When you want something, it's hard. And it doesn't always go the way that you want it to.

But ultimately, the value of really chasing after something that's important to you kind

I am super excited to have my buddy Rich Roll on the podcast with me today. We first

taped a conversation, yeah, man, it's probably like almost five years back when we were filming

the original video series for Good Life Project. And it was a really big deep dive into

like a hundred new pages. It's almost like an entire new book. You can go check it out

now, but I want to sit down with Rich because the story that hasn't been told really all

the original. And that honestly is maybe more compelling, more powerful, a bigger disruption

than what came before it. I had Rich's wife Julie Payette on a little while back, which

is another fantastic conversation. We'll link to both Rich's earlier one and Julie's. And

I really wanted to dive into sort of Rich's experience of the last chunk of years. We

cover so many different topics. He is beautifully open, transparent, and vulnerable. I think

you're really going to enjoy this conversation. I'm Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life
