Rich Roll: Story of Redemption, Personal Triumph and Ultra-Fitness

I'm just a stoner, but Rich is such an inspiration to be sober. He makes me want to quit coffee and tea as well. I feel like in the next 10-20 year's, there will be more Rich Rolls! He's such an inspiration.

Total respect to this guy... always look up to these sort of people and many others should .

The interviewer is a good listener who asks the right questions at the wright time. Great skill. Thank you. Loved to listen to this interview <3

Well done for overcoming the Alcohol addiction.I know how hard that is.

Rich is a good guy. Great story. He was lucky to have such a solid foundation of family, work, and people and background to help to get through it all.

This is so inspirational for me... I am vegan but also alcoholic, his story is so much like mine, I was an excellent student in high school and did well until college I started to derail but still kept it together and graduated, now I am 25 in a sound engineering school and need to get a job, make connections/friends and pursue my dream in music but I feel disconnected from myself. Thank you for this video!

Wow, what you shared about your wife, that when she let go then you started to change, was so powerful... I guess just what I needed to hear... thank you for sharing and thank you Jonathan for asking Rich that great question! 

Rich Roll rocks, he is a great inspiration for me. I am overweight, 60 and have totally blown out knees which are bone on bone. I used to weigh over 400 pounds and I am now down to 290 pounds. I need to be 275 pounds in order to get my first of two knee replacement surgeries. I am eating a whole foods plant-based diet. My downfall is exercise, it's hard to get motivated to exercise when you are in severe pain and depressed. But guys like Rich Roll, David Goggins and Anthony Robbins are great inspiration and motivators. Monday I am starting my TRX and stationary bootcomp. I know what I have to do, I just need to get off of my ass and do it! I am over 4 years and 4 months clean and sober and a CCAR Certified Recovery Coach.

Great interview, thanks for the inspection guys

Brilliant interview, thank you!

Great interview, I love hearing your story as well jonathan. Thank you for sharing!

I am 55. Sober over 8,5 years. Vegetarian since last February, Vegan since July. My dream is to run my first marathon this year. Thanx fot the uploading of this interview.

I'm a huge fan of Jonathan and so excited to have Rich be on his show!

Rich’s book/journey was the inspiration and support that got me through my first year of sobriety. I had no intention of ever running an ultra, but three weeks before my 10-months of being clean, I found myself registering for a 50k and by my first year, I had completed it. He has been such a hero to me and so many. And Jonathan, your podcast got me through some really dark times six years ago when I would walk to work because I had lost my license to a DUI. Your inspirational conversations with world-shakers stirred me to want to be a better person and helped me to see a light that I didn’t think was there at the time. I appreciate, admire and thank you both so, so much. 🙏🏻🤍

so very inspiring for me! Thank you for your openness and your powerful and motivating story!

This was really nice, thank you :)

Great interview. Thank You.

"Be in gratitude. Be of service." It feels so hokey and like something you'd read on a motivational poster but it's physiologically sound. When you're thankful and when you do good for others, your brain lets up on that karmic debt that you feel you owe to yourself and others. It gives you mental space to be free and grow and move around.

Great interview, of.a great interviewer- not easy, and well done! You could see he appreciated your questions and reflections. Thank you!

Great video. I really enjoyed both your books so it was awesome to see this conversation between you guys. Thanks for sharing!
