This episode we’re diving into the intersection of aging and technology. My guest is Brent Franson, the Founder and CEO of Death Clock (yes, that’s really what it’s called), the world’s most downloaded longevity app. It may sound scary but promise it isn’t. It’s been named one of the “Techs That Will Change Your Life in 2025” by The Wall Street Journal, and has ranked in the top five of the U.S. App Store’s Health & Fitness category—so clearly, something’s working.
We talk about how AI and tech are transforming the way we think about aging, prevention, and longevity, especially for women in midlife. Brent created Death Clock out of frustration with a system that only reacts when we’re already sick. His mission? Help people take proactive steps—before it becomes a health crisis.
We explore why it’s never too late (or too early) to start investing in your future self, how tech can empower women over 50, and why tracking your habits might be the most life-affirming thing you do.
Here is some of what you can expect in this episode:
-
What the Death Clock app actually does (and why it’s not morbid at all)
-
Why the healthcare system is reactive—and how tech helps you get proactive
-
How AI can empower women in midlife to stay informed, independent, and healthy
-
The surprising connection between daily habits and longevity
-
How wearables and digital wellness tools are changing the game for aging
If you’re curious about AI, aging, or just want to live longer—and better—this episode is for you.
