Description

Imagine it’s 20 years from now—and life is great. What had to be true… and what do you start doing today to make that future real? In this episode, we walk through a powerful “future-back” exercise: picture your life in 2046, then reverse-engineer the choices, habits, and focus that would have to happen for you to actually get there. John shares his annual 10-year narrative built around the 5 Fs —Fitness (mind/body/spirit), Family, Friends & Community, Fun, and Financial/Professional—and why the point isn’t to “predict perfectly,” but to open the right doors on purpose . We also go deep on longevity and quality of life— healthspan vs. lifespan —including the “Centenarian Decathlon” concept: define what you want your body to be able to do in your final decade, then train for it now. And we don’t ignore reality: we talk macro uncertainty, sovereignty, and the emotional weight of trying to plan in a world that’s moving fast—then bring it back to what you can control: small steps, shedding what’s dragging you down, and building community that keeps you steady. We open with an Abundance Briefing on taxes, mortgages, space, and robotics—because the future isn’t just something you hope for… it’s something you prepare to use .
