Summary
Comedian Russell Kane is on the cusp of 50, and here to spill the beans on all he’s learned about staying youthful. He tells Gabby what it was like trying to break into comedy - an industry that’s famously a young person’s game - in his thirties, and the ways he used his already keen interest in biohacking to appear younger than he was. Russell speaks about his refusal to believe that aging is predestined, and what he does to slow down the process on a mitochondrial level. They also speak about his later in life diagnosis of ADHD, as well as his main worries as a father - that children are growing up over exposed to the digital world and under exposed to the real world. As you’d expect from someone who is famous for posting his rants online, this “raver reader” is not about to enter his fifties quietly!

| 1:22.1 | If you're anything like me, your phone is bursting with photos from family moments, holidays, that one incredible sunrise you just happen to capture. |
| 1:25.2 | But let's be honest, how often do we actually look at them? |
| 1:31.7 | Well, I've recently started using an app called Free Prince. It's completely changed the way I enjoy those memories. It's such a simple but brilliant idea. You get 45 free 6x4 photo prints every month. No subscriptions, no sneaky |
