i HAD THE LUCK AND THE HONOR TO BE RICK RUBINS AND FAMILY PRIVATE CHEF FOR TWO WEEKS IN ITALY. RICK RUBIN IS A PERSON THAT HAS A UNIQUE PERSONALITY AND WISDOM ALL AROUND HIM. COOKING EVERYDAY WAS A DELIGHT AND TOTALY FUN AND I ALWAYS GAVE MY BEST, HE MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.
LISTENING TO HIM IS COMPLETLY RELAXING AND INSPIRING. HIS POWER, WISDOM AND VULNERABILITY MAKE HIM CLOSE AND HUMAN.
I WOULD LIKE TO MEET HIM AGAIN!

[bbcerise]

I could listen to that man for hours. Thank God for Rick Rubin. (And thank you Rich Roll for that great interview!). I'm "binge listening" to his interviews about his book and can't wait to read it. (Also, his story about how he asked the Universe for a sign made me cry. I'm stuck these days, and can't find any answers really. Gonna keep asking. - And I precise that I'm a meditation teacher, so I guess, quite open and connected! Sometimes we're just stuck and we have to accept it...)

[heathpiper]

I interview 60, 70, 80, 90 + year olds around Australia for a living. As you both said - it's an important historical time capsule for families - to record their voice and how they see/saw the world. The conversations are profound, silly, endearing and will live beyond the physical form.

All the best,

Heath piper

[PaulCarterArt]

Inspiring and empowering on many levels.
I will be listening to this one again to get everything I missed the first time.
Thanks guys for sharing the experience and stories on your creative journey, this is priceless.

[TaniaPomalesArt]

I've always said I see the world as a giant painting. I'm an artist, a painter. And when I say that, I get funny looks. But this is it... It is my way of being. Everything is art. There is a painting in every face, in every moment, no matter how mundane or extravagant... And it's just how I see life. I get it now. Rick Rubin made me understand myself more. Thank you for this podcast. My brain cracked open and let in a new world.

“If I could produce an artist, support them in doing their best work, without ever meeting or speaking to them, that would be the highest form of it - I have not achieved that level yet.”
I respectfully disagree. You’ve done just that for so many of us for decades!
The irony is that the highest form of achievement for many of us is to be able to work directly with you. 🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏿 You’re an incredible vessel Rick Rubin✨

[zoeygould]

By sharing his ideas, I think Rick is supporting artists in producing their best work without ever meeting or speaking to them. Thank you for sharing your insights with those who are paying attention.

[modamodamode]

I'd just like to put it out there that Rich Roll (for me) is the greatest voice in healing media since Krista Tippett's On Being. Funny, real, gets guests to disclose deeply and sincerely. Not afraid of real topics that are relevant threads in so many different people. He always brings it back to the similarities, the common, the shared pov. Rick gets us to decloak, shed that skin Ive been living in as to embrace what is God given or in other corners given by the universe. Namaste, both of you!

[CamsCampbell]

I love how Rick is talking about paying attention and attuning our antennae, because that's what I was doing when this podcast, this book and the interview with Andrew Huberman all fell onto my radar on the same day. All while I've been journalling about my own creative process in an attempt to receive better and create more freely.

[SpaceCafeNewsMusicComedy]

I am glad Rick is coming out in the internet age, I found a deep respect listening to this man & hope to read that book soon. Rubin ain't no fool in...

[beatricetrezevant]

I listened to the book on Audible while painting in my studio. It’s the most inspiring work I’ve listened to in a long time! Just love the concepts, will listen to this book over and over!!!

[themindunset]

Two of my favorite voices talking about magic. It's nearly impossible to explain how these men do what they do but god it's fun listening to them try. I learn something every time.

[ryangunwitch-black]

I realized pretty early on that there was a common thread between most of my favorite music before I was even out of high school. That common thread was Rick Rubin. He was the first producer I followed the way I follow certain artists. I hope to work with him sooner than later.

[el_ambient_dude]

Anybody who is commenting God bless you. Some amazing conversation about rational thought. Music is such conduit of possibilities that has taken me on a personal journey. As an artist I love creative work and how it just comes to me!

[scottyreifsnyder]

My goodness Rich uses the word apocryphal at the 1:11:45 mark like ppl use it in conversation everyday. It means a story or statement of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true. Love you Rich for making us not only healthier but keeping us smart!

[itisdeagle]

Rubin. Always great. As for rich, he's gotta tone down the controlling ego.

[krazywabbit]

Thank you for allowing us to hear more of Rick speak. I listened to another conversation and had to stop as I was hearing more of the host. Well done.

[lydiarowe]

Always so good to listen to Rick Ruben…giving creativity a high pedestal of being whatever it needs to be when it is produced..thank you both.❤

[thornburymatthew]

Another straight GOLD podcast. Amazing, bad ass people on here Rich. Keep it up, man. I get so much out of every interview. Just super amazing people.

[velocitygirl]

Every interview with Rick the interviewers always end up seeking his … encouragement . It’s very sweet.
