In this episode of Ageless Future, Regan Archibald sits down with entrepreneur and author Garnet Morris to unpack the “mental bricks” that stall progress—and how coachability, values, and ambition can knock them down. Morris shares his late-in-life transformation (quitting two-pack-a-day smoking, losing ~150 pounds) sparked by getting coaches and treating health like a Porsche: proactive diagnostics, small annual adjustments, and no junk in the tank. He outlines community-scale plans to improve population health—starting in Mississippi and challenging Utah to become America’s healthiest state—through simple, scalable fundamentals (movement, nutrition), authentic storytelling, and partnerships with hospitals, schools, and churches. They explore why AI can supercharge marketing but not replace human-to-human sales or accountability, why trades and hands-on roles remain resilient, and how women’s health demands research- and lifestyle-driven care beyond hormones. The throughline: lead, ask for help, build local momentum, and make “best” your mission.
