521. Rich Roll Makes His Process Public: Purpose, Sobriety and Partnership

from Almost 30 · host Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik

Rich Roll is an inspiration, both in the general sense and in a very specific way. Believe it or not, his podcast played a big part in K+L launching Almost 30. After years of struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, Rich turned his life around to become an award-winning ultra endurance athlete, vegan advocate, best-selling author, and host of the incredible Rich Roll Podcast. You may have heard his story before, but this conversation pushes him to go a little deeper on some less-explored details. Rich goes into his personal journey including his marriage with Julie and their financial collapse, alcoholism as it relates to the sober-curious movement, finding purpose and what that means, and picking apart the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous as it relates to a spiritual experience.  It’s a super dynamic conversation with someone who’s accomplished so much in life. You won’t want to miss it. We also talk about: Starting the Rich Roll podcast Advice for finding your purpose Taking next steps when you’re in a dark place What sober-curious people can learn from AA Being a positive influence while allowing people to follow their own path Finding and cultivating a loving partnership Balancing aspiration and reality when raising kids How Rich’s spirituality has evolved Developing the habit of taking action Resources:  richroll.com Instagram: @richroll The Rich Roll Podcast Order: Voicing Change Volume II Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!
