What if the goal isn't just to live longer, but to remain capable of doing the things you love for as long as possible?

After decades as a physician, surgeon, and medical innovator, Dr. Arnon Krongrad believes we've been asking the wrong question. Rather than chasing longevity, he's focused on something he calls "functional supremacy."

Today, Arnon challenges conventional thinking about health and aging. You'll hear why he believes physical, cognitive, and emotional function may matter far more than simply adding years to our lives.

We discuss:

• How to prepare for a life you still want to be living decades from now
  
  
• Why the best health goal may have nothing to do with a number on a chart
  
  
• The challenge of staying physically, mentally, and emotionally sharp as we age
  
  
• What becomes possible when you stop measuring success by lifespan alone
  
  
• How to build a future worth staying healthy for

What if the things you loved most as a kid still hold clues about the life you actually want now?

I still remember Yankees games crackling through a transistor radio tucked under my pillow long past bedtime. For Ben Orlando, it was realizing those moments were never really about baseball at all.

I'm talking with psychotherapist, writer, and Midnight Library of Baseball host Ben Orlando about masculinity, nostalgia, and what happens when men lose the thread back to themselves.

We explore why the hobbies we dismiss as "not serious" often point to something much deeper, and why reconnecting with joy and authenticity matters even more as we get older.

You'll hear about:

• Why certain childhood memories stay with us for life
  
  
• How men lose themselves in careers and responsibilities
  
  
• The importance of reconnecting with joy and nostalgia
  
  
• Why hobbies and passions matter more than we think
  
  
• The emotional power of shared memories
  
  
• What older men regret most at the end of life
  
  
• Why it's never too late to reconnect with yourself
