SEPTEMBER EUROPEAN LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES ARE COMING

We are in Ikaria from September 8-14 and Sardinia from September 16-22. Click the links for all the details. 

Today we’re talking about breaking the so-called "rules" of sleep and discovering true fulfillment through social connection, laughter, and a more fluid lifestyle. 

Drawing insights from almost a decade of travelling to the Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia, we explore why happiness and longevity often come from embracing flexibility, meaningful relationships, and letting go of rigid routines — even if it means sacrificing a perfect sleep score.

In this lively chat we dive into the importance of physical vitality, community, and starting exactly where you are on your health and longevity journey - no matter your age or current ability. 

 

From celebrating personal milestones in strength training to powerful lessons learned on the golf course with friends, we highlight how combining movement with social connection amplifies the experience of growing older with purpose and zest. 

 

We celebrate listener wins, insights from longevity role models, and reflect on our own approaches—biases and all—toward living a fulfilling, vital life. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for renewed motivation, this episode will remind you: it’s never too late to start; and always too early to stop. 

 

We are back in Europe in September for our Longevity Experiences to the Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia!

This week it’s all about the social, including the challenges and joys of context shifting in work and life, and the importance of being present with the people around us. 



After a heavy travel load, we share personal stories from event-filled weeks, discuss the importance of career fulfillment as a way to manage and appreciate the differences in people, and reflect on the role relationships and appreciation play in longevity and happiness. 



And as you may have heard, we are going back to the Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia in September. To find out more about joining us, head to 100notout.com

Embracing Spontaneity: How Aging Attitudes and Travel Plans Are Changing in 2026

 

Today’s conversation dives into the ever-evolving landscape of planning. 

On the back of the announcement that we are going back to Europe in September to run two Longevity Experiences (click here for Ikaria and here for Sardinia), we discuss how this never would have happened back in 2019. 

Long haul travel and spontaneity have rarely gone hand in hand. And global shifts—like the aftermath of COVID-19 and changes in consumer sentiment — are transforming not only the way we travel but the way we live our lives.

Gone are the days of 10 year visions and planning long haul trips 12 months in advance. We don’t know what’s happening in 6 months let alone 12, and as a result, we are determined to “live each day as if it’s our last” perhaps today more than ever.

18:31 Wellness trends and longevity aspirations

In this episode, the conversation gets personal. Marcus opens up about his experience with scoliosis - both in himself and his daughter - and reflects on the ongoing balance between rehabilitation, strength, and self-care. Together, the hosts explore how to prioritize different areas of health and wellness when time and energy are limited, the significance of addressing small issues before they grow, and how even short daily habits can have a big impact. Using vivid analogies and real-life stories, they remind listeners that maintenance and prevention are the true keys to living a vibrant, healthy life—no matter your age.

 

In other news, we are running FOUR Longevity Experiences this year. 

Sardinia July 16-22
