In this episode I talk with longevity expert Marcus Pearce about the formula to a great long life. Marcus has interviewed dozens of healthy, happy older people including many centurions and holocaust survivors to delineate what the key aspects are in living a great long life. Marcus has also spent time living in one of the ‘Blue Zones’ Ikaria (a little greek island) known as the island where people forget to die.
This is a fun and very informative chat where we talk about what Marcus learned from living amongst one of the healthiest cultures on the planet and also what surprised him! We draw on this experience and the dozens of interviews he has conducted to tease out what the 8 step formula is for a great long life – not to be mistaken for a long life (there is a difference and we talk about this too!). Learn how through life his perception of healthy has changed dramatically and why he re-wrote the script for his life.
If you want to live and great long life this is a must listen!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
