This week we meet Russ Lidstone, president of Inizio Engage XD. He believes businesses are made up of Red Meat and Red Roses players, both of whom needs specific support in order to excel in their roles. We discussed how leaders can identify which category their employees fall into and the best ways to support them through challenging times.

He says, "There are times, of course, where there's no sugar coating anything. It's about being direct with people, but doing so in a way that demonstrates you're human."

There’s an undeniable fascination in observing US tech tycoons’ bizarre efforts to ‘de-age’, from blood plasma transfusions to investing in “cellular rejuvenation” start-ups. Yet, while Bryan Johnson and fellow anti-ageing obsessives try to cheat (or, as they would see it, ‘hack’) biology, there’s a reality “we all know yet fail to act on”, Andrew Scott writes in the introduction to The Longevity Imperative: we have already been given more time.

Over the last century, life expectancy has increased by around two to three years every decade. Yet, this “longevity revolution”, as Scott describes it, now necessitates a second revolution: we need to change how we age.

In this week’s episode, we discuss exactly what this entails – ranging from how we manage our careers and relationships to the measures we take to safeguard our health. We also look at the implications for businesses, including in terms of recruitment, how they innovate and the products they bring to market.
