Pat isn't a biohacker or wellness guru, he's a former Nikon sales rep who quietly stumbled into a life of longevity through meditation, community, creativity, and presence.Pat shares the story of how a career move from New York to Massachusetts in 1972 led him to daily meditation, a practice he's kept for over 50 years. He talks about quitting smoking at 62 using a surprisingly simple mindset shift, the grief of outliving so many friends, and what it means to still feel connected and purposeful at nearly 90.Lauren and Pat also explore his extraordinary "art diary," a handmade calendar project he's maintained since 1972, filled with drawings, collage, and dry humor that documents the texture of daily life. Pat reflects honestly on death, the afterlife, regret, and the wisdom he'd offer anyone trying to live well.This is a heartfelt conversation about aging, meaning, and the small things that quietly add up to a long, full life.
