The Rich Roll Podcast

Don't aim to be the best. Aim to be the only.

Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast. Today I'm speaking with Kevin Kelly, a true pioneer in the world of technology and media.

Here to help us make better sense of our confusing presence and to share an admittedly optimistic gaze into the future.

In the end it's only going to be the optimist who are going to shape our culture. So you want to be on the side of the optimist to make your vision possible.

Kevin is the co-founder of Wired Magazine, widely recognized as the Bible of the digital age.

He's also a renowned futurist and author, a public speaker, whose insights into the world of technology and its impact on society have been widely sought after and deeply, deeply influential.

Over the course of his career, Kevin has authored several seminal books, including Out of Control, the new biology of machines, social systems and the economic world, and what technology wants.

He has also been a prolific writer and commentator on a wide range of subjects related to technology, culture and society, and has been a regular contributor to publications including The New York Times, The Economist and Scientific American.

In today's conversation, Kevin shares a hopeful vision of the future of technology and how it will continue to transform our lives and transform our world for the better.

In addition, we discuss Kevin's latest book, which is called Excellent Advice for Living Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier, and the book, as predicted, is excellent.

But first, let's acknowledge the awesome organizations that make this show possible.

We're brought to you today by Momentus, Performance-focused Solutions and Supplements formulated with the highest quality, researched, backed ingredients.

I believe in the power and the importance of responsible nutrition supplementation, because no matter how much you think you have your diet dialed, chances are, and for most people, a comprehensive blood work panel is going to reveal deficiencies.

But because the supplement world isn't exactly highly regulated, finding a trustworthy brand can be a challenge, and a non-negotiable key for me is ensuring the products that I consume are scientifically backed and objectively tested with expert credibility.

And so after an extensive period of due diligence and self-experimentation, I can safely and proudly say that Momentus is doing it right.

A world-leading provider of best-in-class human performance products for sleep, focus, and cognition, as well as hormone support, brain health, and longevity.

These guys are setting the bar super high with a wide and continuously expanding line of products designed by industry leading experts and performance leaders in the NFL, the NBA, the MLB, NHL, and the NCAA.

Why Momentus? Well, what stands out, what I appreciate most about Momentus, is the rigor that they invest in all their products, all prioritized to help everyone perform better in a variety of ways and disciplines.

And their emphasis on making it easier for plant-based people to optimize their diets.

The vegan protein powder is top notch, a proven blend of two high-end ingredients, pea and rice proteins that have been carefully selected to provide the full range of amino acids with a taste and texture that goes great with my post-workout smoothie.

I've also been super impressed with their sleep pack, which essentially primes your body for sleep with magnesium, L3 and 8, Apigenin, and Ltheanine, a potent and effective combination I've come to incorporate into my sleep routine.
