The Story

Erik Hensel hosts raw, unfiltered conversations with people who have lived past 100. LifeLessons puts life's biggest questions, deepest regrets and most valuable lessons to centenarians like 102-year-old Joy Frost, WWII pilot Henry Young and 101-year-old Enid, who lived through the Great Depression and a century besides. It's for anyone drawn to hard-won wisdom, sitting squarely in Society, Culture and Personal territory.

What stands out is the sheer span of memory on offer. Henry is 102 and still plays tennis three times a week; Enid is sharper than most people half her age. The show comes from the creators of the viral LifeLessons film, featured by The New York Times and Good Morning America. Four episodes have arrived since June 2026, each running about an hour and one minute, with new ones landing weekly on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
