  • Peter Diamandis: Finding Your Massive Transformative Purpose
    Apr 5 2025

    "There are two important days in your life – the day you were born and the day that you found out why."

    What drives some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs? For Peter Diamandis – the celebrated founder of XPRIZE, Singularity University and Fountain Life – it's discovering your "Massive Transformative Purpose" (MTP).

    In this thought-provoking conversation with Méline, Peter reveals:

    • Why only a third of the brightest students at Singularity University knew their purpose in life
    • How his purposefinder.ai helps people discover what truly drives them through a series of powerful questions
    • Why our medical system trains doctors who follow established patterns rather than staying at the cutting edge
    • The science behind biological age – and how it can be reversed through targeted lifestyle interventions
    • His approach to longevity through Fountain Life, where he measures and optimises over 200 biomarkers
    • The secret to entrepreneurial success: "The world's biggest problems are the world's biggest business opportunities

    Peter shares his own journey through multiple MTPs – from opening space commercially to helping entrepreneurs impact a billion people, and now extending the human healthspan. He offers practical wisdom on finding the purpose that will wake you up in the morning and sustain you through challenges.

    As Peter puts it: "I truly believe everybody was born to do one special thing only they are born for – but it takes a lot of courage, trial and failure to find it."

  • Longevity Doctor: Industrialised Healthcare Is Not The Answer
    Mar 27 2025

    What if everything you've been told about healthcare is fundamentally incomplete? While conventional medicine excels at treating disease, in this episode Dr. E reveals why it's shockingly ill-equipped to help you truly thrive. "Industrialised healthcare is like Ford industrialised the manufacturing of cars," he explains. "We have a heart doctor, but you can't speak to them about your stomach problem. It doesn't make sense, right? Because you're one human body."

    In this riveting conversation with Méline Liu, Dr. E - a London-trained general practitioner, TEDx speaker, and visionary behind one of London's premier longevity clinics - unveils his revolutionary framework for understanding human health. He reveals how treating the body as disconnected parts is failing us all, while sharing the four fundamental pillars of health that conventional medicine overlooks.

    Dr. E explains how the earliest signs of deterioration - subtle changes in energy, mood, digestion - are systematically ignored until they manifest as diagnosable disease. "The HumanWare deteriorates over time," he warns. "The sooner we can identify the deterioration, the quicker we can prevent that deterioration."

    Through fascinating insights into cutting-edge therapies, Dr. E shares how his clinic is achieving what many would consider impossible: "I was really surprised that we could improve people's health and their requirement for medication would decrease." From hyperbaric oxygen chambers that stimulate stem cell production to revolutionary treatments that can "reverse a decade of decline in just two weeks," his approach bridges the gap between conventional medicine and optimal human performance.

    And what exactly are the four pillars of health as he sees them?

    Listen in to find out that what makes Dr. E's perspective so valuable is his ability to bridge conventional medicine with cutting-edge science. Whether you're dealing with persistent health issues or simply want to understand how to maintain optimal performance as you age, this conversation offers practical wisdom for taking control of your health in ways conventional medicine rarely addresses.

    As Dr. E eloquently puts it: "Our state now is determined by how we've lived, and our state in the future is how we live now. Big energy equals big bank."

  • Brain Expert: How to Improve Focus and Manage ADHD
    Mar 21 2025

    "It might sound corny, but I think this technology will change the world. Imagine how much of our life is dictated by how our brain works and how we've been conditioned by the past. This will help us break free." – James Croall

    What happens when a successful Silicon Valley cybersecurity expert keeps falling asleep in executive meetings and struggles to focus? For James Croall, this frustrating reality led to a profound discovery that would completely transform not only his own life but also his entire career trajectory.

    In this eye-opening next episode of The Humanware Project, Méline sits down with James Croall, a self-described "neurohacker" who spent 25 years in cybersecurity before pivoting to help others optimise their brain function. Through his own journey overcoming attention deficits and sleep disorders, James discovered that we aren't limited by the brains we think we have – they can be trained, conditioned, and fundamentally rewired.

    James reveals the fascinating science behind neurofeedback and neurostimulation, explaining how techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), photobiomodulation, and PEMF therapy can create lasting changes in brain function. As he puts it, "We're trying to understand the language of the brain and then hack it." The results can be remarkable – from clients who go from completing 20% of their to-do lists to 80%, to those overcoming anxiety patterns that had previously paralysed their careers.

    Perhaps most compelling is James's breakdown of how our modern environment has rewired many of our brains for distraction. Social media, constant notifications, and multitasking have disrupted our dopamine reward circuitry, leading to attention difficulties even in those without genetic predispositions. Through the neurotherapy techniques James employs, we can potentially reverse these patterns and reclaim our capacity for sustained focus.

    What sets this conversation apart is James's unique perspective as someone who approaches the brain like a computer system – identifying patterns, applying the right inputs, and measuring outputs. His background in programming and cybersecurity gives him a distinct advantage in understanding the "language" of the brain and how to hack it for optimal performance.

    In this wide-ranging conversation, you'll discover:

    - How neurofeedback acts like a "mirror" for your brain, allowing it to see and correct its own patterns
    - Why neurostimulation can create faster, more effortless changes in brain function
    - The surprising connection between sleep quality and attention span
    How vagus nerve stimulation can help balance your autonomic nervous system
    - Why ADHD may actually confer certain creative advantages when properly managed
    - The ethical considerations around "neurohacking" and finding qualified practitioners
    - Through James's eyes, we glimpse a future where technologies like these could fundamentally change how we approach mental health, cognitive performance, and human potential – not by medicating symptoms away, but by teaching our brains to function more optimally from the inside out.
