info_outlineAI, Longevity, and the Secret to Lasting Joy and Success
What if the key to a longer, more successful life wasn’t just technology or hard work — but joy?
In this episode of Richer Soul, I sit down with futurist, inventor, and keynote speaker Kevin Surace to explore a powerful intersection: the breakthroughs of AI, the science of extending healthspan, and a life philosophy that flips success on its head.
Kevin isn’t just a tech visionary with 95 patents — he’s a master of finding joy in the everyday and using it as fuel for achievement. From AI-driven healthcare to humanoid robots, we talk about the massive shifts reshaping our world, and how to thrive in them without losing your sense of purpose.
Key Takeaways:
- Joy Fuels Success – Most people think success brings joy, but Kevin flips the script: joy is the foundation that makes success inevitable.
- The One Complaint Rule – Limiting yourself to one complaint a day forces you to look for the positive in every situation, opening the door to better problem-solving and relationships.
- Healthspan Over Lifespan – It’s not about living more years — it’s about staying strong, mobile, and vibrant in the years you have.
- AI Changes the Game – AI won’t take your job, but someone using AI will. Learn to leverage it or risk being left behind.
Money Learning:
Kevin learned the value of budgeting, saving, and entrepreneurship early, thanks to his father’s grocery budget discipline and his own teenage electronics repair business. This foundation taught him:
· The importance of living within your means.
· Reinventing yourself and your skills as technology changes.
· Using money to invest in tools, learning, and opportunities that expand your capabilities.
