单集简介 ...

Rich Roll transformed his body and health, losing 50-pounds and becoming an acclaimed plant-powered ultra-endurance athlete. This led to the blockbuster book, Finding Ultra. But, behind the scenes, he was struggling with something else that would eventually bring him, once again, to his knees. While he'd figured out his physical wellbeing, he had also awakened to the fact that his career as a lawyer was deeply unfulfilling. Married, with a wife and four kids, he left the law behind. Now, he had to figure out how to craft a new living. This led to a years-long, often brutally-hard journey that brought him within hours of losing the family home. But, together with his wife, Julie Piatt, they held to their belief that the only way was through. That eventually led to a new vocation as an advocate, speaker, author and podcast producer focusing on healthy-living, plant-powered eating, sustainable food-systems and meaningful living. That journey is still unfolding. And, in today's conversation, we dive into the major points of reckoning, inflection and celebration. This part of his journey is also detailed in a newly updated version of Finding Ultra. ----------- Have you discovered your Sparketype yet? Take the Sparketype Assessment™ now.

  • When you want something, it's hard, and it doesn't always go the way that you want it to.

  • But ultimately, the value of really chasing after something that's important to you kind of transcends all of that.

  • I am super excited to have my buddy rich roll on the podcast with me today.

  • We first taped a conversation, man, it's probably like almost five years back, when we were filming the original video series for Good Life project.

  • And it was a really big deep dive into his personal journey from overweight, 50 pound overweight, alcoholic, miserable, unhappy, unhealthy tourney at the time to a profound physical transformation, and where he actually became sort of an ultra endurance, elite athlete.

  • That led to a book called Finding Ultra, which is a really moving memoir.

  • That memoir is actually out as a reissue with something like 100 new pages.

  • It's almost like an entire new book.

  • You can go check it out now.

  • But I want to sit down with rich because the story that hasn't been told really all that much is the story of what has happened since that book came out in the six years since the original.

  • And that odyssey is maybe more compelling, more powerful, a bigger disruption than what came before it.

  • I had richs wife, Julie Pyatt on a little while back, which is another fantastic conversation.

  • Well link to both richs earlier one and Julie's.

  • And I really wanted to dive into sort of richs experience of the last chunk of years.

  • We cover so many different topics.

  • He is beautifully open, transparent, and vulnerable.

  • I think youre really going to enjoy this conversation.

  • Im Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.

  • And the last time we sat down together was gotta be close to five years ago, right?

  • Yes.
