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.
