Best one yet. It’s taken me 55 years to figure this out. And it’s so true. We don’t change until we can’t handle the pain anymore. And many never do it. They would rather play victim. Thank You for this. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.
RR is such a beautiful example of an evolved masculine man who’s not afraid to meet his emotional side with depth. I always enjoy listening to him and his wife is also a spiritual powerhouse. Those two together are magic! Thank you for having him on, great convo!
I reinvented myself after 7 years in the Marines, and now I’m doing it again after 11 years as an automotive technician, and I have about 7 years or so of school to reach my goal of becoming a nuclear physicist. It’s going to be a long reinvention this time around, but I think it’s well worth the work.
On a similar path after 7 years in the army and 3 years in automotive sales management. Transitioning to real estate for a better quality of life. Wishing you the best on your journey!
@@parasocialbondsmetaswvoits9078 I was told I'd never be a Marine, I did that. I thought I'd never be a good enough tech to reach Ferrari, I did that. Now I believe I CAN be a physicist, and I WILL DO THAT.
I am that guy that started late, my way in life, finding what I was meant to do. From joining the US Navy at 31 years of age. Went back to school to receive my degree. Started at running races in my mid to late 30s. Starting a podcast, social media stuff at my mid 40s, just released my first book this year, late 40s and being a HOKA ambassador for my city this year. Much gratitude
I'm reinventing myself right now. 39 years old first semester college student. Focusing more on myself, rather than pleasing others. I'm absolutely enjoying the Grit and Grind. It's hard, terrifying, intimidating, frustrating, but very rewarding. I'm going to have what I want one day. And that's rewarding just knowing I'm on my way to that place.
@@silentgarage7273 Thanks. It's worth it for what I want to do now. But it is definitely a change to the grind and routine of things. I hope you do go back. And get what it is you want in life.
Rich started at 31! Great time to start. I didn't start until I was 66 and many choices were not available any longer, and after I had caused a lot of damage to my children. I was never an alcoholic but there are conditions just as bad and much harder to spot.
I will be 70 on my next birthday and am in an intense period of growth and change. It has been very difficult and yet exciting. I am sometimes sad that I am learning a new perspective on life at such a late date in my life, but I am looking forward to where I'm headed. This is not my first adventure with personal growth. I find my periods of personal growth are the most fulfilling periods in my life. The difficulty with these periods is the initial period of agony that us the instigation
Thank you for posting this, I'm 56 and as I am working on reinventing myself, or trying to figure out who I am, I get hung up on how late in life and why I didn't do this at 25 . I heard something, you had to go through all this to prepare you for this, it was never wasted time.
Welcome to the club. I'm retired and having the time of my life. I've discovered Bitcoin and blockchain tech. Not enough hours in the day to digest this fast changing, exciting environment. Unfortunately family and friends think I've lost my marbles. I had to work at rewiring my mindset, unlearn the bs I carried with me for most of my life and make a disciplined approach at understanding money. I walk alone on this journey, except for the vibrant Bitcoin community online that are so generous in sharing their knowledge, especially to an old trout way past her use by date. I have no idea where this is taking me. Except that fiat is stacked against me and bitcoin gives me hope. I no longer despair.
This guy is SO articulate. I don’t comment very often but my jaw dropped at the chosen words he used. I can never seem to find the right words to explain this process, but he speaks so beautifully and raw about the truth in leveling up one’s life. As someone in recovery, he absolutely nails it! Thank you. ❤
There is so much truth that comes from honesty and vulnerability. I wrote my first book at 66. I've actually changed everything about my life in the past 10 years. You get to a sink or swim point. I chose to swim.
I absolutely adore Rich Roll. His articulation of his perspective is poetic and precise. While I cherish his podcast dearly, it is quite the treat when he is the one being interviewed.
I’ve followed Rich for many years now. He’s had a profound influence on my life. I collapsed inwards after a battle with the Big C. Now, I’m back, running and rowing. Before and after the battle, I’d always reinvented myself. There were days when I wanted to throw the towel in. I just gave myself a good talking to and luckily came out of the darkness. My lesson learnt was to avoid negative people or comments. It can be very lonely, but I trusted myself that everything will work out.
