Peter Diamandis: How to Harness the Power of Mindset in The Longevity Guidebook

I've done about a dozen podcasts in the past few years about anti-aging and longevity. Some great episodes with Brian Johnson (who spends $2 million a year trying to reverse his aging) and Peter Diamandis, who co-wrote Life Force. But Peter just did something incredible.

He wrote The Longevity Guidebook, which is basically the ultimate summary of everything we know about anti-aging. He knows everything there is to know on the subject. He’s even sponsoring a $101 million XPRIZE for reversing aging, with 600 teams competing, so he has direct insight into the best, cutting-edge research.

In this episode, we break down longevity strategies into three categories: common sense (stuff you already know), unconventional methods (less obvious but promising), and the future (what’s coming next). And honestly, some of it is wild—like whether we can reach "escape velocity," where science extends life faster than we age.

Peter’s book lays out exactly what’s possible, what we can do today, and what’s coming. So let’s get into it.

Bitcoin Set For $150 Billion Inflow As Trump Pushes Sovereign Fund

Bitcoin could see unprecedented capital inflows ranging from $150 billion to $500 billion as President Trump signed an executive order this week mandating the creation of a new sovereign wealth fund. 

The initiative—which did not explicitly reference BTC during its announcement—will be helmed jointly by US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, both vocal supporters of Bitcoin.

The US sovereign wealth fund (SWF) is expected to be created within the next 12 months. Although official details remain sparse, there is speculation that the nascent fund could include digital assets due to Lutnick and Bessent's view on the matter.

For now, the global BTC market watches and waits, aware that even a modest allocation from the incoming US sovereign wealth fund could reshape the landscape —and possibly herald a new wave of institutional participation worldwide.

US Firm Unveils Plan for 100,000-Strong Humanoid Robot Army To Counter China

Figure AI announced that it had signed its second major commercial partner, bringing the dream of humanoid robots from labs into everyday life closer than ever. CEO Brett Adcock said the deal might make it possible to ship 100,000 humanoid robots over the next four years.

While details of the new customer remain under wraps, Adcock claims it is “one of the biggest U.S. companies,” spurring immediate speculation that it could be a large retailer or technology enterprise with significant labor needs.

The company’s first publicly named client is automotive giant BMW, which signed on late last year. The latest announcement sets the stage for what could be a significant step toward mainstream adoption of humanoid robots, especially in large-scale operations like manufacturing, logistics, or healthcare.

Players like Agility Robotics, Tesla’s Optimus project, Unitree, Apptronik, Sanctuary AI, and Agibot are all scrambling to secure footholds in this emerging market. In December 2024, China's Zhiyuan Robotics, also known as Agibot, showcased its capacity to produce 1,000 humanoid robots by year’s end.
