events in places like Sardinia, if you look at a lot of these locations where there are centenarians or a disproportionately high number of people who live beyond 100 years they aren't doing a lot of red light beds and hyperbaric chambers and stem cell therapies and plasmapheresis but they are outside a lot they're in nature a lot they're typically eating food that your great grandparents would have recognized they're around people many of them have a faith-based practice uh often that faith-based practice involves elements of fasting or caloric restriction or certain times of the year that there might be protein restriction And once we put all of that together, like if you told me I had to go to a desert island and choose to bring the hyperbaric chamber and the red light and all the supplements or choose to bring a few friends, right, and some sunshine and maybe a nice blanket that I can get some good sleep in and some good food, I'd totally choose the latter.
Ben GreenfieldGUEST
So Ben Greenfield owns
JV Crum IIIHOST
Yeah, I wanna interject something here, um, because what you just brought up is so important.
JV Crum IIIHOST
I'm gonna reference another guest we've had, Naveen Jain.
JV Crum IIIHOST
He's been on the show several times.
JV Crum IIIHOST
Worth about 10 billion, so I think his ideas might be worth listening to.
Yasmin GagneHOST
Tell me.
Ainsley HarrisGUEST
Yes, [chuckles] founded by, um, Naveen Jain, who, um, is-
Yasmin GagneHOST
Oh, yeah
Ainsley HarrisGUEST
... yes, happens to be a serial entrepreneur.
Brian CheeHOST
In 2015, you were standing on the noble stage talking about how sometime in the near future, experts would one day work with learning and reasoning machines to come up with solutions and answers to human illness.
Brian CheeHOST
Then fast forward, not even two years later, in January of 2017, you had what you called a sleepless night after meeting with Naveen Jain, the founder and CEO of IOM.
Brian CheeHOST
Walk me through that epiphany and what happened there.
Brian CheeHOST
What was sleepless about it and what was so inspiring that it made you walk away from Watson's?
Rick JordanGUEST
I mean, taking them on trips with me to meet large characters.
Rick JordanGUEST
Like my 11-year-old at the time was talking with Naveen Jain, who is a billionaire.
Rick JordanGUEST
Watching fireworks, it was us with Naveen Jain and Dave Asprey from Bulletproof, right? Watching fireworks in, in Bellevue, Washington, and he's sustaining a conversation, you know [laughs] with...
Rick JordanGUEST
Even to the point to where Naveen is like, "I didn't know they could be that coherent at, at that age." And it's like, but it's exposure, Larry, and that's the thing.
Rick JordanGUEST
And then when you look at, like, you talk about, like, my track record and everything, I've intentionally exposed myself to so many different aspects, whether it was law enforcement or security or sales or even was the first Geek Squad agent in Chicago, or just doing, uh, RadioShack, right? And that was just business related, even though it was, right, a tech firm, but I wanted to be a manager, and for manager training, they taught you how to read PNLs because you were bonused as a store manager off of your net income.
