On this episode of The Longevity CEO, I sit down with Jeff Johnston, a remarkable leader and visionary whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. Jeff opens up about his personal battles with addiction, including alcoholism and gambling, and shares the heart-wrenching story of losing his son to an overdose—a tragedy that profoundly shaped his life and purpose.

We dive deep into the themes of resilience and choice—how Jeff chose to be better, not bitter, in the face of unimaginable loss. Together, we explore the power of reframing pain into purpose, the importance of mental wellness, and how embracing self-care can transform our lives.

Jeff also introduces the Brightn app, a groundbreaking tool he’s developed to empower young adults to take charge of their mental health through a unique blend of health, wealth, and purpose. We discuss the alarming mental health crisis among Gen Z and why prevention, empowerment, and holistic wellness are critical for this generation.

This episode is a raw, honest conversation about the intersection of mental health, aging, and finding your 'why'—because when we discover our purpose, we unlock the potential for a more fulfilling, impactful life.
