Currently 22, almost finished with college & feel like I’m having an identity crisis. It’s comforting to see someone like Jed explaining he felt the same way late into his 20s as well. He articulates his story so beautifully & it gives me hope that I still have so much time to chase my dreams too ♥️ This interview was lovely. Thank you!

[campbellstewart]

Squealed out loud with joy to see another Jed & Rich interview pop up this morning—WHAT A TREAT!!! Thanks Rich xx

[SamHornIntrigue]

Rich - thank you for setting ego aside and subsuming yourself in your interviews. They're never about you - they'll all about drawing your guests out, showcasing their stories and insights, and creating a "rising tide" ride conversation that elevates all involved. Your recent discussion with Jedidiah was a highlight. Especially the line, "Remember when you wanted what you have now." Yes, yes, I do. And I'm oh-so-grateful.

[lemmeseeyahipzswing]

The "problematic nature of finding your passion" section is exactly what I needed to hear. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
Love you Rich!

[margarett_b]

Truly an extraordinary conversation. It touched on my favourite topics but at the same time, touched the regions of my mind I have not worked on yet. Inspirational and uplifting, but at the same time "feet on the ground" which is something I appreciate a lot.
.
I know you rarely answer Rich but I am sure one in a few comments here is being read and that's the most important as I just want you to know how big of an impact you, your guests and your team have on the lives of your community. Lots of love for both of you guys!

[AnastasiaGika]

This podcast is a masterpiece!! Thank you from Greece!

[jodieyeakel]

Okay. NOW's the time to tell you how much being able to listen in on compelling conversations helps to grow the stamina needed to keep seeking and growing balance, meaning, and connection in this complicated world. Thank you!

[MrMattMcC]

I swear my body clock just knows when Rich posts at this point can't wait to listen to this on my bike ride later✌

[patriciathornburg]

I just wNt to say I’m the kind of person that takes time to say thank you once again for another fabulous podcast. I will purchase his book as you described it as being outstanding

[konstantin_na_kavkaze]

Hi Rich! I absolutely love your channel, guests and overall vibes. I just miss and hope to see more outdoorsy, outside training and day in the life videos, which, I believe, would spice up and bring more life to the channel.
Please thumbs up, so Rich can see it.

[teodorar.]

So excited to hear another interview with Jedidiah, I first discovered the Rich Roll Podcast when he was talking on the podcast about his first book - To Shake The Sleeping Self which is an amazing read.

[rschadjr]

Rich - Great idea to let your guest introduce themselves at the opening of the audio podcast. Hearing Jed this week say "this is the Rich Roll Podcast" was a welcome audible and puts them at the center. And of course Jed is awesome.

[lukefenwicklifecoach]

No bedtime for me in Melbourne....new pod just dropped and 11mins in...I am up for the rest!

[MelodyProsser]

The movie Away From Her was so good! Do yourself a favour and watch it. Just be prepared - it's a tearjerker!

[tme]

Awesome podcast. Loved the part discusses about a life’s purpose.

[anthonyfox]

So good!!! As a fellow Xenial/early millennial, I really resonated with idolatry of magnitude concept. Our generation is obsessed with finding purpose and making "an impact." My gen X wife frequently reminds me of this in order to contextualize and appreciate the great things I'm doing despite my inability to be satisfied.

[ACDCBCFamily]

I really enjoyed this conversation, and it compelled me to start reading Jed's first book.

[wraithofsolidarity]

1:35hr I browse the mental health and spiritual groups on FB. People are so kind on there, whereas, on Reddit, downvoting exists. Very few recognize FB's openness, in that regard and I worry Facebook will go down one day because of populism and the opposite who wish to slay it.

Groups like: Visionary Mental Health. Anxiety and Depression Support. Highly Sensitive People. Spiritual Wholesome Posting. Science, Philosophy and Psychology Discussion. There's millions of people in these groups and there's nothing like it on the internet.

[erinodonnell]

Honestly, I’ve been living with my bf and his family for a few years and I’m about to spend the next year living on my own and I am so excited. I love him but it’ll be nice to be able to explore the things I want to without having to worry about how it impacts someone else. I want to go plant based, I used to be lately plant based until I moved in with the people I did and I am excited to take that journey. I’ve wanted to for a long time but I’ve been talked out of it by other people who think it would be hard on them. There are other things too but that’s the big one for me.

[EntirelyHonest]

Another great podcast. Thanks a lot Rich. An interesting individual!
