Welcome to episode 61 of The Rich Roll Podcast, with Khalil Rafati.

The Rich Roll Podcast, plant power.

Hey everybody, Rich Roll here. Welcome to The Rich Roll Podcast. Thanks for tuning in.

What do we do here? Each week I bring to you the best and the brightest minds in health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, and just generally living your best life.

I have one goal with this show, which is to help you unlock and unleash your best most authentic self.

So I've had world-class athletes on, I've had doctors, nutritionists, world-class athletes. Did I already say that? All kinds of people, entrepreneurs, artists, spiritualists.

What else? Anyway, I cast a wide net. Lots of people. The only requirement is if you are an example of living your best life.

If you have information that I feel is important to share with you guys so that you can take that information and use what works for you, discard the rest, so that you can make the best decisions about how to live your life, how to be the healthiest you can, the most fit you can, the most present, the most dialed in actualized version of yourself.

So today on the show I have an amazing guest, a man that I am very proud to call my friend. His name is Kaleel Verfaudi.

Police Kaleel Verfaudi, I've never heard of this guy. Of course you haven't. He's not a celebrity. He's not anybody famous.

But he is a guy with an amazing remarkable story. Somebody who is sunk to the depths of despair and has risen like a Phoenix from the ashes to be an incredible example of the

resiliency of the human body and the human spirit as well as a remarkable example of living a healthy actualized tapped in life and somebody who is of extraordinary service to his fellow man.

I love this guy. I'm really a better person for having him in my life and I've been wanting to share his story so badly on the show for quite some time.

He's a super busy guy, almost impossible to pin down and I just literally harassed him over the last week until I just compelled him to sit down for five minutes so I could talk to him.

He is the proprietor, the founder, the CEO or the, I don't know, chairman of the board. I don't know what you would call it.

Of some life organics, what is some life organics? It is an organic juice bar in Malibu in the point doom section of Malibu.

And you might be asking yourself, well, some guy owns a juice bar is going to be on the podcast and what can what can this guy possibly have to offer.

But please reserve judgment because I guarantee you his story is going to blow your mind and some life organics is much more than just a juice bar.

In Malibu, it has really become the epicenter of all things healthy in our community. It's become a place of congregation where everybody who's kind of interested in living healthy, getting better, tapping into a better version of themselves seems to congregate and Khalil is sort of the host with the most.

He's the ringleader. He has a very dynamic contagious personality, very infectious and what he's been able to create the community that he's been able to create around around his organization is nothing short of remarkable.

And his story is extraordinary. On the show we have talked in the past about addiction and recovery. It hasn't been a big focus of the show.

But I think the last time we really kind of dug into it is when I had my friend, Mishka Shubali on the show and that was a really popular episode where we kind of tapped into kind of the demons of addiction and the process of recovery and kind of what it entails.
