Thanks for having me Steven -- it was an honor and a privilege to share my story with your audience and enjoy the challenge of rising to the challenge of your curiosity and insight. Inspired by your mission and the professionalism of your team -- taking the podcast form to the next level. And to everyone here, I hope I brought some value to your day. In case I didn't succinctly articulate it during the conversation, my primary hope for you to takeaway is that change is possible. We are all capable of more than we imagine. And bringing expression to the more actualized self within is a process of paying attention to your intuition, and taking small actions based upon that daily. Make that commitment to yourself. Be patient and kind -- to yourself and others. And your life will change.🙏🏽✌🏽🌱

I met Rich 634 days ago... why do I know this? Because I was 12 days sober from alcohol addiction. I met Rich and had a mini AA meeting that lasted no more than 5 minutes at the side of a stage at a vegan convention in Vancouver. But in that 5 minutes Rich opened a door for me with the same type of conversational delivery style that he shares in this terrific and honest interview. I'm now sober 646 days... The addiction elevator was indeed going down and Rich helped me hit the stop button. For that I will forever be grateful. 🤟

It's so reassuring to know that massive change and success is still possible after 40. When you get to this age, it can feel like you missed the train. That's a big fear. But I got sober this year and am starting a new career. I hope others here have a positive takeaway for their life!

I started doing 100 mile plus bicycle rides in the mountains of Japan in my 60s. Like you, I found I could barely climb the stairs, which gave me the incentive. I did my biggest ride at the age of 67, 208kms and 4012ms of altitude in one day.

30 days sober and taking it one day at a time! 70 years old and didn’t want alcohol to rob me of the potential for fulfillment during what likely is the end stage of my wonderful life! I want to go “out” forward not backward!

[hamorhage]

"If you can't sit silently with yourself with your thoughts, then you are not living an intentional, examined life - Rumination and boredom, it is the juice of creativity - Protect your boredom and quiet time."
This really connected with me, I often blame work for stealing my time and energy, but the truth is I am doing that myself by not scheduling some time aside to be quiet and bored.

[annmarinas]

Oh my gosh! I was screaming when I saw this pop up in my feed. Rich Roll is one of the great guiding light for going away from addiction, reinventing yourself and showing how capable you are no matter what age you are in. Thank you so much Steve, for doing this episode!

I am a 48 y.o. hungarian woman/wife/mother living in Germany.
I love Rich and I love Steven.
This conversation was amazing.
I cried at some point.
Will watch again i am sure.

[carolinemarie]

One podcast I will rerun and literally make notes and praying at the same time. This to me is spiritual. You can't listen to the discussion only once and be able to inculcate the richness of the discussion. This is soul food. From South Africa

“When the pain experienced by the addict becomes more unbearable than the fear of change, that was where willingness is born.” That is so powerful! I was given this gift a desperation 4 months ago and I’m so grateful!

[richking]

You gotta love richo, he’s so calm and soothing, he speaks so well his, word selection is phenomenal

[joannerossi]

And here it is finally. My two favourite podcast hosts with the most interesting interviewing techniques and most compassionate souls together. I’m strapped to my chair ready to watch.

[jonathonperino]

I wish my late brother had heard about Rich Roll as he was a heavy drinker from age 14 till he died at age 67 from cancer caused by drinking Ethanol 20% about a 1 ltr a day and spun our of control..A breif respite for 6 months in prison helped for a few months after he was released but fell off the wagon so quick and got even worse..We all tried to divert him but to no avail.. I hope other addicts get the message and try to fix their life.. Thanks for this interview.

[RichPakstys]

I absolutely admire Rich Roll. His transparency and mindset is the one that we should all strive to achieve. Super happy about this episode. Steven - you're the man.

[HCP-uxej]

The importance of having a ride or die supportive, life partner is emphasized here and is sadly lacking in society today. What a beautiful gift and powerful testimony!

[DanielDracott]

Basically at 1:05:26 Rich is describing how much society has been disconnected from the essence of joy and doing the things we love. I thought recently about the things I loved doing as a young person, glad to hear someone else talk about connecting again with things the were good at and enjoyed as a kid.

[AudJane]

Wow this is so good and I relate so much. On paper, I haven’t accomplished much. No career, no family, no home, no success, I feel I’ve wasted my 30s. And I’m sober, not addicted. I’m trying to recreate myself nearing the end of my 30s. Without being exhausted or defeated. I lost my mom, and feel lost. What’s next ? …. Great video. Thx . We are not alone

[kepler-b]

Very inspirational. Just remember everyone, you’re more than you think you can be. One day at a time and progress will be made, i promise you that. YOU GOT THIS 💪🙌
