[Ep 17] How to Reframe Aging and Live Longer | Laurent Goldstein · Age Defiantly with Mark Young

0:00
Welcome to Performance Driven Living, the podcast where we question everything.
0:05
We don't tip to around tough topics, we walk right into them, not to provoke, but to
0:11
get closer to what's real.
0:13
You might not agree with everything you hear, and that's okay.
0:17
The show isn't about being right, it's about being real.
0:20
These conversations are meant to stretch your thinking, challenge assumptions, and spark
0:25
something deeper.
0:26
The views shared are those of our guests and may not reflect those of the host or team.
0:32
And while we dive deep into health, performance, and transformation, this is not medical advice.
0:38
Talk to your doctor before making changes to your health or lifestyle.
0:42
Take what lands, leave what doesn't, but whatever you do, don't stop questioning.
0:55
We are back at the Changing Life and Destiny Conference in Plano, Texas with Performance
1:01
Driven Living, the podcast.
1:03
And I'm excited about this interview specifically, and I know I've said that a couple of times,
1:08
but there's a personal reason behind this one, that is I am here with Lauren Goldstein,
1:13
who is a film producer who's done five other documentaries, but is working on his sixth,
1:18
and I'm going to confess this, although I say it pretty freely anyways, and that is his
1:22
new documentary is actually called The Second Fifty, is that I get that name correct?
1:27
It's your second 50, you're second 50, well, it's incredibly talking to you.
1:34
You are talking to me, because I turn 50 in about two and a half months.
1:40
So the second of July, for those of you listening who want to send me something, the second
1:44
of July of 2025, I am crossing the 50 line, and I'm going to tell you what, I feel amazing.
1:51
And I actually run an email database list called fitter over 50.
1:58
And fitter over 50, I've got a huge database people, and we just put out once a week information
2:03
that truthfully is debunking what people think about what aging should be, and putting
2:11
on muscle over 50, and how you should be, how relationships are functioning over 50.
2:17
So we put out content on a weekly basis that actually taught you, can tell us a little
2:22
bit personal.
2:24
But what does that mean, and how we define aging is a problem for me.
2:30
So I'm going to, I'm going to queue up and learn more about your documentary, but I'm
2:32
going to tell you a quick story, and that is I recently changed some life insurance policies.
2:38
Okay.
2:39
So in doing so, they had to send a nurse to my office, and she showed up, and she took
2:43
my blood pressure, she took her pen, she immediately goes to her paper and says, what medications
2:49
are you on?
2:50
But and I kind of looked at her, and I went, none.
2:53
And she went, well, your blood pressure is one 10 over 72.
2:57
So just, I mean, what, I mean blood pressure meds specifically, and I went, none.
3:02
And she looked at me, and she went, well, at your age, I just assumed that you would
3:07
be on some kind of anti hypertensive.
3:09
And I went, well, at my age, my cardiovascular system is created to function the same way
3:15
it was 25 years ago.
3:16
Okay.
3:17
And I went, so I don't accept system decay as being normal.
3:22
System decay to me is an input problem, not an output problem.
3:26
And if my system starts to decay, as you call it, I need to figure out what's going on
3:31
that's causing that because there's, as whether it's environmental, nutritional, honestly,
3:38
some kind of psychological, what it's causing that system decay.
3:41
So the fact that they came and said, your second 50, and I'm like, well, I'm curious because
3:46
I want to hear about the documentary, your third 50, but that may be a little premature.
3:51
So let's talk about your second 50.
3:53
And I want you to talk to me specifically because I'm your target demo here, buddy.
3:58
Well, first of all, thank you, Mark, for that introduction.
4:02
I'm very happy to be chatting with you on this fantastic podcast, first of all.
4:06
I love what you just said because you were talking about changing perceptions on myth
4:13
around aging because you absolutely encapsulated very well the perfect example of these preconceived
4:24
mindsets that people have when it comes to aging, in particular in the traditional
4:30
western medicine model that assumes that nurse made the assumption that because you
4:36
were 50 or nearing 50, you were supposed to be on medication.
4:41
Well, I just don't 70, and I'm not taking any medication.
4:45
Good for you.
4:46
So you don't have to be on medication because you're 50 or over.
4:50
Actually, you never have to be on medication.
4:53
This is just another myth.
4:56
So I did the first film 12 years ago, your second 50, rising above the fears of aging from
5:04
a book called your second 50, which was an Amazon best seller.
