Summary

“Attraction always works better than promotion.” Rich Roll This episode features the audio from a live event I hosted this past summer at Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin with Stephen & David Flynn of The Happy Pear. Long-time listeners will well remember David and Stephen from #RRP 233, one of my most popular episodes of 2016. Since then the lads have made two subsequent appearances on the show in episodes 331 and 380. For those newer to the show, The Happy Pear are the joined-at-the-hip identical twin brothers behind a family run chain of natural food stores and cafés in Ireland as well as a line of organic, locally harvested plant-based food products available across the UK. The face and voice of Ireland's quickly growing healthy food revolution, the twins are omnipresent on social media and the bestselling authors behind a series of runaway smash-hit plant-based cookbooks, including The Happy Pear* (of course), World of the Happy Pear*, and their most recent release, The Happy Pear: Recipes for Happiness*. Today's exchange opens with an extended monologue on the power of decisions by your truly. Extends to embrace the innate power we all possess to change and grow. Pivots to the importance of community. And opens up to audience Q&A on everything from healthy eating habits to how best to catalyze change in others. I talk about the power of decisions. The importance of community. And the fact that we are all capable of positive change – and how to be a beacon to catalyze change in others. This event inspired me to host more live experiences. At home and beyond. If you're in favor me taking the show on the road, I'd love to hear from you. I sincerely hope you enjoy the listen. Peace + Plants, Rich Hosted on Acast.

0:00.0	Ultimately, self-care is the ultimate selfless act because when you invest in yourself, your own personal development,
0:08.6	your self-care, you then step into a better version of yourself because you cannot serve others
0:14.8	unless you serve yourself first. But we need to remember that we are a holistic organism.
0:20.9	There is no physical and mental. These things are integrantly intertwined.
0:25.8	That's me and this is the Retro podcast.
0:42.8	Hey people, how are you guys doing? What is happening? How are you? My name is Rich Roll.
0:46.2	I am your host. This is my podcast. Welcome or welcome back. Pull up a chair,
0:50.7	get comfortable, relax, which might be a little bit challenging if you can hear all that street
0:56.5	noise out there. I'm in New York City, so there's not much I can do about that. Delighted to be here,
1:02.8	doing all sorts of things, not the least of which are collecting a few amazing podcast conversations.
1:08.9	I just came from interviewing Yuval Noah Harari, who you may know as the author of Sapiens of
1:15.6	Homodeus and a brand new book that came out this week called 21 Lessons for the 21st century.
1:21.7	We had an amazing exchange. I also interviewed Knox Robinson, who is a runner and running coach.
1:30.2	He's the founder of a running collective here in New York City called Black Roses in New York City,
1:34.6	NYC. That was a really dynamic conversation about running culture. You have both of those
1:41.6	conversations to look forward to in the near future. Today's episode is lifted from a live event I
1:50.0	did when I was in Dublin this past summer with our good friends, Steven and David Flynn of the happy
1:55.2	pair. Now at this point, most of you are already quite familiar with these guys who are at the very
2:01.8	center, epicenter of Ireland and the UK's Healthy Food Movement. If you are new to the show, you can
2:07.9	listen to their previous appearances on the show in episodes 233, 331 and 380. I strongly urge you
2:16.8	to do so. This episode features a little bit more from me, including a bit of an impassioned
2:24.4	monologue up top and at the very end. And of course, some great wisdom from the twins and plenty of
