Thanks for all the supportive comments everyone -- it really does mean so much to me. This is a ton of work for me but also incredibly gratifying creatively so its super cool that you are enjoying the content. I wish I had the bandwidth to do it every day but it's just not possible and I don't want to put out a video just to put out a video. I will do my best to remain consistent although again, no promises on frequency. Most appreciated!!! Peace + Plants, Rich
+Rich Roll I've got one piece of feedback: Stop apologizing for not being daily! Or apologizing for video quality or editing. We love your crap because you're you! Not because you do one every day or because your editing is slick. Other than the apologies, your stuff is great!
I'm digging the new vlogs, +Rich Roll! I've made quite a few videos and have ideas about how you can vlog more without breaking the bank and keeping sane. I'll DM you Keep up the great work! Mike
Brilliant little gem there in 'stay out of the results', Rich....we run into this in horse training all.the.time.....training for the result only and missing the beauty of the creation of a relationship with the horse in each moment---so much is missed if that is the path. Thanks for the vlogs....really enjoying them (en-joy...finding the joy in).
A close friend sent me "Let's Talk About Meditation" about 3 months ago. Since then, I have watched "Why You Shouldn't Hack Your Life," have been reading Finding Ultra, listening to your podcast, and watching the vlogs. I'm really not trying to be the Rich Roll superfan here, just organically drawn to everything you have been putting out there. I really appreciate the authenticity, creativity, and appreciation of the journey. Many thanks from Austin, TX amigo!
+Dann Petty thanks so much Dann - your example is what really motivated me to finally JUST BEGIN! Don't know how you manage to put out an awesome video every day but keep going -- I am really enjoying them.
Dude. That last segment hit me like rock to the head. I'm an indie musician and I recently quit my band as a drummer to go do this singer songwriter thing that I'm really passionate about and it feels like the right thing to do. But you never know what's gonna happen, its insecure and hard financially at the moment. I'm never ever giving up though and even if I will have to live in my one bed room apartment forever I don't care. I'm gonna show up for it and do my best. You changed my life to the better with your podcasts. Love you Rich Roll.
Rich, You are really getting the hang of this vlogging thing. You have been a big influence on me. I got sober in September 2005. I read your book when it came out and the timing was perfect for me as I was just starting to explore a vegan diet. You are making a difference. Thanks, man. Lyle in Austin
You are so inspiring to me because you have traveled so far down the path of self improvement that you make it seem possible for the rest of us to do the same. Because of this, you have more to give to your followers than the vast majority of other vloggers. You have taught me so much during your short time vlogging and i hope you never stop. The work you do on the podcast and in the vlogs is so important. Never stop, We need you.
Hey Rich, I just got finished reading you're book and was very inspired by it! So much so that I was looking for more content! I am glad to see you are producing these V-Logs! I appreciate that you show us your vulnerable side when talking about allowing yourself to fail and that not all the "woo-woo" comes so naturally to you because it allows your views to relate. Keep on inspiring!
Rich - I love your stuff and was vegan for three months because of you, (will return to it once I live on my own and can buy my own food). Also I should say that I got a DWI back in August of last year, and I know it's kind of dorky but you're one of the people I look up to as a role model of someone who bounced back in a big way after a DWI. I'm almost a year sober. Great work on these vlogs, the effort shows! Very cool to see all these inspirational people you surround yourself with as well. Hope you're having a great week!
Rich I just loved this VLog so much, and particularly from 9:30 onwards. It was like you were speaking to me exactly where I am at in my life right now. Thank you so much for sharing this. It would be so cool if you could crop that part and add it to a reel of inspirational kickstarter sessions or something. I would love to listen to that every single morning to remind me of what I need to do - just show up!!! Love xxx
Hi Rich. Your vlogs are really helping to confront my demons. I was training for Ironman about 8 years ago. Then cancer struck. I’ve been in remission now for 6 yrs but I’ve suffered horribly from depression and mild ptsd. I’m trying to wean off my pain meds and exercise again. It is so hard but your vlogs help enormously. Thanks.
Thanks for making the video Rich and giving us that little nudge to get on with life. One of the many reasons your podcast is doing so well is because of the quality, great research before interviewing the guests and it all seems very natural.. Keep it up man.. Derek
Rich these are great!! Excellent accompaniment to the podcasts and authentically you (or at least who I think is 'you'). Thank you for sharing your life and musings. It all adds up to a wonderful contribution and for that I'm grateful!
"You have no control over the fruits of your labor, the only thing you have control over is the content itself." Great stuff - loving these little vlogs in between your podcast releases.
You are such an inspiration..I Love you're vlog. . Rumi said, " If you begin to walk the path, the path will appear before you". But, I think you already figured that out. Thank you for sharing you're thoughts in this vlog. I can't wait for the next one.
Im so glad that I met you back around 2011 and you signed your book for me... I fell off the inspiration bandwagon awhile ago and trying to get back there.... I turned to the same people that got me started and here you are. Thanks Rich... Ill try not to fuck up this time...
This is great, so cool to see how you do the podcast. AND so jealous of that awesome running trail. Thanks for all you do, know that it is so appreciated.
Like everyone, I love the last three minutes where you summarise and add your insights. BTW, I love the +LewisHowes School of Greatness book sitting there. I particularly like how you said to not worry about the results and instead, direct your attention to the process. I've committed to writing a blog each week and I'm kind of glad I made that commitment to myself (and my audience) that in the 12 months I've been doing it, I haven't had time to get caught up in my mind. I've had to move on to the next blog. Thanks for this genuine welcome to the behind-the-scenes look into your life.
Have confidence Rich! These vlogs are raw, inciteful, and I really like how you've edited them! The end was really inspiring and something i needed to hear. I'd love to see some more tips on training technique, form, or beginner tips some day in your vlogs for people looking to get into triathlons (such as myself). You are an inspiration to me, keep up the great work!
Amazing stuff, loving the vlog! Got into your podcast this past summer and it was the final push for me to fully adopt a plant-based lifestyle. So stoked for the podcast with Steve-O, he was one of my favorites as a teenager and have always found his journey super inspiring! Keep up the great work!
@Rich Roll Great to see you back a bit more in the video space. I know how long it takes to edit and produce any content of worth, your podcast is the one of the best in the space so keep up with whatever you can handle Rich. You and your wife do an awesome job of spreading a very sensitive and potentially divisive message with an articulate and thoughtful media lifestyle contribution, keep up the great work thanks regards Russell
Awesome video Rich! I havn't seen or heard anything that you've done prior to this video but the words at the end and the video itself has sold me so count me in for the journey, I'm subscribing!
I loved this video - especially the message at the end. I really needed to hear that this evening! Thank you! Please keep doing what you are doing. Really enjoying and benefitting from your podcasts and vlogs!
Hey Rich. I just found your channel. Thank you for your awesome encouragement at the end of this video. Often I feel discouraged when my blogs don't do well (like 4 views) but I keep on going anyhow. This has given me hope. Thank you.
Great vlog Rich! Little bit jealous of the weather with you, as I write this in the gloomy damp of the English Midlands. And Steve O on the podcast! Can't wait!!!
Great advice indeed! Those last 3 minutes of lustrous pearls of wisdom! "...not doing something because you're afraid to fail...but thinking that is the real failure. So my advice: Just Begin!" Awesome! Thx Rich!!! Sharing this great msg :-)
This was such an inspiring vlog Rich. Thank you! I am in the middle of several projects with limited direction. I am inspired, so with that I will simply keep going. Also, I am so very excited to hear this podcast with Steveo!
Genuinely love how you use your hands while speaking into the podcast mic, even though we listeners can't see :) Keep up the great work with the vlogs!
Great vlog, Rich! You have been a big part of my inspiration to start something of my own, which I must admit, has taken a bit of a backseat to some other priorities over the last few months. I really hope to get some videos up in the next few weeks of my trip to South Africa and my experience running the Comrades. The RRP keeps me going on many of my training runs. Keep it coming!
There is a nice effortless feel to these vllogs although there is probably a lot of editing, driven by perfectionism and love for the whole thing. Like the themed outros. Also saw you featured in the german "Slowy veggie" and loved it.
Rich, I so loved your message at the end of this vlog. I've been inspired to start recording myself for about a month or two now, and I am just getting driven more and more everyday with similar messages to yours. Thank you. -G
Thanks Rich! Super excited to hear Steve-O on the podcast too. Thank you too for the advice. If anyone really thinks about what you said, it's very much true. Just dive in. You'll figure out the details on the way.
Love the vlogs, keep em up Rich :) That last advice just hit me real hard.. Hope to do something about it. Also, for me it was very interesting to see the equipment you bring with you. Maybe you could do a vlog about what it is and how you use it? Love
Wow -- you are such an amazing guy. I met at the TO Cowspiracy premiere. I always speak about you to men as an example that excellent health is attainable -- without eating animals.
Loved the ending Rich! Really needed that. Thank you for being you! I"m almost gonna hit 100 videos and that is absolutely huge or me! Have a good one buddy Peace+ plants

