In this powerful milestone episode of RAADCast, I’m joined by two pioneers and dear friends, Dr. Aubrey de Grey and James Strole, as we celebrate 10 incredible years of RAADfest. Together, we reflect on how what began in 2016 has grown into a global movement that’s breaking barriers, shifting paradigms, and redefining what’s possible when it comes to aging.

We talk about the science, the soul, and the shared vision that have fueled this journey—and why the road ahead in 2025 and beyond demands even deeper collaboration. Because when innovation, inspiration, and advocacy align, we create real momentum toward longevity escape velocity.

This episode is an invitation: to see aging not as fate, but as a frontier we’re meant to cross—together.
