GLP-1s may be the first real human enhancement drug. Dr. Anant Vinjamoori - longevity physician and healthtech entrepreneur - explains why GLP-1s matter far beyond weight loss, why they may be the first drug class seriously crossing into longevity medicine, and why they could be a wedge into next-gen peptides, programable biology, and AI-driven human upgrades.

Aging is fully reversible. But neither billionaires nor AI will get us there. Dr Aubrey de Grey, founder of modern longevity, explains why aging must be treated as a solvable damage problem, why modern longevity efforts are structurally misallocated, why a single breakthrough in mice could trigger a global war on aging, and what happens to society once people expect to live indefinitely. Hosted by...

Longevity biotech is America’s next trillion-dollar bet. In this exclusive interview, NFX General Partner Omri Amirav-Drory explains why solving aging, not AI, is the real deeptech revolution. From radically extending human lifespan to reversing fertility decline, Omri lays out the ABCD plan for aging, why 160 years is the next milestone, and how TechBio - computation meets biology - will transfor...

Energy abundance is the prerequisite for scaling humanity alongside AI. Terraform Industries founder Casey Handmer explains how AI datacenters are forcing massive new power buildouts, why electricity alone cannot run civilization, and how cheap solar, synthetic fuels, and reindustrialization unlock a true post-scarcity future.

Rabbit R1 was the most hyped AI device of 2024. In this exclusive interview, Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu responds to review, controversies, and critics - and previews what’s next for the Rabbit R1 AI assistant, and its signature Large Action Model (LAM), in 2025. Despite backlash from YouTubers like Coffeezilla and MKBHD, Jesse quietly shipped 30+ major updates in just 12 months, transforming the R1...

Dan Siroker, founder of Limitless AI and former Google product leader, is building the first AI wearable that actually works. While hype projects like the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1 collapse, Dan is focused on a real human challenge: memory enhancement powered by emotionally intelligent AI. In this episode, Dan breaks down why most AI wearables fail, how Limitless is building an AI memory device...

Matt Crisp is a leader in agricultural biotechnology and former CEO of Benson Hill ($BHIL), where he helped pioneer AI-driven crop design, gene editing, and nutrient-dense crops that go beyond the commodity food system. In this episode, Matt explains why food scarcity is a myth, how better crops could eliminate additives, why plant-based protein collapsed, and why agriculture is hitting its “YouTu...

Ariel Poler is one of the earliest Silicon Valley investors, with 30 years backing frontier tech. After board roles at Twitter and Strava, he became a leading investor in human augmentation, neurotech, and next-gen AI hardware. In this episode, Ariel breaks down the future of human enhancement: sensory expansion, AI-powered augmentation, exoskeletons, cognitive upgrades, digital caffeine, and the...

Eric Zhu is the 17-year-old founder of Sperm Racing, the platform turning sperm performance into a competitive sport. He went viral as the high-school kid raising millions from a bathroom cubicle and has since turned taboo biology into one of the most watched experiments on the internet. In this episode, Eric breaks down male fertility, biology-as-sport, viral engineering, and how sperm speed trac...

Humans can fly. Gravity Industries founder Richard Browning, a.k.a. the real-world Iron Man, turned a farmyard experiment into the world’s first jet suit - fusing human instinct, engineering, and jet propulsion to make human flight real. We explore how 'citizen engineers' are outpacing billion-dollar labs, why Western innovation is stagnating while China builds the future, and what it take...

Scott Novich is the founder of NeoSensory and Simbryo. With a Neuroengineering PhD from Rice, he builds frontier neurotech for sensory augmentation, neural interfaces, and human performance. In this episode, Scott reveals how new senses are built, how the brain rewires itself, and why haptics, neurotech, and AI could unlock a true AR layer on top of human perception. We explore the future of perce...

The Enhanced Games are declaring the end of “natural” sport - replacing outdated rules with biotech, AI, and performance science.
