Want a chance to win part of a $101 million prize pot? All you need to do is restore an older person’s function by 10+ years and you could be in with a chance of winning the new XPRIZE Healthspan! I spoke to two of the project leads, Peter H. Diamandis and Jamie Justice, to find out whether we really can move the needle on this, why they made this a prize rather than just handing $101 million to longevity scientists, why more billionaires aren’t doing this, and, most importantly…why one hundred and one million dollars?

Thanks to Peter and Jamie, and ‪@xprize‬ for making this video possible!
