The Rich Roll Podcast

Anand Giridharadas is a New York Times bestselling author whose new book is Man in the Mirror.

This conversation explores the death of Jordan Neely on a New York subway, the story at the center of the book. We discuss Anand's return from punditry to reporting, how power actually operates, what the Epstein emails reveal about elite relationships, the Aspen consensus, who gets to belong in America and the case for radical humanization.

Along the way, I share how the program of recovery taught me to seek understanding and lead with curiosity.

Anand's book is an act of service. I hope this conversation is, too. Enjoy!

Malcolm Gladwell is a journalist and bestselling author. Kenya Barris is a writer, producer, and the creator of Black-ish. Together they host the Audible Original podcast The Unusual Suspects.

This conversation explores opposite approaches to storytelling. Kenya mines his own life, while Malcolm leaves his out entirely.

We discuss Kenya's Inglewood upbringing, finding your voice, Richard Pryor walking off a Vegas stage, the $100 million Netflix deal Kenya walked away from, the shifting tectonic plates of media, and more.

These two are a treat together. Enjoy!

Colin Kaepernick is a Super Bowl quarterback, civil rights activist, and author of the new memoir "The Perilous Fight."

Ten years after taking a knee, Colin opens up about the parts of the story we didn't see, from the death threats to the fourth-grade letter where he wrote down his future. And yes, he still trains most mornings.

Colin is undeniable. This conversation was an honor. Enjoy!

William Goodge is a British ultra-endurance athlete who just FKT'd his Australia crossing.

In October, he runs 50 marathons in 50 states in 24 days. We get into the logistics, the strange polarity of a life spent between five-star hotels and the side of a trail, and what it's like to be doubted in public. 

Will is the most aura-farming, Goodge-coded ultra mog I could possibly imagine. Enjoy!

Dolph Lundgren is an actor, martial artist, and chemical engineer, best known as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV.

This conversation explores the distance between the man on the poster and the boy underneath: the violent childhood, the Fulbright he traded for Manhattan, the delirium of instant fame, the steroids and stunts that followed, a fatal prognosis reversed by a second opinion, and the mirror work that finally took.

He offers a quiet rebuke to everything young men are currently being sold about strength.

Dolph's still a warrior – but a peaceful warrior. Enjoy!

Jenny Simpson is a three-time Olympian, Olympic medalist, and one of the most decorated American middle-distance runners of her generation.

In June, she collapsed at a community mile race. No pulse. More than twenty minutes of CPR. We sat down eight weeks later, before she'd spoken publicly.

We discuss June 16th, the inherited heart condition nobody knew she had, the five days she can't remember, and what they were actually like.

Jenny is extraordinary. Enjoy!

Tommie Runz is a runner, sobriety advocate, and co-host of the PR Project.

This conversation explores addiction and redemption through Tommie's insistence that sobriety comes first and everything else is downstream.

We discuss his backstory, the denial and the delusion of functional drinking, the moment he told the truth, nine years sober, ultrarunning as a spiritual practice, who belongs on the trail, and more.

Tommie is a beautiful representation of a real runner. Enjoy!

Hunter Biden is a writer, painter, and lawyer who spent a decade being publicly dissected.

We explore the trauma beneath the addiction, the anatomy of a relapse, guilt versus shame, and what happens when your covers are pulled so completely that nothing holds power over you anymore.

Seven years sober, he calls the worst years of his life a gift.

Hunter is proof that prophets walk among us. Enjoy!

Hellah Sidibe is a former professional soccer player, transcontinental runner, and now 3,349 consecutive days into a run streak.

This conversation explores the tenets of the run streak and the architecture of Hellah's relentless positivity. We discuss gratitude, why abundance is a consequence of the way you walk the earth, happiness as moments created with people, and his role as the counterweight to the grifters preying on vulnerable young men online.

We need more Hellah energy in the world. Consider this a dose. Enjoy!
