What if the key to living longer, thinking sharper, and recovering from burnout wasn't a supplement or a biohack - but a mental state you were born to access?
In the first episode of Built to Last, Méline Liu sits down with Steven Kotler - bestselling author, neuroscience researcher, and founder of the Flow Research Collective - for a wide-ranging conversation filmed in a vintage car about the state that may be the most powerful performance tool in existence: flow.
Steven breaks down how flow rewires the brain after trauma, why it's neuroprotective against depression and PTSD, and how 35,000 people increased their time in flow by over 73% in just eight weeks. He also reveals the one thing most people give up as they get older - and why reclaiming it could be the simplest longevity intervention of all.
This is a conversation about peak performance, mental resilience, and what it truly means to be built to last.
