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.

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:

· Reinventing yourself and your skills as technology changes.
· Using money to invest in tools, learning, and opportunities that expand your capabilities.
