100 Not Out

On this episode we kick things off with a (hopefully) humorous and relatable story about early morning flights, canceled plans, and the realities of travel. As we reminisce about our recent Melbourne meetup, the conversation quickly turns to a deeper theme: the many different paths we can take in life and longevity.

Marcus uses his airport ordeal as a metaphor to explore the idea that there’s never just one "right" way to approach ...

In today’s discussion, inspired by a provocative Instagram post from Dave Asprey, the duo explores the peculiar claim linking frequency of male ejaculation to health and longevity. As they dissect the math and the motivations behind these claims, Marcus and Dr. Damien grapple with the broader implications: Are social media and the digital world leading us astray with confusing and clickbait longevity advice? Tune in as they unravel...

After what will be 10 years, we have made the difficult decision to bring to an end our 10 Day Longevity Experiences to the European Blue Zones of Ikaria and Sardinia. 

Not because we don’t love it, and not because it’s not a life-changing bucket list trip of a lifetime. 

More than anything, and especially given we are a podcast dedicated to time (these days called longevity), our family and business commitments outside of 100 ...

Last week’s incredible episode with Teun Toebes showed just how wrong we (or at least Marcus) had been about dementia.

After years of calling dementia the worst way to die, right at the end of the episode Teun challenged that perspective.

This young man who spent 3.5 years living in a nursing home and with people with dementia, not only taught us the power of treating older people like human beings (which sounds so obvious), but al...

Today, we are shooting over to (Netherlands) where we are joined by an incredible young man.

At just 21, after finishing his nursing degree Teun Toebes made the bold decision to move into a nursing home -, living alongside people with dementia to understand their world from the inside. His firsthand experiences have fueled his mission to break stigmas and push for a more humane, inclusive approach to aging.

He has captured his expe...

What a time we’ve had delivering 100 Not Out to you for 12 years! What started as a fringe wellness topic when we began is now a compelling conversation for millions of people around the planet. 

Ageing well and longevity is not a fad or even a trend, it’s a part of the modern human life design challenge that we all face. On this episode we share our thoughts on the future of longevity and how NOT being a part of this future is a...

In two weeks time we will be releasing our interview with Teun Toebes, award-winning film-maker who lived in two nursing homes across 3.5 years - out of choice.

At just 26, Teun is creating a tidal wave of change across the world as we question how we care for, love and support older people - particularly those with dementia.

It’s so easy to think of this about our parents or grandparents; but depending on your age and stage o...

When will ageing well become urgent?

That’s the question we pose and discuss on today’s episode.

Most people are hoping they’ll age well; yet most people believe they’ll end up in a nursing home.

We are confused and conflicted on this ageing adventure, and on this episode we discourse the intense importance of excelling at all areas of life, and not just one or two, in order to truly master the art of ageing well.

Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix has caused the resumption of a conversation that we first had on Episode 105 nearly 10 years ago.

The perception of wellness is taking a beating, and it’s all down to the behaviour of a few. In the latest instalment of the issue is Netflix’s mini series Apple Cider Vinegar, which is covering the Belle Gibson story along with the late Jess Ainscough.

Some find it unsavoury to watch, some finds it has n...

When Roger Bannister ran a sub 4-minute mile for the first time in 1954, he did what no one on planet earth had ever done before. No one believed it was possible.

And interestingly, as soon as he achieved it, running a sub 4-minute mile became suddenly achievable. His record lasted just 46 days. Today, the world record is 3 minutes 43 seconds.

So, when Damo almost cracked the 4-minute mile equivalent in his golf game recently, it s...

And now to today’s conversation. 

There’s a new term in the longevity space and it’s “Strengthspan”.

Damo has reconnected with an old friend, and it’s prompted this conversation on the importance of picking up the phone and calling those people you haven’t spoken to in years.

From bridal party members to school friends and former colleagues, there is great joy in reconnecting with people we once enjoyed so many good times with.

Life gets busy, people move and circumstances change, but the connection of times gone by always remains...

The inconvenient truth when it comes to ageing well is that it’s not our strengths that carry us into longevity well, but the strength of our weaknesses.

Think about that for a moment.

Poor health is what brings most people undone – that’s a weakness.

Poor wealth can create relative poverty – that’s a weakness.

A poor social life can lead to loneliness, which can lead to depression, which can lead to dementia – that’s a weakness.

I...

Happy New Year and welcome to our first episode of 2025!

Damo has been moving for 5+ hours per day in a very simple manner … and it’s got his muscles aching, but more importantly, his fulfilment levels are sky high.

Keep it simple – make i...
