Why Longevity Is the New Wealth: How to Invest in Your Future Self | Jon Sabes
In this episode of An Hour of Innovation podcast, host Vit Lyoshin sits down with longevity entrepreneur and author Jon Sabes to explore why healthspan, not just lifespan, is the future we should all be planning for.
We dive into Jon’s powerful framework from his book Healthy, Wealthy, Longevity and unpack how your health, wealth, and purpose must work together to prepare for a longer, more vibrant life. Jon explains the real cost of poor health, the impact of living longer on your financial future, the lessons from Blue Zones, and why your older self will either thank you or regret your choices. He also introduces a new financial product that flips the traditional insurance model: one that rewards you for living longer.
Jon Sabes is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Longevity Financial Partners, where he’s building innovative tools to help people prepare for longer lifespans. He previously led FOXO Technologies, where he worked on cutting-edge longevity biomarkers and epigenetics. Jon is also the author of Healthy, Wealthy, Longevity, and has spent nearly two decades at the intersection of financial services, molecular health, and aging science.