Man, Rich absolutely killed it in those last few minutes of the podcast. Such important words, so eloquently said! Those transformational moments are functions of the heart, not the intellect.
At 48, I'm six years into a total transformation. This podcast resonates with me - I've been experiencing a lot of the same dynamics. It takes a radical amount of pain to push you to the place where you rebuild your life in your 40's, but I'm grateful for the journey! I'm finally seeing the light at the end of this particular tunnel :)
One takeaway lesson from this is that we have to teach our children "TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE" and "LOVE YOURSELF". That is how I would have liked to be 'LOVED' not the success & progress road to burnout. There is so much here!!! Thank you so much for this talk. I'm going to listen to this again and again!
I’m 31 and 4 months sober and wake up questioning who I am and and how to bring my best self to the world every day. Im extremely educated and stuck in my head a lot and feel trapped at my upper echelon Scientist job. This episode HIT. Thanks so much to both of you for the mind and heart fuel. Will be listening to more Rich for sure!
I'm 31 and just quit my job in tech 2 months ago. Was scary to make the jump, and I'm anxious and scared now too. But I looked down the line of the next ten years and that job wasn't what I wanted in life I don't regret it at this stage at all. If you don't enjoy what your doing quit. Give yourself 6-12 months. You can always go back and you'll regret not doing it more than doing it.
Two of the best in the biz, but also the most real, insightful & helpful people on the planet. I couldn’t imagine if either of these two did NOT reinvent themselves. Such a gift.
Holy shit, 15 minutes in and I have to stop now so that I can continue tomorrow and give it my full attention. The amount of golden nuggets of life changing wisdom just being dropped is mind blowing. Most valuable 15 minutes of my life thus far. I cannot wrap my head around the previous statement.
What an amazing podcast! Here I am at 40, leaving everything behind to care for my little girl, getting back in shape, and stepping into the world of building something online. It’s nerve-wracking, and some days it feels like the momentum just isn’t there. But for me, it’s all about mindset. The journey is the reward, and age doesn’t limit me-my drive does. I’ve just started, embracing the uncertainty, trusting that everything will unfold as it should. The space is there for the taking, and I’m going for it.
49:40 man I'm in the park with my baby daughter on Tuesday morning, swinging her on the swing, being the only father here, having the exact same thoughts... it is powerful when you find people with the same struggles who then go on to achieve meaningful things, it's reassuring. Before I would occasionally find smth in books, but having my earphones and stumbling on it like this is much easier 😂. Thanks to both of you.
This was great!!! I am 59 years old, if we had access to what is available now when I was in my 20's and 30's and even teens. I feel as though I am only starting life in my 50's.
Rich Roll is fantastic - I only got into his podcast several months ago, and he just seems like a really genuine guy with some powerful life lessons who wants to help. So glad these two have connected.
I've been (and still am) a listener of Rich Roll podcasts for years, and that's one of the main things I love about him. Amazing conversation with two amazing human beings. Chris did a good job here, also.
This was great ! As a long time Rich Roll Podcast listener, he is always a great interviewer, but it’s easy to forget how much wisdom He has to offer when he is the one being interviewed.
42 years old, starting over in a new career, making sure I become the human I need to be. In accordance with what I think, what I say and what I do. Great episode!
My favorite Rich Roll interview to date. Thank you soooo much. I see your own wisdom colliding with the wisdom of your wife in a way that offers up your own, beautiful perspective of life, achievement and how to navigate this life. The world needs more of you. Much love and appreciation!
This is what I needed to hear tonight. I went 10 years without alcohol then i went back to it for a year but just quit a couple of weeks ago. Had it not been for prayers I dont know where i'd be. I spoke to a counselor last week and she noticed how i stayed sober for a decade thanks to jogging almost daily and then suddenly i had to drink in order to go jogging because of fear. I had gotten stabbed at a jogging trail and not only that but when the cops got there i was beaten too. I live in a small city in texas so it wasn't easy to think I had to protect myself from the bad guys and the "good guys." I totally admire the great guys in law enforcement and just because of a few bad apples I decided to forgive all that and just move on and contiue to give the good cops their props. As William Blake would say: "Forgiveness is my religion."
