Kara Swisher joins Scott Galloway to discuss her new CNN Original Series Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever — and what she uncovered about the billion-dollar longevity industry. They explore why tech elites are obsessed with living forever, how trends like peptides and biohacking took off, and why most of it is noise. Plus, what actually works: the simple, unsexy factors that matter most for living longer, and why wealth and access may be the biggest advantages of all.
