Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Longevity Science Means for Childfree Adults | Dr. Jay Zigmont CFP® & Joshua Herring
Q: What role does education play in your strategy?
Education Bank programs dissect hype versus reality in longevity and present evidence-based guidance, enabling people to understand what actually works and how to apply it to their own health journeys.
What Longevity Science Means for Childfree Adults | Dr. Jay Zigmont CFP® & Joshua Herring
Q: How does the Foundation balance impact with financial sustainability?
We view impact in terms of lives improved and healthspan extended rather than pure ROI; 100% of donated dollars go to research, with operating costs covered by our venture-capital partners, and some projects may lead to commercial ventures while many will advance knowledge or policy.
What Longevity Science Means for Childfree Adults | Dr. Jay Zigmont CFP® & Joshua Herring
Q: Can you summarize the core mission of the Longevity Science Foundation in simple terms?
Our mission is to help people live healthier for longer by funding high-quality early-stage research, focusing on preventive and predictive medicine, and translating findings into accessible education to empower individuals to make informed health choices.
What No One Tells You About Rental Properties | Bri Conn CFP® & Justin Brown-Woods
Q: So, how did you decide to start investing in rental properties and why did you choose Michigan as your first market?
After debt payoff, we explored long-term wealth and saw family-passdown properties as a model. We picked Michigan because the Detroit ring cities offered a balance of tenant-friendly policies and viable numbers, and we could start remotely with local professionals.
Planning the Life You Actually Have | Bri Conn CFP® & Hillary
Q: What role does the family farm and trusts play in your long-term plans?
The farm and oil trust are complex assets with evolving ownership and distributions; planning around trustee roles and potential distributions will be central to any estate and tax strategy.
