Summary

Post-election thoughts. Managing stress and disagreement. Connecting to gratitude. Weekly wins. And, of course, listener questions. Welcome to another edition of Roll On. Commanding co-host duties as always is my hype man Adam Skolnick, an activist and veteran journalist perhaps best known as David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me co-author. Adam has written about adventure sports, environmental issues and civil rights for outlets such as The New York Times, Outside, ESPN, BBC, and Men’s Health. He is the author of One Breath and is currently hard at work on a novel. Some of the many topics explored in today’s conversation include: What can be learned from the life + death of Zappos’ Tony Hsieh; The unpredictability of happiness; The antitrust campaign to break up the tech behemoths; Rob Bell lessons on writing + self-love; Our growing adoration of ‘Feels Good Man’; and Celebrating grassroots environmental activism In addition, we answer the following listener questions: Is pursuing a more authentic life path an ego trip? How can a person with low self-esteem and avoidance discomfort develop more intimacy? Does endurance racing in your 50’s pose health risks? Thank you to Joe from northern New York, Seth from Wisconsin, and Michael from Boulder, CO. If you want your query discussed, drop it on our Facebook Page, or better yet leave a voicemail at (424) 235-4626. The visually inclined can watch our exchange on YouTube. And as always, the podcast streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Peace + Plants, Rich Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alright, Adam and I are back and once again it's time to take roll call.

0:28.0

We're back, we took a little bit of a forced hiatus. We're going to talk about that in a second,

0:32.8

but Adam, how you doing? Doing great, man. Feeling good, great to be back in the, in, well,

0:38.6

I don't want to step on the system. It's great to be in this particular room.

0:42.4

Yes. Right now. Yeah. Good to see you, my friend. Roll-On is resuming. Not only that,

0:49.4

we are in a brand new studio. This marks the debut of the Rich Roll Podcast HQ. I did record a

0:56.7

podcast the other day, but this is going to go up ahead of that. So I think officially this will

1:02.0

be the first podcast. Well, I know it will be the first podcast that everybody gets to see the new

1:08.0

space. So it's very, very grateful and excited about it. This is like, this is, it feels like home

1:14.1

already, doesn't it? It does. Yeah. What do you think? I love it, man. I mean, I remember you showed

1:19.6

me this space a few months ago. It's happened very quickly and maybe two months ago. Yeah, I mean,

1:25.0

we've been working on it for a while. It was well underway when you saw it for the first time,

1:28.8

but we did hit our stride and this final push. We got a lot done pretty quickly. So it's pretty

1:35.1

great. We got our boy, Davey over here. He's making a video that's going to take everybody behind

1:39.8

the scenes on, on the whole thing, which I'm pretty excited about. And it's amazing. Now we have our

1:45.2

own podcast headquarters. People don't realize like, well, maybe some people do, but you've gone

1:51.3

through, this is at least the fourth space that I know about that even functioning in five,

1:56.8

if you count two spaces or six, if you count three spaces up for it. Well, I mean, originally,

2:02.8

it just moved wherever the guest was. Like I was sort of a traveling salesman with the thing for,

2:07.6

for probably the vast majority of the history of the show. I mean, I would do them occasionally at

2:13.8

my house, but more often than not, even when they were in Los Angeles, I would go to the person's