Keep up the great work!
Mike
+Andrew Hermansen Agreed
+Rich Roll Really enjoying the vlogs, but I see its been a week since you posted this one. Any chance we'll see another one soon?
Dude, you need to keep vlogging. We don't need perfection, we just need more Rich Roll in our lives.
Would love to see you shoot a "What I Eat in A Day" video!
Brilliant little gem there in 'stay out of the results', Rich....we run into this in horse training all.the.time.....training for the result only and missing the beauty of the creation of a relationship with the horse in each moment---so much is missed if that is the path. Thanks for the vlogs....really enjoying them (en-joy...finding the joy in).
Everything Rich - the style, the content, the care you put into this - is inspiring. Super work as always!

So good Rich - the last 2 minutes of this really touched home. Such good advice. Keep it coming man you're an inspiration to us all!
+Dann Petty thanks so much Dann - your example is what really motivated me to finally JUST BEGIN! Don't know how you manage to put out an awesome video every day but keep going -- I am really enjoying them.
+Dann Petty BTW - how can I get one of your EPIC hats??? NEED.
+Rich Roll haha yeaaa email me your addy and I'll send! I'll send you one of my epic tees too lmk what size.
Dude. That last segment hit me like rock to the head.

such a smart pause and reboot on the vlogs Rich. these are off to a great start. thanks!
Rich,

What a wonderful way to start my morning. Breakfast and watching your vlog. Thanks again Rich- I'm loving these!!

Keep showing up. Keep doing it. Don’t give up.
Thanks for the wisdoms

Thanks Rich for sharing your life with us and encouraging us to live life in an overall healthy way~
Rich roll you're the cooooolest! Thank you for your service and your message. An inspiration in my life for sure
Hi Rich. Your vlogs are really helping to confront my demons. I was training for Ironman about 8 years ago. Then cancer struck.