5:08
I met the author of the book, his name is Frank Moffat.
5:12
We met at a client we had in common an RV dealership in Alberta, Canada, in small town.
5:19
And I started and I was introduced to him by the owner of the RV dealership and he says
5:24
Laurent, my good friend Frank is here.
5:27
You should really meet Frank is a very interesting guy.
5:30
I think you two are going to get along.
5:32
Well, that evening we were both having dinner at the cactus club restaurant in Calgary
5:38
by the airport.
5:39
We each took a napkin.
5:41
We had a napkin.
5:42
We started writing names of people we knew from this background in music and my background
5:48
in calo practice.
5:49
And we said, let's do a documentary from the book.
5:53
And the following week we were raising the money and we started filming.
5:57
So that was the first film and we filmed it in 60 countries.
6:02
We had a phenomenal cast including people like Fab Mancini, Bob Proctor, Bruce Lipton,
6:08
Naomi Judd, John DiMartini and so many amazing people.
6:13
And the film became a bit of a cult like we did a lot of events around the film and we
6:20
could see that people really resonated very well with that brand or that theme of the
6:27
second 50 if you want.
6:29
And then after that I did a music documentary with Metallica, Metallica's best player Robert
6:34
Trujillo.
6:35
I did a film on chronic pain.
6:37
So I did four other documentaries.
6:39
And now that we are 12 years after the first, your second 50, I thought that the timing
6:45
was right to do a sequel or to do a new film around the same theme.
6:52
But bringing in all the new things I have learned, the new technologies that are available
6:59
today, the new modelities, new technology, the new discoveries, I mean 12 years ago nobody
7:04
was talking about peptides, 12 years ago to talk about getting sense therapy was like,
7:11
you know, not common at all, right like therapy, a hundred percent, right like therapy
7:16
was not even close to what it is today, hyperburetic oxygen was just niche at the time, you
7:23
know, nobody really knew the biohacking term.
7:26
So all of that has changed dramatically in the last 12 years.
7:31
And also because I just turned 70, I thought it was interesting to look at that concept of
7:38
aging 12 years later.
7:41
Now you ask a very good question, you say, well, how do you define aging?
7:46
Because we keep talking about, well, you're turning 50, I just turned 70, we are only
7:51
referencing the chronological age, which is only one out of three ways of measuring age.
7:59
And I ask somebody how old they are, I try, sometimes I forget, but I try to always
8:06
qualify by asking them what is their chronological age.
8:11
Why is that important?
8:12
Because people are brainwashed to think only when it comes to aging chronologically, they
8:19
don't think about the biological age, how old are your organs and the psychological age
8:26
according to Dr. Bo Sipton with a mentor of mine and a very good friend.
8:31
Both of us said that the way you picture yourself to age, like mentally, how you think
8:39
you're going to be aging, is going to actually materialize at a biological level, at a cellular
8:45
level.
8:46
So you better have good positive thoughts on how you project yourself in the future 10
8:52
years from now.
8:53
Well, I'll give you some insight into me, because I just asked you about the documentary
8:57
your third 50.
8:58
So that gives you an idea about my psychological profile, it's interesting, you said that because
9:04
in the first film, Fab Mancini, Dr. Fab, who also is an amazing, you know, co-op actor,
9:12
healer and all that, we go back a long time, he said in the first film at some point,
9:16
he says, I'm already working on my 100-year birthday, he's already working on it, he's
9:22
being careful because he's putting in his mindset that, of course, he's going to have a 100-year
9:28
birthday.
9:29
My dad said to me recently, he said something and turning 50 and he's like, oh, what's going
9:34
on?
9:35
What are the plans?
9:36
My dad don't have plans and he's just like, well, we could throw you a party.
9:38
I'm like, no, I'm good, like I'd rather be on an adventure somewhere and he's just
9:44
like, well, I'll tell you what.
9:45
And he goes, I'm looking forward to throwing you a hundredth birthday party.
9:49
And I laughed, that's my dad planning on being there to plan my 100.
9:53
And I laughed, I'm like, I'll probably be hiking.
9:59
And he just laughed, I'm like, I don't have my 100th, I'll probably go hiking somewhere,
10:03
like I don't have any interest in the party for that.
10:05
Well, I just filmed about six months ago, while in October last year, I was filming at
10:11
the British Columbia Signals Games in British Columbia, Canada.