I am so horrified that happen to you. that you could survive it enough to go jogging again illuminates your strength. thank you for the sharing, your outlook is so commendable, and so rare
This is one of the most profound conversations I've listened to and I resonate a lot about your analogy of conserving energy. I've been burned out so much in my life and relate to your situations of pushing myself to the point of suffering. Thank you so much for helping me see there's a way to heal this!
This episode is SO good! Rich adroitly articulates how he’s learned to cope with the issues Chris highlights, many of the issues I struggle with. Namely the pain = success strategy I’ve adopted throughout my life as a professional skydiving competitor and podcast host. Rich also sheds penetrating light on his quote, “The prize doesn’t go to the fastest, it goes to the person who slows down the least,” which highly resonates with me. 10 out of 10 recommend!
I came across this podcast because I listen to Rich Roll’s podcast. I am not familiar with Chris Williamson . I’ve always felt that Rich Roll is authentic and a great person and thinker but with a wall up somehow, a distance between he and anything else. I think it’s mainly because of the delivery- measured, presented by strings of impressive vocabulary words and beautifully crafted sentences. Like poetry. But Rich Roll,, in this conversation for the first time, I see that wall down. He’s more real and likable than I’ve ever seen him and I like him! What a great conversation. This gem of a podcast is the reason I’ll subscribe to this channel and share this podcast with people I care about.
This came out at the perfect time. I couldn't stop myself from clicking fast enough. I'm always changing but I am choosing to reinvent myself more purposefully to make my way into this next life chapter.
This episode really hit home. I'm realizing more and more than outside my wife I don't have an "intellectual connection" in my very small friend group. This podcast gives me space to listen, think, and explore ideas I otherwise wouldn't be able to. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you Chris! As another young guy in his mid twenties i felt alone since i started my journey on becoming better , and since listening to you my love for knowledge started to reawaken, and by seeing you wanting to learn more from other ppl, I feel like i kinda found someone else who thinks like me and its truly make me feel like less ' weird' and alone. Keep it up and let my learn beside you. :)
You can’t change yourself, you can only pursue The Good and allow it to overcome your life. This goodness is personal, alive, and created the universe to meet you.
I always took educational Risks, I never told many ppl until I did it. 2024 new life & moving far from family who are negative & unsupportive. I don’t kno exactly where I’m goin but I can’t wait to get there!!! 🌎
I love how the world has become, I love that I can be from a totally different background and ethnicity but be exposed to such incredible information. Thank you so much for consistently inspiring us Chris🤝🏽 and thanks to Rich for being so open
Rich's Questions @1:35:57, thought it would be helpful for anyone interested in exploring these. 1. What's important to you? 2. What are your values? 3. What is the quality of relationships that you have? 4. Where were you six months ago and where did you think you would be now? Does it line up, if not, why did not it line up? 5. What's the missing piece in your life? 6. What's the thing that brought you joy as a kid that you've pushed aside? 7. What is the most uncomfortable conversation that you've been running away from in your entire life? Do you have the courage to engage with it now? 8. Are you willing to put in the work and put in work to pull another layer of on who you are?
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
The professionals presently control the market since they not only have the essential business strategy but also have access to inside information that the general public is not aware of.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.
Vivian Jean Wilhelm is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

It really struck a chord with me when Chris brought up wanting a friend group that you’re attracted to but they don’t reciprocate. I’m searching out another church and that is one of two reasons why. I am in my 60s but have the energy & interests & personality of someone in their 40s. However, i have never been able to break into that age group of friends in my church. And, I even teach their kids in children’s church so we do have a common bond in that, too. The 70ish crowd has open arms for me, but I feel so out of place with them.
No offense but what makes you think that changing churches is going to make a difference? I have moved a lot as an adult. Communities tend to be stamped with a certain personality. I am in a similar situation trying to find intellectual friends who want to talk about something other than doggie day care and children's poetry. I seriously want to go in the bathroom and gouge out my eyes with a dull stick. Carry on and let us know how it turns out.
Rich has a great laugh, has the typical answers framing on lock down. Shows testament to the highest things he learned and learned from his own guests. It was good to hear Chris grill some intresting scenarios. Thanks guys!
I reinvented myself 6 years ago when I got sober after almost drinking myself to death. It takes years. My old self wouldn’t even recognize the new me.
