My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode of the Boundless Life Podcast.

I really think that people should not be afraid of technology. People should be afraid of how people use technology. Technology itself is not good or evil. The way you use technology, like algorithms, are not f*****.

My guest on this show is Brett Hurt. He's a serial tech entrepreneur. He's an investor. He's the author of a brand new book called Love Conquers Fear, Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for All. You'll hear Brett's incredible backstory.
He is a guy who delves into a lot of different categories, as you will find out, and he's just one fun dude who's also a very smart cookie.

Do we want to be a species that destroys ourself with technology, or do we want to be a species that don't be afraid of technology, be part of the light, to use technology to create the world that frankly we should all want, which is a world led from the heart, not from the ego.

Welcome to The Boundless Life, with me, your host, Ben Greenfield. I'm a personal trainer, exercise physiologist and nutritionist, and I'm passionate about helping you discover unparalleled levels of health, fitness, longevity and beyond.

**Ben Greenfield** (1:42)
I spent 20 years measuring and optimizing everything about my body.
Deep performance metrics, cold stress, heat stress, sleep scores, blood panels, peptide protocols, testosterone, telomeres, VO2 max, you name it. And somewhere in the middle of building what looked like perfect life, I almost lost the lives that I was building it for. Boundless. The Man Who Became Human is a brand new feature documentary that follows what happened when the optimization framework that I spent two decades constructing ran headlong into the things that metrics could never measure. My marriage, my sons, my faith. The private archive footage in this documentary has never been seen publicly. Some of it I debated even including at all. It shows basically the worst of what happens when longevity becomes the ultimate goal and how you and I can turn that around to become fulfilled by what's truly important in life.
Now, this is not just another biohacking film. It's an honest look at what it costs to chase the ceiling on human performance told through real footage of one family, my family finding that out. I'm giving you the chance to join me for the brand new live premier tour of this new film in a city near you. Here's what the night looks like. You watch the film, me and my family, in a theater and then you experience a live episode of the Boundless Life podcast on stage with open Q&A. Real questions, no filters. My wife, Jessa, and my sons, River and Taryn, will be there with us as well. VIP ticket holders get to join for an exclusive after party with upgraded food and drinks. This Boundless Life tour kicks off in LA on July 24th, Austin on August 20th, New York City on August 6th, Miami coming down the pipeline, London coming down the pipeline, more cities to be announced. Tickets are on sale now. Grab them now before they're gone at boundlessdoc.com. That's boundlessdoc.com.
I hope to see you there.

When I met you, Brett, I don't know if you remember this. We were down south at our friend's wedding. Was it Lexington?

**Brett Hurt** (4:22)
It was Lexington. It was Lincoln and Julie.

**Ben Greenfield** (4:25)
Yes, we were at Lincoln and Julie's wedding. This was the day before the wedding. I showed up at the gym at the hotel with my wife, and you were at the gym with your wife. We might have been the only four people in the gym actually, a testament to our dedication. But I hadn't really hung out with you or met you.
I saw this guy in the corner doing mobility exercises, and then this whole routine with the X3 bar. I've had the founder of that bar on my podcast. Is that like your routine everywhere you go?

**Brett Hurt** (4:56)
It is, yeah. I have a routine where I always have a bag pack with all the equipment in it. No matter where I'm at, anywhere in the world, doesn't matter if they have a gym or not, I just can work out either at their gym or in the room, but I bring that bag with me. It's a X3 bar, it's a yoga mat, it's some pads for my elbows because I do a very long plank. I built up to a 24 minute a day plank.
