Most people think the biggest drivers of longevity are diet, exercise, or the latest health breakthroughs. But what if one of the strongest predictors of how long and how well you live is something we rarely prioritize: the quality of your relationships?

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Keith Ferrazzi to explore why meaningful relationships may be one of the most overlooked pillars of health and longevity. Keith shares the science behind connection, why accountability is one of the biggest predictors of success, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can transform your health, career, and happiness. He also explains the surprising power of generosity, creating a shared vision, and building a community that helps everyone grow together.
