Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and investor. He is the founder of OS Fund and Braintree, the latter of which was bought by eBay in 2013 for $800 million in cash.
Bryan launched OS Fund in 2014 with $100 million of his personal capital to support inventors and scientists who aim to benefit humanity by rewriting the operating systems of life. In other words: he fuels real-world mad scientists.
His investments include endeavors to cure age-related diseases and radically extend healthy human life to 100+ (Human Longevity), replicate the human visual cortex using artificial intelligence (Vicarious), mine an asteroid (Planetary Resources), reinvent transportation using autonomous vehicles (Matternet), and reimagine food using biology (Hampton Creek), among others.
Our conversation includes his rags to riches story, his philosophical hardwiring, negotiating/sales tactics, and even parenting. We cover a ton of ground with a fascinating and deep mind.
Enjoy!

P.S.
- Bryan Johnson paid his way through college by buying phones from a distributor and having college students sell the phones for him. His commission was $200 per phone.
- Failed big twice: VOIP company (before Skype) and in Real Estate, before succeeding with Braintree.
- About him: His secret to success is simple: Johnson says his sincerest desire is to be useful to society. Not motivated by money, he is driven by a need to do something larger than himself and be able to control his own time.
- Quote: "The beauty and promise of entrepreneurship is that you get to author the world you live in. You determine the people you hire, the culture you create, the products you design and your reason for existence."
