Summary

In this Positive University episode, Jon Gordon talks with Rich Roll about:

Achieving our full potential.
The importance of recognizing limiting beliefs, how we are often blind to them and what we can do to overcome them.
Why we need to embrace the moments of change in our lives, the times when we know enough is enough.
Doing the hard work.
Realizing that mood follows action.
Rich's journey from drugs and alcohol damaging his life to becoming sober at age 31, rebuilding his life and making a decision at almost age 40 to change his life physically (to then compete in his first Ultra Endurance race at age 42). - He's now 51.
The power of a plant-based diet.