10:15
And one of the people we filmed is a hundred-year-old woman, her name is Betty, and she was competing
10:23
in swimming.
10:24
She's a hundred-year-old.
10:26
A hundred-year-old.
10:27
She was the only competitor of our 100 in the competition.
10:31
So she was one.
10:32
She was in her own age category.
10:34
It was really inspiring.
10:37
Of course, this is inspiring.
10:39
It's nice so in the film, I have a mix of people who are doing what a lot of people would
10:44
consider amazing things over 15, their 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s.
10:50
But for them, for the people who are doing these things, it's not amazing at all.
10:54
We think it's amazing, but they don't, because they've always done it.
10:59
They just keep doing what they've always done, and they're passionate about that.
11:04
And to me, that is one of the secrets of staying young, is to keep following your passion.
11:10
It's like you have a fire inside that you need to nurture and keep it burning until
11:16
the end.
11:17
That candle that burns widely and that when the moon goes, that's the way I like to look
11:22
at life.
11:23
My dad just turned 68 years old a couple of weeks ago, and while he was 60, he was chronologically
11:30
impressed.
11:31
Oh, yeah.
11:32
Psychologically, he's like 12, but he, at 67 chronological years, set a Guinness record
11:39
and it's hanging in his office now as the oldest rookie year race car driver.
11:45
And because he's taken up race car driving, and he runs his business and he runs a full
11:51
real estate development.
11:52
He does all these things, but he also races race cars.
11:56
Let's, let's make, let's kind of, he drives a Camaro and something else.
12:00
So it's more of a stock car type thing, but it's like Daytona type, type cars.
12:07
He said a Guinness record and it's funny to me because he's like, and he said to me the
12:11
other day, which is funny.
12:12
I'm like, ah, 68 and he goes, yeah, he's like, what's tough though?
12:17
He said, I go visit my friends or, you know, even relatives.
12:21
He's like, who are close to me in age or people I went to school with and he goes, I feel
12:26
like I'm visiting my parents.
12:29
He's like, because I go visit a friend who's 70 years old.
12:33
He's like, and I go over and I sit on the edge of the couch and I ask, so how are you
12:37
doing?
12:38
And they're like, well, you know, it's like, and they're retiring and all this other
12:44
kind of stuff.
12:45
And he's like, are you kidding me right now like, and it's his mindset.
12:50
And again, I share that mindset.
12:51
In fact, he and I, he does podcasting all the time and he and I actually have talked
12:55
through.
12:56
We've got a meeting this week in fact to, to start a new podcast and we're going to
12:59
call the podcast generational health because him at almost 70, me at almost 50, it's like,
13:06
we look at life differently, but at the same time, we don't look at life chronologically.
13:10
And that's the entire basis is these types of conversations.
13:14
So I will be reaching out to you.
13:15
Well, actually, it's, I believe in serendipity.
13:18
I really, I think we pick up signs.
13:21
There is a reason why I stopped here yesterday and I talked to your team here because I
13:27
was thinking, I've been thinking of the kind of people I would like to still interview
13:32
in the film.
13:33
Yeah.
13:34
I have enough, like I've got the experts, I've got, I'm really well covered that way, but
13:38
I'm still looking for three or four people who are an inspiration, who can be an inspiration
13:43
for others.
13:44
And I love cars and I love race cars driving fast, all of that.
13:49
And so I thought cheese would be really cool to have somebody who races cars in their 60s
13:54
or 70s.
13:56
And here I am.
13:57
There you go.
13:58
Man, I'm fast.
13:59
That's, yeah, that is like, it's amazing, but I see it all the time, so I'm not surprised.
14:03
That's how great things happen.
14:06
And I mean, inspired by what you just shared with your, with your dad.
14:10
Yeah.
14:11
And, and I'll, I'll juxtapose that because we can't talk about this side without talking
14:15
about this side too.
14:17
And that is, and I'll give the story of my mother, who died at 62 years old, and, but
14:25
that's way too young.
14:26
It is way too young, but the truth of the matter is, is her mother died at 52.
14:33
And when my mother turned 52 years old, she believed that she was in a bonus round.
14:39
Her mindset was literally like any, and I'm not going to say she wasn't grateful for it.
14:44
I think she genuinely believed any time past 52 was a bonus.
