One question is "How does knowing everyone will eventually pass away affect how we live?" Its like wondering, "Does knowing we will die one day change how we should live day to day?"

It shows how we can confront the idea of what life means to us and how we choose to live.

Ultimately, if a person doesn't change, one might keep procrastinating for the rest of their life or even die early.

This relates and connects to the podcast because, throughout the whole podcast, the lady tries to come up with how to live the longest-feeling life ever, the people in this podcast also mention how through time the life expectancy of the average human has increased due to the advance meant of technology and other variables like increased food and medicine. This statistic helps support the people's statements that we are starting to live longer which would make a longer-lasting life.
