Why does your dog age in dog years while you age in human years? If that seems obvious, how about this? The oldest rat barely makes it past three.

So why does the fuzzier version, the squirrel, live a decade? Why does the naked mole rat, truly disgusting, consistently reach its 30s? Questions like these enticed researchers in the early 1990s, and eventually Susan Dominus.

It immediately grabs you kind of by the throat and makes you want to pursue answers and understand how the science works.

Susan is a reporter for the New York Times Magazine, and she has spent a lot of her life, 20 years, off and on, covering the science and the emerging business of longevity.

Put it this way, I think there are people who would say no, and it might even happen in our lifetime that that becomes a choice rather than an inevitability.

But there aren't a lot of them.

Susan Dominus of New York Times Magazine, who has covered this longevity research over decades, says she can envision, based on her reporting, a couple of other far more realistic near-term futures.

There's an optimistic one and a darker one.

And make sure you're following the podcast because Jon Gordon will be here tomorrow, Mitch Prinstein is coming up to talk about what actually makes someone popular, and later this week, we have a rather spooky conversation with John Billman about people who disappear in the wilderness.

Today's guest is Susan Dominus, a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and the author of The Family Dynamic.

She spent years looking at families that produced not just one extraordinary successful child, but several, and asking what was happening inside those homes.

It's a fascinating topic.

Here is Susan Dominus.

The new LinkedIn Hiring Pro can't undo your last hire, the no-show, who set you back because they didn't show up on day one, or day two, or ever again.

And now your product launch is delayed because you're talking to alien abduction podcasters to track them down.

My name is Jenny Yurtick.

And make sure you're following the podcast, because we have such an interesting week ahead.

Susan Dominus is coming up.

Jon Gordon is here.

We're talking with Mitch Prinstein about what actually makes someone popular, and later this week, John Billman takes us inside the mystery of people who disappear in the wilderness.

Time and proximity and real life.

So this week, keep going, keep tracking, keep choosing the real stuff.

And I'll be back tomorrow with Susan Dominus.

She spent years looking at a fascinating question: why do some families produce not just one extraordinary, successful child, but several? What was happening inside those homes? Make sure you're following so you don't miss it.

Jon Gordon joins us to talk about the energy we bring into the room.

Susan Dominus tackles the fascinating question of why some families produce not just one extraordinarily successful child, but several.

She went looking at families with multiple high-achieving siblings to find out what was happening inside those homes.

Plus, Michael Keller on Sunday, and Ryan Wilson on Friday.

And it was kind of like women are the college graduates.

I think Susan Dominus at the time wrote a piece maybe two or three years ago that was about college.

Colleges are now like.

recruiting young men that there are not as many you know the kind of jobs that women sort of gravitate towards health care um maybe more like social sciences stuff that that men aren't into like do you think that some of this is you know that we should be worried about all these guys who are just kind of

But like we think about the proliferation of that and the way that risky behaviors are have kind of taken over and have started to govern the way young men conduct themselves in a way that companies weren't really able to access before.

Like I just feel like male brains are just being like literally fried from the time they're teenagers and then by the time their frontal lobes are done developing like –

Yeah, I mean I think this was this Susan Dominus article I read a couple years ago, but there was this – or she did some sort of podcast interview about it.

But like the idea that from the time – I think you're right about boys kind of being – like being more into video games or sort of like that's the sort of social culture they get into.

I would like to get to Ray Gordon.

So Ray Gordon has an article from the New York Times and it is on a new therapy that has the potential to cure hundreds of diseases and even reverse aging by Susan Dominus.

Ray Gordon, please, thank you.

Thank you.

Then Parton gave the movement a boost and an anthem.

By Susan Dominus Before a script for the movie 9 to 5 even existed, when it was still just a vague concept for a story about female office workers, Jane Fonda had a lightning bolt moment about how to cast it.

She was in the car listening to the radio when a Dolly Parton song came on.

Immediately, as Fonda later recalled on the podcast Dolly Parton's America, an image popped into her head.

We had more investor interest once investors realized, um, the lucrative, um, demographic that menopausal women were.

And I think a turning point, um, happened in twenty twenty-three with the publication of this article in The New York Times from the journalist Susan Dominus, entitled Women Have Been Misled About Menopause.

Um, this is a very well-written article.

If you haven't read it, it's a really interesting and, uh, well-researched, um, chronicle about what happened from the WHI and then the fallout in the years later and what happened in menopausal women healthcare.
