The Rich Roll Podcast

Roll On, but enhanced!

Adam Skolnick came over to help make sense of the Enhanced Games, the pay-for-PEDs enterprise that just went down behind a Vegas casino. Think Idiocracy meets The Hunger Games, with Bryan Johnson calling the action from under a giant UV umbrella.

It veers dystopian: looksmaxxing, narcissism dressed up as self-optimization, and the slow creep toward transhumanism. Ultimately: why train at all? Enjoy!

Paul Rosolie is a conservationist, adventurer, and the author of “Junglekeeper.”

This conversation explores Paul's ardent case for ground-level conservation, the dire state of the Amazon, the indigenous wisdom that shaped him, his ill-fated brush with the Discovery Channel, encounters with uncontacted tribes, the crisis of meaning, and more.

Along the way, Paul dismantles the notion that one person can't make a difference.

I have mad respect for Paul. He's making it cool to be earnest. Enjoy!

This conversation explores avoidance, emotional fluidity, the Golden Algorithm, the inner critic, and why self-understanding beats self-improvement.

At certain points, I become the subject. Joe has some thoughts about my patterns.

Julie Piatt is my wife, my partner, and the person I needed sitting across from me for this one.

This conversation explores my recent experience with iboga, the root bark medicine used by the Bwiti people of Gabon for thousands of years. We discuss what led me there after decades of recovery and therapy, the confrontational nature of the ceremony, the rebirthing process, the role of the divine feminine, and what has quietly shifted in the aftermath.

Julie also weighs in, sharing what she's witnessed from the outside.

This one is personal. And I'm glad I finally talked about it. Enjoy.

This conversation explores the space between falling down and getting back up and how movement becomes a catalyst for emotional healing. We discuss Andy's descent into addiction, the inflection point that rerouted his life, the limits of running as a coping mechanism, the algorithm of transformation, and more.

Andy doesn't hold back about how he got here.

I'm a fan. Enjoy this one!

Dr. Paul Conti is a psychiatrist and author of the new book “What's Going Right.”

This conversation flips the script on a field focused on what's wrong, and asks a different question: what's going right? We get into the three human drives, the structure of self, self-sabotage, boundaries, and the simple goodness principle.

Paul is a gift, and the new book is a beautiful offering. Enjoy!

A solo riff today. No guest. Let's get into it.

Today's conversation is about intentional living in a reactive world—the 4 AM routine, the creative power of constraints, and why mood follows action.

Plus, the spirit animal I'd argue we'd all be better off adopting: the tortoise.

I close with the story of an old teammate who broke a record at 50 that had stood for nearly a decade and what he understood that most of us forget. Enjoy!

David Epstein is a scientist-turned-investigative journalist, author of "Range," and one of the most rigorous thinkers working today.

This conversation explores his new book "Inside the Box," the counterintuitive argument that limits, not freedom, are what unlock our best work. We cover the sharpshooter problem, the satisficing framework, attention in the algorithmic age, goal-setting versus opportunistic pivots, and what transformation actually looks like.

He turns the lens on me, and what emerges is one of the more honest exchanges I've had about goals, autonomy, and the long game.

David is a rare mind. This one's worth your full attention. Enjoy!

Dr. Stacy Sims is an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist whose mantra – "women are not small men" – has reshaped how women approach their health.

Recorded live with a studio audience, we challenge the conventional wisdom around fasting, cardio, and calorie restriction.

In its place, a playbook calibrated for female physiology – heavy lifting, fed-state training, circadian eating, and a new relationship with perimenopause.

Stacy is a force. Enjoy!

Roll On, al fresco!

Adam Skolnick came over. We went outside and let the conversation breathe. No studio walls. No agenda. Just two guys, some birds, and a wide-ranging hang that covers self-obsession as the enemy of growth, the dork problem in modern podcasting, and why 14 years in, we're playing again.

Then we roam: Geese, Turnstile, Mike D in a Malibu parking lot, Julie Piatt's Manger debut, Ed O'Brien of Radiohead in a church at SXSW, a joyride through Austin in the Rivian R2, the Dean Potter documentary, and Artemis II.

Enjoy!
