• Peter Diamandis Reveals How Close We Are to Practical Immortality

  Peter Diamandis is a visionary entrepreneur, futurist, and longevity advocate helping humanity extend its healthspan and thrive in an era of exponential change. He is the founder of the XPRIZE Foundation, Singularity University, and Abundance360. In this episode, we dive into what Peter calls the "longevity mindset"—a way of thinking that replaces fear with purpose, and scarcity with abundance. He explains why we may reach longevity escape velocity by 2030, how AI is revolutionizing diagnostics, and what it will take to close the gap between lifespan and healthspan for everyone.With the upcoming semifinalists being announced, we also explore Peter’s most ambitious initiative yet: The $101 million Healthspan XPRIZE, a global competition launched by the XPRIZE Foundation aiming to reverse biological aging and extend healthy years of life by at least 20 years, with 603 teams already racing toward this moonshot.Expect to learn:What it really means to reach longevity escape velocity—and why it could happen this decadeThe mindset shifts that add not just years to your life, but vitality to your yearsHow Peter is mobilizing 603 global teams to reverse aging through the Healthspan XPRIZEThe reason most of us self-limit our lifespans—and how to break freeWhy optimism and purpose are two of the strongest predictors of longevityHow AI is accelerating biological breakthroughs faster than ever imaginedWhy Peter believes aging is the biggest disease of all—and one we can overcome📸 Instagram: @beyondtomorrowpodcast | @peterdiamandis🌍 Website: www.diamandis.com | www.xprize.org📩 Email: [email protected]🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa📍 Subscribe to The Beyond Tomorrow Podcast with Julian Issa for more conversations shaping your future.Timestamps:0:00 Intro2:06 Finding purpose: Why Peter was born3:45 Peter’s four “Massive Transformative Purposes”6:12 What is longevity escape velocity?9:10 The case for living to 150+12:45 Why the next decade will transform aging15:20 What the Healthspan XPRIZE is really aiming for18:22 AI’s role in reversing aging and saving lives21:00 How Fountain Life is creating 200GB health uploads25:00 Gene therapy, affordability, and access28:00 Common pushbacks: overpopulation, boredom, inequality32:00 Why optimism adds 15% to your lifespan35:00 What Peter teaches his children about the future38:00 Mindsets that matter: exponential, abundance, purpose41:00 Daily habits and mental frameworks for longevity44:00 Education, AI, and the future of learning47:00 2030: A world with humanoid robots and extended healthspans50:00 How to get involved with XPRIZE51:30 Closing thoughts