Amazing guest thank you for this podcast! Trying to better myself and as someone in my early 30s it’s encouraging to see how much Rich has managed to achieve when as he says he only got himself together at 31.
thats when he started, results take a while. for me i started at 25, im 28 and much has improved but not enough. i spent time trying things out to see what sticks and what direction i want to go career wise, only a year ago i found it after trying things and figuring out they werent for me. yet i still havent gotten a career in it, ive been looking for a job for the past few months and the economy isnt helping. Just have to endure and keep grinding, i almost feel like my life is on pause, i stopped going out and live like a monk now. but its what is necessary, and i have to succeed there is no other option. I wish i started earlier, my late teens and early twenties was wasted by drugs and being a degen
Damn guys. This is exactly what what I needed today. After five years and 700 episodes of the Think Unbroken podcast I'm so excited to take a much needed break. Rich pointed it perfectly... People really don't understand what it takes to make a podcast great. Appreciate you guys. Looking forward to seeing you soon
@MichaelUnbroken....I think Shawn Ryan took about five years before he exploded. The Shawn Ryan Show has been growing exponentially during the past six months, close to 2 million subs.
@@ross2812 I love that. Yeah you know we’ll do those numbers this year and it’s just about showing up every week. I’ll have to check out that show. I haven’t heard of it.
This episode has resonated with me deeply. Going through a very difficult period in my life which has resulted in hitting rock bottom and realising the need/beginning the journey of change. Thank you for this conversation Chris and Rich. I wish I was able to convey how sincerely appreciative I am and how this episode has come to me at the right moment in my life to also fully appreciate it.
Fuk that shit. Keep that hope strong n keep pushing. We need you in this life. We need u to get it together. 1 at a time. No competition, no comparison. Your journey your way. U got this.👏🏼
SUCH an incredible episode! But, really, they ALL are! I love these conversations. I love these topics. Thank you for creating!!! Thank you for your content! 🙏
I don’t believe that we are at our cote seeking worldly or external validation, I think it’s self validation that we truly seek. A recognition that this entire game of life was only ever about you and YOU.
I feel like this is what separates people who are always stressed out and run down from people who are not always stressed out and run down. If there is an easier way to do something, then do it. Just because stress is a primary motivator in almost everything we do, does not mean that without stress we have not done the best job that we can. In fact, as Rich alluded to, we often times do a better job when we are not under stress. Stress is a great motivator yes, but we engage in stress too often. Use it on the front end of things to get something started, but use other intrinsic motivators to keep going, primarily the feeling of success.
Wonderful timing for me as a 34 year old man out of a year long program, starting over, divorced and redefining my career... looking at what health looks like (all around) and my moral compass.
That was an exceptional , brilliant and remarkable interview .I felt every word Rich Roll uttered. I admire the sincerity and depth of his knowledge. Thank you deeply chris 🙏
Truly exceptional episode. And as you said, one can feel every single word, I think a testament to the wisdom, depth of knowledge & authenticity. What it really means to live an examined life. Every bit of this episode resonates so deeply!
Me a 12-stepper who’s been listening to this advice for literally years in the rooms and today still acting like I’ve never heard it 😮… Here’s another freebie adage from recovery. “Progress not perfection”
This was so good! Our gold!! I shared this quote with my very small circle “life needs to move forward but it only makes sense in reverse”….that hit me! Then I listened to the full podcast in the gym! So damn good!
Thanks for this. This episode touch me deeply. Going through a rough time in life because i keep making old mistakes through lust and indiscipline. All my relationship have been ruined and the few people that i had in my corner have bailed.
Best one yet. It’s taken me 55 years to figure this out. And it’s so true. We don’t change until we can’t handle the pain anymore. And many never do it. They would rather play victim.
Thank You for this. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.

I could listen to Rich Roll articulate his observations all day. What a lovely soul ❤️

remember to enjoy the journey. good luck man

42 years old, starting over in a new career, making sure I become the human I need to be. In accordance with what I think, what I say and what I do. Great episode!
Exactly. I'm 43 n working to rewire my thinking n understanding. Be better n be more fulfilled. Wish u all the best
40 y/o here. I think I’m going desperate to do this. What from/to? How?
