What happens to human intelligence when technology begins doing more of our thinking for us?

In this episode of Younger Than Yesterday, Ian sits down with longtime friend, brain coach and bestselling author Jim Kwik for a conversation about protecting and developing the mind in an age of unprecedented technological convenience.

Jim shares how a childhood brain injury and the belief that he was “the boy with the broken brain” ultimately led to more than three decades of studying memory, learning, focus and human performance. Together, Ian and Jim explore the difference between using technology as leverage and surrendering our cognitive abilities to it, why critical thinking and judgment must continue to be exercised, and how AI can augment human intelligence without replacing it.

They also discuss the philosophy behind Jim’s new book, Limitless Daily, and why meaningful transformation is rarely the result of one extraordinary effort. It is the accumulation of small, deliberate practices repeated consistently over time.

From protecting the first moments of the morning to developing cognitive flexibility and learning to “build before you borrow,” this conversation is an invitation to become more intentional about what you give your attention to, how you exercise your mind, and who you are becoming through the habits you practice every day.

In this episode, Ian Clark sits down with Aaron Alexander, author of The Align Method, to explore why some of the most powerful approaches to longevity are also the simplest.

Together, they unpack how chronic stress, stagnation, and modern living can disconnect us from the foundations of health, and why movement, breath, sunlight, time outside, sleep, and nervous system regulation matter more than another complicated “biohack.” Aaron also shares how learning to remove physical and emotional static can create more space for the body to rest, regulate, and recover.

At its core, this conversation is about returning to the fundamentals and learning how to live more fully aligned with your body.
