A Good, Long Podcast: Lessons for a Good, Long Life Ronan Levy

Sanjay Singhal is an entrepreneur who filed for personal bankruptcy at 31 and later sold Audiobooks.com for $56 million in 2016. This venture capitalist, author, and restaurateur has really done it all.

Today he focuses on philanthropy after creating the Nikean Foundation in 2019 to fund mental health research, focusing on novel psychedelic therapies.

Now at 58 years old he has started a popular blog SanjaySays.co where he passes on all of his life lessons and raw unfiltered thoughts.

Chris Van Loan II is a video marketer, content strategist, and he also just so happens to be the producer of this show.

In my life I have never met anyone so committed to the craft of podcasting or someone who believes so fervently in the power of podcasts to move a generation and raise consciousness.

We talk in this episode about relaunching the show as A Good Long Podcast, how the medium is changing, and how to grow your audience without sacrificing your ethics and remaining true to yourself.

What is this feeling of “awe” and what role does it play in our lives?

Dacher Keltner is the Founding Director of the Greater Good Science Center, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life.

He is also the scientific advisor behind Pixar’s Inside Out & Inside Out 2!

I brought Dacher on the podcast because for much of my life I cut myself off from feeling the full depth of my emotions and he’s spent much of his life studying how we can understand and practice tapping into all that life has to offer emotionally.

In this episode you’ll learn how you can create more awe and wonder in your own life to live a richer experience in your good, long life.

This episode touches on something that honestly scares the living daylights out of me, and that is getting cancer at a ridiculously young age.

So why would I start the first official new episode of this podcast about longevity talking about early onset cancer?

When you hear Florence Shaffer’s story about the diagnosis giving her clarity and finding direction and meaning in the impermanence of life, you’ll understand.

Florence is a technology executive who has worked all over the world in beauty, luxury fashion, automotive, film, real estate, construction, healthcare and hospitality.
Her wide ranging experiences have led her to launch a new company called Becoming (StartBecoming.co) which focuses on the intersection between humanity and technology by making the world’s experts in various holistic wellness fields accessible to the masses.

This is one you won’t want to miss!