My favorite Rich Roll interview to date. Thank you soooo much. I see your own wisdom colliding with the wisdom of your wife in a way that offers up your own, beautiful perspective of life, achievement and how to navigate this life. The world needs more of you. Much love and appreciation!
Hey, thank you so much for lifting people's spirits up. Means much more than you realize Rich.
This is what I needed to hear tonight. I went 10 years without alcohol then i went back to it for a year but just quit a couple of weeks ago. Had it not been for prayers I dont know where i'd be.
I spoke to a counselor last week and she noticed how i stayed sober for a decade thanks to jogging almost daily and then suddenly i had to drink in order to go jogging because of fear. I had gotten stabbed at a jogging trail and not only that but when the cops got there i was beaten too. I live in a small city in texas so it wasn't easy to think I had to protect myself from the bad guys and the "good guys." I totally admire the great guys in law enforcement and just because of a few bad apples I decided to forgive all that and just move on and contiue to give the good cops their props. As William Blake would say: "Forgiveness is my religion."
sorry you had to go through that. your mindset is commendable 🤜🤛
I am so horrified that happen to you. that you could survive it enough to go jogging again illuminates your strength. thank you for the sharing, your outlook is so commendable, and so rare
I have heard the name Rich Roll, but I've never heard the individual. Thank you, Chris, for putting this man on your podcast.
This is one of the most profound conversations I've listened to and I resonate a lot about your analogy of conserving energy. I've been burned out so much in my life and relate to your situations of pushing myself to the point of suffering. Thank you so much for helping me see there's a way to heal this!
This episode is SO good! Rich adroitly articulates how he’s learned to cope with the issues Chris highlights, many of the issues I struggle with. Namely the pain = success strategy I’ve adopted throughout my life as a professional skydiving competitor and podcast host.
Rich also sheds penetrating light on his quote, “The prize doesn’t go to the fastest, it goes to the person who slows down the least,” which highly resonates with me. 10 out of 10 recommend!
It's long, but it's worth watching. I need this video badly.
Rich, you are so damn articulate ...and humble. Thank you for being such a fine example of a human coming from his soul and not his ego❤
We love how raw and honest you are Rich Roll. You Are Absolutely AWESOMENESS oxo
I came across this podcast because I listen to Rich Roll’s podcast. I am not familiar with Chris Williamson .
I’ve always felt that Rich Roll is authentic and a great person and thinker but with a wall up somehow, a distance between he and anything else. I think it’s mainly because of the delivery- measured, presented by strings of impressive vocabulary words and beautifully crafted sentences. Like poetry.
But Rich Roll,, in this conversation for the first time, I see that wall down. He’s more real and likable than I’ve ever seen him and I like him! What a great conversation. This gem of a podcast is the reason I’ll subscribe to this channel and share this podcast with people I care about.
Waaah, I needed to hear this. Don't back down before the miracle. I believe my miracle is just around the corner
Rich roll is a legend
Another excellent discussion. Thank you, Chris! Please more of Rich Roll too 😊
This came out at the perfect time. I couldn't stop myself from clicking fast enough. I'm always changing but I am choosing to reinvent myself more purposefully to make my way into this next life chapter.
This episode really hit home. I'm realizing more and more than outside my wife I don't have an "intellectual connection" in my very small friend group. This podcast gives me space to listen, think, and explore ideas I otherwise wouldn't be able to. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you Chris!
As another young guy in his mid twenties i felt alone since i started my journey on becoming better , and since listening to you my love for knowledge started to reawaken, and by seeing you wanting to learn more from other ppl, I feel like i kinda found someone else who thinks like me and its truly make me feel like less ' weird' and alone. Keep it up and let my learn beside you. :)
You can’t change yourself, you can only pursue The Good and allow it to overcome your life. This goodness is personal, alive, and created the universe to meet you.
I always took educational Risks, I never told many ppl until I did it. 2024 new life & moving far from family who are negative & unsupportive. I don’t kno exactly where I’m goin but I can’t wait to get there!!! 🌎
Thanks for featuring my favorite podcast hero, the amazing Rich Roll!! Great interview.
Rich roll one of the OG podcasters!!!
