implement in their life? What are some of the skincare protocols
that Bryan incorporates?

Bryan Johnson is the world's most measured human. Johnson sold
his company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Since
then, he's been investing millions to slow and reverse his aging.
In 2021, he set a World Record by reducing his epigenetic age by
5.1 years in 7 months. His program Project Blueprint is an
endeavor to help people take better care of themselves. 


Bryan Johnson discusses how he went from physically unwell to
where he is today, aging slower than a 10 year old, his current
protocol and Project Blueprint, our normalized destructive
behaviors, how he “fired” himself for the sake of his health, his
skin health routine, the future of technology, and more. 


“Wouldn’t it be possible for you and I to have an imagination of
ourselves if we said ‘Okay, David, what are you and I in 20
years?’ What if we could assume better instead of inevitable
decay? How would that change the way we approach life, work with
each other, deal with each other, what effect would it have on
humanity?” 


“Could I build an algorithm that would take better care of me
than I could myself and could we attach ourselves to the progress
curves of technology and science so that you and I can say ‘What
do you and I look like in 20 years? We don’t know, but
better.’” 


“It’s reasonable to think that the things we’re doing like
prioritizing sleep, eating vegetables, limiting caloric intake,
are things that other humans will do well with.” 


“How many times in the past week have we eaten too much food, the
wrong kind of food, have we not prioritized seep, have we drank
too much, smoked, or whatever your vices are, just in the past
week. Do an accounting of that and say, what is my load of self
destructive behaviors? That to me is the most significant
opportunity for improvement.” 


“I just want an algorithm to take care of my health and wellness,
I know my own mind, if I give my own mind the smallest
opportunity to make a decision, it’s going to make the wrong
decision every single time. I just cannot trust myself, I know
this.” 


“Talent is the ability to hit the target no one else can. Genius
is the ability to hit the target no one else can see.”


“The difference between hope and despair is a good night’s sleep.
When I have a good night’s sleep, everything feels possible. When
I have a discouraging night’s sleep, everything feels
challenging.”
