Summary

Roll On returns! Just in time for the holiday gauntlet. Adam Skolnick and I unpack three questions the season demands: how to navigate family gatherings when the same dynamics play out like clockwork, what rock bottom actually means (hint: it's a launchpad for transformation, not a life sentence), and why I've traded rigid goals for something more like trajectory. We get into the superpower of extreme neutrality, why everyone is right from their perspective, and morning pages as the unlock you didn't know you needed. We also celebrate Adam's debut novel “American Tiger”—finally out in the world! Last but not least, we crown our favorite films of 2025.

I got news for you. The holidays are coming and with them all these questions kind of start swirling in our minds about what we're going to give people that we care about.

0:10.0

And honestly, it's really hard because most gifts just end up forgotten somewhere.

0:15.0

But the gifts that actually do get used are the ones that make someone want to use them.

0:20.0

And On does exactly that with their incredible

0:22.3

line of high quality running and hiking gear. Shoes like the Cloud Ultra for trails, the Cloud Runner 2

0:27.8

for roads, the club hoodie for recovery days, hiking stuff for exploring nature in the mountains,

0:33.8

and even accessories like performance socks, caps, hydration packs, backpacks, and travel bags that work as amazing stocking stuffers.

0:42.1

So here's the thing. The real gift isn't the gear. It's what becomes possible when the gear gets out of the way.

0:49.3

Those early morning runs where your mind just clears that trail, you've been meeting to hike, that runner's high,

0:55.3

or that silence at the summit when everything just clicks.

Movement changes things. And sometimes all someone needs is the right gear to make movement

1:21.7

And that pattern is that the highest performers don't buy into the latest trendy hacks.

1:27.4

Instead, they obsess on what

1:29.6

actually works, which is always the unassuming basics. And there is nothing more basic than

1:35.3

hydration. But here's the kicker. Your body can't hold on to water without the right minerals.

1:40.8

Without them, water is just like this temporary visitor. But Element has cracked the

1:46.6

code on this, which is why I've been using it religiously for years, zero sugar, no artificial

1:52.2

junk, just sodium, potassium, and magnesium in the ratios that actually work. And look,

1:58.5

I'm not exactly crushing ultras right now, healing from this surgery,
