The Rich Roll Podcast

Manoj Dias is a meditation teacher, author of "Still Together," and co-founder of the mindfulness studio Open.

Recorded live in New York at Rivian's Performance House, we get into wellness as a secular religion, mindfulness as a choose-your-own-adventure, and what's underneath the language of optimization. He also explains what an NBA team practices before the shot. Then it opens up to a Q&A with the room.

Manoj also guides everyone through a practice. A few rounds of five breaths in and five out, then gratitude. Follow along. Enjoy!

Lee Sung Jin is the Emmy-winning writer, director, and showrunner of Beef, and is now co-writing Marvel's X-Men.

We discuss his backstory, the Jungian shadow work underneath the show, the specificity with which he constructs these characters and the universality piece that comes out of it, the worst year of his life and the scene it produced, and the name he spent twenty-five years under.

The overarching message is that change, evolution, growth are possible and always within our grasp. We just get in our own way.

Lee is operating at an entirely different level. Enjoy!

Johannes Klæbo is a Norwegian cross-country skier, an 11-time Olympic gold medalist, and the most decorated Winter Olympian in history. Johannes caught the world's attention with his signature sprinting on skis, sweeping his events and winning the most gold medals ever at a single Winter Olympics.

But it wasn't always so; this conversation explores how he got from the middle of the pack at age 14 to the top of Olympic history. We get into Norway's philosophy of raising top athletes, the training mishap that turned into his uphill technique, his 32-hour training week, and his competitive spirit that never switches off.

He also tells me the one thing he changed before the Olympics, and it has nothing to do with training.

At only 29 Johannes is already one of the greatest Olympians of all time, and it was an honor to have this conversation with him. Enjoy.

Zac Clark is the founder of Release Recovery and a tireless recovery advocate, as well as the winner of The Bachelorette. He totally embodies the principles of recovery and what it means to give back to this community that has saved so many.

This conversation gets into the reality of addiction and why, for Zac, recovery is less about willpower than community. We cover: willingness, emotional sobriety, how families get pulled under, the stranger who saved his life, and what running gives him.

Zac has helped so many people through direct and consistent service, and it was such privilege to have him on. Enjoy!

Ryan Holiday is a bestselling author and a leading voice in modern Stoicism.

This conversation explores Christopher Nolan's interpretation of Homer's Odyssey and the moral truths the poem was built to transmit. We discuss why interpretation is the assignment, the hubris Nolan left out, unreliable narrators, the sirens as confirmation bias, perseverance versus persistence, and many other topics.

Odysseus, it turns out, is working the twelve steps.

Ryan is a great mind. And the movie is a masterpiece. Enjoy!

Michelle Khare is the Emmy-shortlisted creator behind the YouTube series "Challenge Accepted."

We explore the seismic shift underway as the creator economy and Hollywood converge. She recreated one of Tom Cruise's most dangerous stunts, hanging off a C-130 mid-flight. We get into daring versus reckless, fear setting, and walking toward what scares you.

Along the way, she reveals the simple test she runs before every insane risk.

Michelle has arrived, and she's just getting started. Enjoy!

Malcolm Gladwell is a staff writer at The New Yorker, bestselling author, and podcaster. Chris Chavez is a journalist, podcaster, and the founder of CITIUS MAG.

I just passed a thousand episodes, which has me rethinking what I want this to feel like. So for this one, no agenda, no notes. Just three podcasters rolling the dice.

Where it went: the art of the interview. Farming attention with integrity. The state of running. Why America loses at the sports it thinks it should dominate. Enjoy!

Mark Dowdle is an endurance athlete and former football and lacrosse player.

This conversation explores the intersection of endurance and identity, digging into the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and how we get uncoupled from them.

We discuss turning pain into purpose, shared vulnerability as connective tissue, faith, why mood follows action, and dancing at the edge of your capabilities — where the mask comes off.

Mark is a change agent masquerading as an ultrarunner. Enjoy!

This is the 1,000th episode of the podcast. Insane. To mark it, Julie and I take it back to the start.

We recap the origin story of this show. A creative experiment, born in a yurt on a Kauai mango farm, our family was on the precipice of foreclosure. We get into the crucible that gave birth to everything, and why change stays within everyone's reach.

Fourteen years. A thousand episodes. Grateful for every one of you. Enjoy!

Danny McBride is the writer, actor, and producer behind “Eastbound & Down,” “Vice Principals,” and “The Righteous Gemstones.”

For 30 years, he's satirized the aggrieved modern male, the guy who grew up on Rambo and ended up working at Geico. His first collection of short stories, “Thrilling Tales of Modern Men,” puts it all on the page. We get into masculinity, disappointment, the manosphere, and a world that already feels like the extended McBride universe.

Beneath the comedy, the only real antagonist in these stories is the man himself.

Danny is a master of his craft, and a rare eye on the foibles of the modern American man. Enjoy!