14:49
Like, I remember my mother through her forties talking about how she knew that she was going
14:56
to become a young angel.
14:58
And I mean, she spoke that way, and here's the, and I'm going to talk to power words.
15:02
This is going to be really weird.
15:03
My last name is young, obviously, my dad's as well.
15:07
My mother's name was Diane, her entire life, she went by the name, die.
15:13
She married my father, and her name became Diane.
15:18
And she literally spoke her entire life about how her name was Diane.
15:25
And literally her name was Diane, but there's such power in that psychological shift.
15:35
And at 52 years old, her husband was 25 years older than her.
15:40
She had already died to her.
15:42
She was this late life widow, and I'm like, no, you're a young woman who married an old
15:46
man.
15:47
Like, there's a difference.
15:49
And from 52 to 62, she, she was in the bonus round.
15:54
She would sit and crochet and knit and all this other kind of stuff.
15:58
And I'm like, turning 50 and looking at the way that when my grandmother was 50 or, or
16:03
I'm like, I think the thought of dying of old age at 52 years old to me sounds absurd.
16:09
I totally, 100% relate to what you're saying.
16:13
I strongly believe that we should choose our words carefully.
16:18
This is something that I'm trying to make a very conscious effort to pay attention to
16:23
the words we use.
16:25
And people like Dr. Bruce Hiepton talks about that as well with the power, the power, the
16:32
biology of belief.
16:33
So the power of words, 100%.
16:35
So what you're telling me is so, it's almost like it hits me, you know, that it is so powerful
16:44
what you're saying here.
16:45
How the name, your last name, her last or first name dying, going by die, this is incredible.
16:52
And the problem is when people have a mindset, it's very difficult to get them to change.
16:58
And I think that people do not change their behaviors through education alone.
17:06
There is education at our fingertips everywhere.
17:09
We can go on Google and we can get educated on any topic today, it just takes a few minutes.
17:15
What gets people to change their behavior and change their lives sometimes, they have
17:20
to get inspired, they have to have an emotional connection.
17:25
This is why in my films, I am very aware and I pay a great deal of attention to the fact
17:33
that I do not want a collection of talking aids.
17:36
I make sure that we have emotional components that are waived into the film.
17:43
And in the latest film, we go through four dimensions of life.
17:47
We started a physical plane and we introduced technologies and we talked about exercise
17:54
and all of the movement, everything that has to do with the physical plane.
17:58
Then we move into the mental plane, cognitive health with people like Dr. Patrick Porter,
18:04
Dr. Dan Brederson, people like that, talking about the mental component to make sure our
18:09
brains are going to be functioning at the best potential for as long as possible.
18:16
Then we go into the emotional component.
18:19
Emotions are really energy in motion.
18:22
There's a lot of energy in emotions and people actually make changes when they are in
18:30
a different emotional state.
18:33
It can move them to make a change in their life.
18:36
So how do you get people emotionally involved in the film?
18:40
Well, music, nature, we have a lot of nature being present in the film because my opinion
18:47
nature and love are the two greatest healers.
18:52
So we want to make sure that nature is all over the film to inspire people.
18:58
And then we end on the spiritual component of life because that's where we can really
19:03
go into that inspiration.
19:05
There's something greater than that physical world.
19:08
There is something, there is a reason why we are here.
19:12
We can each contribute to making a better life for ourselves but also for others which
19:19
might be the reason why we are here in the first place.
19:23
So that spiritual component, you know, two and a half years ago I went through a major
19:30
change in my life and I put all my stuff in storage and moved on my boat, bought a camper
19:38
van and RV camper van.
19:40
I decided to travel all over with a camper van and live on the boat and the camper van
19:44
basically.
19:45
We also have a house, but I'm never there, which is in the interior of British Columbia.
19:50
My wife is there a lot, but not me because she wants to be close to her parents.
19:54
But I mean Vancouver, my office is in Vancouver, that's where film and video production company
19:58
is.
19:59
So I just live on my boat.
20:00
But I get freed, I've shed myself of all my belongings.
20:04
They've been in storage for two and a half years.
20:07
I don't look at them.
20:08
And you know what?
20:09
I thought I would miss them and in fact, I don't.
20:13
Because what matters is not what's outside, like all this matter, your stuff, it doesn't
20:19
matter.
20:20
You can find your joy in your full film on inside, that's where it is.
