In episode 2 of the Happen Films Podcast we’re joined by a Dude Making a Difference, Rob Greenfield. You might already be one of Rob’s hundreds of thousands of followers; if not, we’re delighted to introduce you to him because he’s one of our favourite people out there working to make the world a better place.
We’ve been fans of Rob Greenfield’s work for years, and had the opportunity to catch up with him while he was under lockdown in France during Covid-19. With this interruption to daily life giving many the opportunity to reflect on the type of life they’d like to lead, it was interesting to hear about Rob’s personal journey.
“It’s been about a decade now since I really shifted my life. I was living a very materialistic life. I wanted to be a millionaire by the time I was thirty. Then I started to listen to other perspectives and I just woke up to the fact that my life was not what I thought it was at all. I was buying into all these lies that corporations had sold me on what I needed to do in order to be a happy, healthy, successful human being and I pretty quickly decided that I was going to radically transform my life.”
Rob has gained notoriety around the world for some of his extreme campaigns - wearing all his own rubbish as he accumulated it over the course of a month (there was a lot to carry!); foraging or growing 100% (100%!) of his food for a year. Rather than fulfil his desire to be a millionaire, his financial vows see him donating 100% of his media income to grassroots charities and his financial net worth kept to the very bare minimum.
Rob is a great inspiration. Not because we should all choose to live this way - he acknowledges it’s not for everyone - but because he lives his truth in a way that fulfils him, in a way that he can be proud of, and in the way he truly wants to. That seems to us to be something to aspire to, for each of us in our individual ways.
Enjoy the podcast!

Hi all!
I hope that you enjoyed this podcast and personally gained from it. I am truly honored to have spent time with Jordan and Antoinette. Happen Films is one of my absolute favorite channels and I want the whole world to see their films!! So I'm so glad you are all here.
You are welcome to join me on my channel for more inspiration for a happier, healthier and more sustainable existence.
Sending love to you all!
Rob
Hi Rob. Speaking from NH, USA. Love your positivity. In so many ways this is what we've been crying out for. Enough. Days of rest and reflection. The ones dying and sacrificing for the necessary change must be mourned. Blessings for all of us. Gratitude🌍🌎🌏🆓🌌
Great podcast! Your insight is so valued, Rob. The conversation regarding death and impermanence is so relevant to me right now. With the virus happening now I've reexamined my ideas on death and feel more comfort and ease in coming to a place of acceptance with it. So thank you for your words as it is very confirming.
Your work is inspiring. What you do is making a difference. Thank you for all of it and sharing. Much love to you...
What a blessing for the world you are! Thank you for inspiring change!
I loved this video! I recently contacted you on your website. When you say about pumpkins and dying in the trees. I spend everyday with the trees. Imagining myself as a tree. Trees do not die of old age... I feel like we are trees.. interesting thoughts. I view life very similar to you. Hope to speak soon
👍
Have just listened to both of your podcasts in a row and want to say a huge thank you for putting this out there. I'm probably part of the large group who have 'awakened' but feel stuck about how to move forward. Living in a city with no access to land or any of the skills needed yet, getting to a place of resilience like these guys just seems such a daunting idea and so far away. But watching this has made me feel empowered that taking small steps and importantly, just having an alternative mindset and vision for what you want out of life can keep us moving in the right direction.
Love from Brazil you guys! We are city dwellers growing most of our food and trying to go zero waste. As a therapist (md psychiatrist) i have been integrating horticultural therapy to my practice and obtaining promising results. Thank you for the inspiration!
I feel so blessed and grateful to have access to this content. It definitely enriched my day and empowered me to take the next step towards a more sustainable and less hypocrite lifestyle. Love to all!
So beautiful! I have listened to so many of Robs talks. You put together a wonderful interview encapsulating his philosophy. Thank you for sharing Rob’s important work with the world.
Thanks Rebecca! Nice to hear you enjoyed our chat with Rob even after hearing his lots of his talks before 😊
That is wonderful to hear Rebecca! Sending a big hug and lots of love to you!
Rob Greenfield sending lots of love right back to you! 💕💕
Couldn't agree more, Rebecca!
Thank you for shining your light so brightly and illuminating the way for others. I have liked and shared. Need to get this message out there!!
Lifts me up. Thank you 🙏
what an enlightenment Rob acquired!!!! I want to see Rob meeting Dalai Lama!!!
What an incredible sense of freedom he must feel. Very inspirational. Light, love and hugs to all beings :)
It's really nice to hear Rob talking about so many things that I have been feeling for so many years. I really find it difficult to relate to the majority of people but I relate to everything that Rob says with one exception, the intentional exploitation of animals. With that said thank you Rob and I hope one day you change your mind about animal rights.
Hello, You can read my in depth thoughts on that here: robgreenfield.org/veganism
Wonderful interview! Thank you HF for your podcast posts ~
One of my favorite dumpster finds was a whole case of brand new canning jars - one was broken, so the store threw the entire case away.
My salute to you Rob! And Jordan and Antoinette and all those promoting this goodness..❤️
The French THRIVE on burocracy. Lucky to be climatically positively situated. Re hugs. There's a novel gif for a virtual hug you can download. I've been using it since before the lockdown. I'd send it here if I could.
You are real world teacher 🙏 modern Buddha 🙏 thanks for the podcast 🙏 great message, inspiring and practical tips.. grateful for your efforts and what you are doing 🙏
Fantastic ! I first stumbled across Rob years ago--but really became familiar via several films by Pete Kanaris of Green Dreams. Nice to also see Happen Films, another favorite, bring him on board here !
So much knowledge in one film. We are so privileged to have this available to us
Brilliant!! I've been going through a mentally down period in my life for a while and this has really helped me in the process of bouncing back, and to bounce back better than before. So inspired!
This interview is a breath of fresh air. Thank you. ❤
I just adore Rob Greenfield and you two. Well done.
This was so nice to watch and had some very helpful ideas on how we all can start to make those small changes.
Thanks for sharing your love and positive life styles
Happen film is THE BEST UA-cam channel ever! Keep up the good work you both ! I am Indonesian

