Hello and welcome back to Franklin Covey's Twice Weekly podcast on Leadership with Scott Miller.

That's me. I'm your host, six and a half, almost seven years running, where we have interviewed,

can you believe, nearly 500 episodes, featuring conversations with many of the world's

most influential thought leaders, authors, CEOs, entrepreneurs, creators, artists,

scientists, academics, discoverers, people that have dedicated their lives, their research to helping improve our own lives. Franklin Covey, of course, co-founders, people that have dedicated their lives, their research to helping improve our own lives.

Franklin Covey, of course, co-founded by the famed author Stephen R. Covey, nearly 40 years ago,

who of course wrote the seminal book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Franklin Covey, known to millions as the world's most trusted leadership firm sponsors this podcast

in the hopes to pour into you, to make you a better leader, more highly effective, and help you

achieve your own great purposes. Each week, we have broad-ranging conversations on both

audio and video every Tuesday and Friday so that you can have access to some

of the greatest minds. Today our guest is remarkable gentlemen, although American by citizenship

in residence, if you will, at Cambridge University for nearly three decades. His name is Vinky

Ramakrishnan, and he is the Nobel Prize winner in

chemistry. He shared this prize with another scientist. Dr. Vinkie is joining us here to talk about

his new book, Why We Die, Tagline the New Science of Aging and the quest for immortality.

Vinky, welcome to today's podcast.

Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure.

It's a pleasure to be with you. I think you are our first Nobel Prize winner, maybe.

Will you remind us what is it like when that call comes?

I know you shared that prize with another fellow colleague in chemistry.

Were you thinking?