20:24
I had a similar experience years ago around the time I was 40 and I had moved across
20:31
country and then was making the move back across country and I'll spare you the crazy
20:36
details.
20:37
But I was a year later moving back to where I was after a year, and I had put all of my
20:44
belongings in a pod and then I was having the pod shipped to my home.
20:50
But I was actually still looking for a home and then a real estate deal fell through and
20:55
pods delivered the wrong pod.
20:58
So they delivered a pod, but all of my stuff was still sitting down in Florida and storage.
21:04
And so here I am and I just rented a house on a three month gig because the real estate
21:09
deal all fell through and it was this whole thing and I'm in this 3,000 square foot condo
21:15
and there's no furniture.
21:17
And I had a TV and a mattress and the mattress was on the floor and I borrowed blankets and
21:24
cheats and stuff from my stepmother and it was like it was one of the most amazing times
21:30
of my life.
21:31
And all of my things, my worldly possessions, my collections, my whatever is my trophies.
21:38
We're all in a pod somewhere in South Florida and I'll tell you what Lauren, it was one
21:44
of the best times and people would look and be like, oh you've got to be miserable.
21:48
I'm like, are you kidding?
21:50
Like I was so unencumbered that I mean and I found time for the things that I actually
21:57
wanted to do.
21:59
Like I would work and I would spend time with people.
22:02
I would go to the gym and when I got home, there were no choice to do.
22:07
There was nothing to do.
22:08
But they're keeping on the mattress on the floor is something we do when we're young.
22:11
Right.
22:12
So here you are.
22:13
I felt like a college kid.
22:14
Exactly.
22:15
At 40 years old I felt like a college kid living in an empty dorm and it felt like I was
22:20
growing up at 40 years old and I'm like my gosh, I just left this giant career that
22:25
I had.
22:27
Anyways, I had a big career and it's like I felt like at the time like I had given all
22:34
of this up to make the move I was making and it turned out to be one of the most purging,
22:40
healing times of my life that I actually got, I'm going to turn it all woo woo but it's
22:44
like I got in touch with me.
22:47
Like none of that mattered.
22:49
My title didn't matter.
22:51
My wealth didn't matter.
22:52
My total choice didn't matter.
22:54
What were your 12 years about?
22:56
For me, I'm not even going to say that we're competitive trophies.
22:59
I'm talking about all of the things I'd collected over life.
23:01
So I'm an avid traveler.
23:04
So my trophies for me are all of the things I've collected from around the world.
23:10
So it is, you know, the artwork that I've purchased, the whatever's that I've gotten
23:15
over the years.
23:16
You know, literally awards academically.
23:19
All of my college degrees were all in frames and all in a storage unit.
23:24
Didn't matter.
23:25
Like I can have five graduate degrees and it doesn't matter.
23:29
What we don't, we don't take them with us when we go into the other dimension.
23:33
We don't.
23:34
We absolutely don't.
23:35
But we can that process of kind of shedding is, even it's, you know, it's a cliché
23:39
to say that, but it's a little true, you know, I'm not going to move that way.
23:43
No, but it's, so I think what's important, what you bring up and what I talked about
23:48
as well, as far as, you know, putting all my belongings in storage, it's change.
23:54
And a lot of people, most people are afraid of change.
23:57
Yeah.
23:58
And change can be very uncomfortable.
24:00
At the same time, I've learned to realize that it is through change that when you make,
24:06
when you have major changes in your life, new energy can rush in.
24:11
If you keep doing the same thing and it's comfortable, there is no room for new energy
24:16
to come in.
24:17
I want to speak to the psychological nature of change because my background is clinical
24:21
psychology.
24:22
And, and in that, one of the things I say is that one of the reasons why people age
24:27
psychologically is the lack of novelty in their lives.
24:31
And when tomorrow looks identical to today and the day before and the day before, they're
24:37
almost becomes a defeat of there's nothing else to look forward to.
24:42
Our brain, that neuroplasticity that happens in our brain naturally begins to atrophy
24:47
because there's nothing new to learn.
24:49
I'm watching TV every day.
24:52
Oh, big deal.
24:53
Another episode of something.
24:54
And usually a lot of people as they're aging, they watch a lot of the same stuff.
24:57
Yes.
24:58
There's no novelty.
24:59
There's no intrigue.
25:00
There's, there begins a lack of curiosity.