I love Rich’s articulation on the birth and life cycle of addiction, and the effects it has on the addict. Pretty much spot on 👌
I love how the world has become, I love that I can be from a totally different background and ethnicity but be exposed to such incredible information. Thank you so much for consistently inspiring us Chris🤝🏽 and thanks to Rich for being so open
Rich's Questions @1:35:57, thought it would be helpful for anyone interested in exploring these.
1. What's important to you?
2. What are your values?
3. What is the quality of relationships that you have?
4. Where were you six months ago and where did you think you would be now? Does it line up, if not, why did not it line up?
5. What's the missing piece in your life?
6. What's the thing that brought you joy as a kid that you've pushed aside?
7. What is the most uncomfortable conversation that you've been running away from in your entire life? Do you have the courage to engage with it now?
8. Are you willing to put in the work and put in work to pull another layer of on who you are?
Love it! "It's not about fast. It's about the ability to conserve. To mete out your energy."
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
The professionals presently control the market since they not only have the essential business strategy but also have access to inside information that the general public is not aware of.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.
Your advisor must be really good. How I can get in touch? My retirement portfolio's decline is a concern, and I could use some guidance.
Vivian Jean Wilhelm is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
It really struck a chord with me when Chris brought up wanting a friend group that you’re attracted to but they don’t reciprocate. I’m searching out another church and that is one of two reasons why. I am in my 60s but have the energy & interests & personality of someone in their 40s. However, i have never been able to break into that age group of friends in my church. And, I even teach their kids in children’s church so we do have a common bond in that, too. The 70ish crowd has open arms for me, but I feel so out of place with them.
No offense but what makes you think that changing churches is going to make a difference? I have moved a lot as an adult. Communities tend to be stamped with a certain personality. I am in a similar situation trying to find intellectual friends who want to talk about something other than doggie day care and children's poetry. I seriously want to go in the bathroom and gouge out my eyes with a dull stick. Carry on and let us know how it turns out.
Ive lived all over the world. Usually moving isn’t the key to change. But I wish you all the best.
Have you ever asked any of them out for a coffee/ bite to eat?
I was thinking maybe you had exhausted the list of people worth interviewing on this topic, but no, this was great. Thanks Chris!
Rich Roll is such and inspiration. So cool to have him on your podcast!
Love the vulnerability of both of you guys and also the strength that comes emanating through that. Awesome episode! As pretty much always
This is a next-level conversation full of important life lessons...I will keep returning...Thank you both!
Rich has a great laugh, has the typical answers framing on lock down. Shows testament to the highest things he learned and learned from his own guests. It was good to hear Chris grill some intresting scenarios. Thanks guys!
O mg god chris ,come on I can't imagine surviving without your podcast .thankful and grateful to God for having you on you tube ❤love u
I reinvented myself 6 years ago when I got sober after almost drinking myself to death. It takes years. My old self wouldn’t even recognize the new me.
Amazing guest thank you for this podcast! Trying to better myself and as someone in my early 30s it’s encouraging to see how much Rich has managed to achieve when as he says he only got himself together at 31.
thats when he started, results take a while. for me i started at 25, im 28 and much has improved but not enough. i spent time trying things out to see what sticks and what direction i want to go career wise, only a year ago i found it after trying things and figuring out they werent for me. yet i still havent gotten a career in it, ive been looking for a job for the past few months and the economy isnt helping. Just have to endure and keep grinding, i almost feel like my life is on pause, i stopped going out and live like a monk now. but its what is necessary, and i have to succeed there is no other option. I wish i started earlier, my late teens and early twenties was wasted by drugs and being a degen
Damn guys. This is exactly what what I needed today. After five years and 700 episodes of the Think Unbroken podcast I'm so excited to take a much needed break. Rich pointed it perfectly... People really don't understand what it takes to make a podcast great. Appreciate you guys. Looking forward to seeing you soon
@MichaelUnbroken....I think Shawn Ryan took about five years before he exploded. The Shawn Ryan Show has been growing exponentially during the past six months, close to 2 million subs.
@@ross2812 I love that. Yeah you know we’ll do those numbers this year and it’s just about showing up every week. I’ll have to check out that show. I haven’t heard of it.
But did you actually walk the talk and take a break!!??
