ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A year on the road. Five continents. Thirty-nine countries. More than 100 conversations with scientists. Marek Piotrowski set out with his son to explore what it takes to live longer. One of his biggest lessons came from the relationship they built along the way.
In this episode of Transcribed, Pierre and Meronn sit down with Marek to discuss his move from marketing strategy into longevity, the lessons from their father-and-son journey, and why he believes storytelling can bring the field to a much wider audience.Marek shares his five-part map of longevity, spanning everyday habits, biohacking, radical life extension, prevention, and building a movement.
He also reflects on the difference between wanting more years in the future and making the most of life today, and explains why he sees a role for marketers, filmmakers, managers, and people working in AI alongside scientists.