25:04
And when that stuff starts to happen, like literally that neuroplasticity fades.
25:09
We're not wiring that brain.
25:11
Every day seems like the next.
25:13
My grandmother always used to use the phrase that, you know, as you get older, there's
25:16
days to years just blow by faster.
25:18
And it's like, well, sure, because every year for you was the same year.
25:23
Like, that's it.
25:24
Every year is the same year, year after year.
25:27
Like every day is go-to-work, come home, feed the dog, watch TV, go to bed.
25:31
And it's like, yeah, I'd be bored as hell too.
25:34
Like, that would be a horrible life.
25:37
And people look at my life and it's like, I'm traveling.
25:40
I'm all over the place.
25:41
I'm doing things.
25:42
And I'm like, yeah, is it exhausting?
25:44
Hell yes.
25:45
Is it worth it?
25:47
Hell yes.
25:48
Because it brings novelty.
25:50
It brings intrigue.
25:51
It's new experiences all the time.
25:54
And I really believe every time I start something new, I don't look at it as well.
25:59
I only have so many years left to refine it.
26:03
I look at like I'm starting the clock over again.
26:06
That's a good, that's a psychological, it's very good to look at it that way.
26:09
Like every time I do something new, I'm like, oh, I'm 30 again.
26:13
Oh, I'm 30 again.
26:14
Yes.
26:15
I like that you're saying that I always encourage people to look back and reconnect with
26:21
what it is they loved when to do when they were growing up, when they were teenagers,
26:27
when they were in their 20s, to reconnect with that source.
26:30
Because when we are a child, we are in, you know, in wonder all the time.
26:35
We are passionate about doing stuff.
26:38
And then, then our parents, as you can do that, the school they think you can do that.
26:42
That's where we find our passion.
26:43
I know, so I always encourage, bring novelty in your life, reconnect with what you used
26:49
to love to do.
26:50
Do it again.
26:51
Like, you know, it doesn't matter that it's 40, I'm a proof of that.
26:55
I'm a living proof of that because when I grew, when I was growing up, I was fanatic,
27:00
I was passionate about movies and cinema.
27:03
I was 11 years old, I was already going to see movies three, four times a week.
27:09
I was writing about the movies I was seeing.
27:11
I was talking in school, the French teacher had given me 15 minutes every week at French
27:18
to talk, well, every second week, to talk in front of the class about the movies that I
27:23
have seen.
27:24
Like, a critic.
27:25
A fan critic.
27:26
I was 13 years old.
27:27
What a generous influence.
27:28
No, it was, yeah, it was kind of thinking outside the box.
27:31
So, but then what happened is, and I did a film school for one year in Paris when I was
27:37
20, to be assistant director, and then I dropped all of that.
27:42
And I came to Canada and I became a business entrepreneur, a business man, a business entrepreneur.
27:48
And I started multiple companies.
27:50
And my latest company was in the caro practice space.
27:53
We created a patient education software for caro practice.
27:58
It was very successful for about 14 years.
28:01
And then 2009 came the recession hit.
28:05
And at the end of 2009, it destroyed my business.
28:09
I had to close it down.
28:10
So for six months after that, I didn't know what to do.
28:14
And then one day I had that revelation, like it came through, I'm going to start a video
28:19
production company.
28:20
And I've worked, I came home that I thought, and I couldn't remember, well, she kind
28:25
of know because she loved movies and she did some producing in the past.
28:30
So I came into the house at six o'clock at night for dinner and Jenny was in the kitchen.
28:36
And I was working and I said, that's it.
28:37
I know what we're going to do.
28:38
We're going to start a video production company.
28:40
And she said, she looked at this, oh, why not?
28:43
And the next day I was interviewing my first client for a video and anyway, but then what
28:51
happened is it's not until, about four years after that, until I reached 58 years old,
28:57
but I met Frank Moffat and he said, why don't he says, Laurent, I always thought, I should
29:03
do a documentary for my film, for my book, but I didn't know anybody who did that.
29:08
And you own a video production company.
29:10
Why don't we do it together?
29:11
Wow.
29:12
And that's what happened.
29:13
Manifesting again, buddy.
29:14
Exactly.
29:15
So I did my first film at age 58 and I haven't stopped since, but that's what I was supposed
29:21
to be doing.
29:22
I love it.
29:23
So it's never too late.
29:24
I love it.
29:25
Mark.