This episode has resonated with me deeply. Going through a very difficult period in my life which has resulted in hitting rock bottom and realising the need/beginning the journey of change. Thank you for this conversation Chris and Rich. I wish I was able to convey how sincerely appreciative I am and how this episode has come to me at the right moment in my life to also fully appreciate it.
Fuk that shit. Keep that hope strong n keep pushing. We need you in this life. We need u to get it together. 1 at a time. No competition, no comparison. Your journey your way. U got this.👏🏼
@@twonrichpo1126💪 1 month on and I’m doing better!
OUTSTANDING!! Two of my favorite pod hosts getting DEEP into the soup!! Thanks Chris & Rich!!
Mannnn. What a pod. Rich is so great, and I think seeing him interviewed you Chris was a perfect contrasting conversation. Love this.
First time on the channel. First time hearing Rich. This is one of the best things I’ve watched in years.
SUCH an incredible episode! But, really, they ALL are!
I love these conversations. I love these topics. Thank you for creating!!! Thank you for your content!
🙏
I don’t believe that we are at our cote seeking worldly or external validation, I think it’s self validation that we truly seek. A recognition that this entire game of life was only ever about you and YOU.
Chris is wise beyond his years. So introspective about life and his thoughts and actions. You are a legend. Cheers from an American living in Spain.
Rich, you are such a cool human being. I just adore you and really enjoy listening to you. Thanks for sharing your story
It is so relatable for those going through the same, made you sit back and watch it. Heart to heart conversation, raw real andamazing
Wow,
Im in that described changing phase and Jesus, everything these guys say is so spot on.
Nothing is about this comfortable.
Love how Rich turned this whole episode on him. Masterclass
This was a fantastic conversation! So much wisdom and Vulnerability!
I listened to this podcast on Spotify, and I can say that this was one of the best podcasts I've ever listened too!
There is only 1 word to describe this interview. WOW. Have to watch, listen to this several times to be sure I don't miss one word. Awesome.
I feel like this is what separates people who are always stressed out and run down from people who are not always stressed out and run down. If there is an easier way to do something, then do it. Just because stress is a primary motivator in almost everything we do, does not mean that without stress we have not done the best job that we can. In fact, as Rich alluded to, we often times do a better job when we are not under stress. Stress is a great motivator yes, but we engage in stress too often. Use it on the front end of things to get something started, but use other intrinsic motivators to keep going, primarily the feeling of success.
Great podcast. I've been a massive fan of Rich Roll and also David Goggins for many years. A pair of absolute legends.
This is one of the podcasts that will stick in my mind, and I'm going to listen to it every day. It was an amazing conversation.
Bloody awesome mate! Thank you Rich. Very well said mate. Legend
Wonderful timing for me as a 34 year old man out of a year long program, starting over, divorced and redefining my career... looking at what health looks like (all around) and my moral compass.
Glad to have come across this conversation with Rich Roll. Absolutely fantastic job!
this is prolly my fav pod of all time...
Thank you for the conversation gentleman, learned a lot and look forward to applying the lessons in my own life.
I wish I had people like this in my life I could talk to. I appreciate the conversation gentlemen. Tons to think about. 🙏🏼
Man I love Rich Rolls podcast, Thanks Chris for bringing him🥂
I love this podcast and have listed to it several times, it's one of my favourites. Rich and Chris share such pearls of wisdom 🙏
That was an exceptional , brilliant and remarkable interview .I felt every word Rich Roll uttered. I admire the sincerity and depth of his knowledge. Thank you deeply chris 🙏
Truly exceptional episode. And as you said, one can feel every single word, I think a testament to the wisdom, depth of knowledge & authenticity. What it really means to live an examined life. Every bit of this episode resonates so deeply!
Me a 12-stepper who’s been listening to this advice for literally years in the rooms and today still acting like I’ve never heard it 😮…
Here’s another freebie adage from recovery. “Progress not perfection”
Very few life changing podcasts. This is one of them though. Addicted to this one.
This was so good! Our gold!! I shared this quote with my very small circle “life needs to move forward but it only makes sense in reverse”….that hit me! Then I listened to the full podcast in the gym! So damn good!
Thanks for this. This episode touch me deeply. Going through a rough time in life because i keep making old mistakes through lust and indiscipline. All my relationship have been ruined and the few people that i had in my corner have bailed.
