As I approach my 50th birthday, I’ve been thinking about why I started Uncommonly Remarkable, what the show has taught me, and what I want it to become.

The podcast began as a way to understand the lives of remarkable people—not just what they accomplished, but how they became who they are. Along the way, the conversations expanded from friends and colleagues to authors, physicians, trainers, and experts exploring health, longevity, sleep, breathing, and the complicated process of aging.

But making the show also taught me something about myself.

In this episode, I reflect on the journey so far, the finite nature of time, and why the next chapter of Uncommonly Remarkable will include more of my own thoughts, fears, observations, discoveries, and questions.

This is not the end of the conversations. It is the beginning of a different kind of one.

Uncommonly Remarkable℠ is a health and wellness show focused on understanding how the body works and how everyday choices shape long-term health.