29:26
It's never too late.
29:27
I said 58, reinvented myself and started the career that I was supposed to do when I
29:33
was a young kid growing up in France.
29:37
I wanted to be a film director.
29:38
I wanted to go meet Igmar Bergman on his island of Faroe in Sweden.
29:43
Literally I was looking at the flights and everything.
29:47
It was an unrealistic goal, but that's what I wanted to do.
29:50
I lost nothing more.
29:51
Exactly.
29:52
So anyway, so that's the story of a lot of them ever too late.
29:56
So you're working on this documentary now, the second iteration of your next 50, second
30:02
50.
30:03
When do you propose that that is going to be done?
30:06
So do you recommend that people go find the first one?
30:09
Well, the first one, yes, I love the first one.
30:13
Of course, when I look at it now, I see some technical flaws.
30:17
It was the first thing in course.
30:19
There are some things maybe I would not incorporate now.
30:22
But it's a film that has a bit of a, I think it would say it has some kind of soul.
30:28
I cannot find another word to describe it.
30:30
It's imperfect, but it has something that makes it endearing.
30:34
The music's beautiful.
30:35
Recorded the music.
30:36
It's not going to look it up.
30:38
So I could send it.
30:40
We kept this film private because our business model was to create events, a wrong thing.
30:46
Okay.
30:47
That's what we've done.
30:48
It's not like we put it on YouTube or Netflix, we kept it.
30:54
But yes, of course, anybody who wants to see it, I'm happy to send a link for free.
30:57
The new film, we are wrapping up, filming by the end of June.
31:02
Okay.
31:03
Dr. Bruce Lipton is going to be one of the last person I'm going to interview.
31:08
And then after that, it's going to be three months of editing, typically editing takes
31:13
about three months.
31:14
So we're going to be out this year?
31:15
So yes.
31:16
In November, we, so we will be doing a launch at probably Biohackers World in Miami in
31:26
November.
31:27
So Biohackers World, they are going to do an event either on the Friday night or the
31:30
Saturday night as a big event or on the field.
31:34
And we are lining up a whole bunch of events with a variety of organizations, including changing
31:42
life and destiny.
31:43
Al Pierna is actually in the film.
31:45
Oh, no.
31:46
I cast members because he has an interesting story.
31:50
And I love the title, Changing Life and Destiny.
31:52
That's fascinating.
31:53
Love it by that.
31:54
Love the show.
31:55
Fascinated by that.
31:56
And it's never too late to change your life.
31:58
Correct.
31:59
If you want to change your life, you can, most people think they can't.
32:04
Most people think they are stuck, but you can if you want to.
32:08
It's going to be uncomfortable in most times, but a lot of good things are going to happen.
32:13
I think the universe, somehow or whatever you want to call it, when you're taking chances
32:20
and you have a good purpose behind it, kind of collaborates and helps to make good things
32:25
happen.
32:26
I kind of have that philosophy.
32:27
I love it.
32:28
And I agree with you wholeheartedly.
32:30
I look forward to seeing you're next 50 and more than that, I look forward to enjoying
32:35
my next 50.
32:36
Yes.
32:37
I wish you a phenomenal second.
32:38
Oh, it's going to be incredible.
32:39
It's going to be incredible because I'm going to tell you what, like it cost me absolutely
32:43
nothing to believe that it's going to be incredible.
32:46
And I believe that the outcomes from that belief system changes my biology and I plan on
32:51
my body being there for the next 50 as well.
32:53
I'll send.
32:54
I encourage you follow Laurel in multiple different areas.
32:58
Our team actually has all of that below in the show notes.
33:02
I look forward to seeing this and then potentially I live in Fort Lauderdale, so that's really
33:06
easy to get down to a Miami opening slowly that next week.
33:08
And I'm super interested in meeting your dad, so I would love to talk.
33:11
I'll find out.
33:12
He actually has a home in Clearwater Beach, which was very close to Tampa.
33:15
So perhaps we can.
33:16
He lives in Detroit full time though.
33:18
I will tell you, but I encourage you keep keep abreast of everything about your next 50
33:23
and keep that mindset positive because I said, I'm looking for my third 50, not my second
33:28
50.
33:29
And so I'm looking forward to both of those things.
33:31
So I got another 100 years in me.
33:33
That's my goal.
33:34
That's nice.
33:35
And I'm going to be talking to you the whole time.