I enjoyed this podcast with Rob so much. Worth sharing!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 sending hugs!
what an inspirational conversation! THANK YOU, for every single word. :)
Wow ! I was overwhelmed till you pointed out to start with what is passionate to me and to keep it simple. So far I tried to mimic you but made it very complicated.Going to try and do what you said by making one small change in my life per week. A difficult gesture in this period of time.Starting with taking a walk in the woods next to my house this afternoon.
Great! Here's 100 positive changes that I started with: robgreenfield.org/100changes

I love his view of life .. stay calm my friends, all best wishes from sweden
Rob is awesome!
amazing inspiring talk
Thanks so much for this.
Great speaking, I am still interested to hear you all. Thanks super it's like a prophet.
thank u for this
Thanks for sharing this video. It's amazing and very inspiring to know how people like Rob change their life styles to care for their nature.
Really admire people like him who dare to choose the different path unlike most of the professionals who are in a never ending rat race.
Simpler ways to live a much happier and fulfilling life rather then aimlessly following the path of materialism not knowing the limits of their needs until it starts becoming greed.
With great examples like Rob to look at, the earth and our world seems to have a hope towards path of adapting sustainability and preserving natural resources.
"Your papers, please"
Huggerman!
Delusions indeed.
Leaving one thing for another s ok 😊
Rob doesnt blink. It's too wasteful
Haha. I enjoy and appreciate blinking actually...
This loaded with good ideas and a beautiful perspective but it is very unbalanced in many ways. For example, if this guy gets into an accident and has a traumatic injury. He will be taken to a hospital many technological machines and processes will be used to save his life and repair his body. He lives in a relatively free Society, but an invisible Defense Force with tremendous technological capability is protecting him. He is also of course, using technology developed by other people to put his video presence online. I do believe that agrarianism is the foundation of civilization, but other people in the society will have to do other things and have other ways of life. The question is how these things can mutually support one another.
just saw that at minute 32 they begin to address this
Hello Mary,
These are all things I have thought deeply about and truly reflect in my life.
You can't expect to understand everything about my life in one video.
Here's another video to watch:

Health and happiness to you,
Rob
