Best one yet. It’s taken me 55 years to figure this out. And it’s so true. We don’t change until we can’t handle the pain anymore. And many never do it. They would rather play victim.
Thank You for this. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.
god is unconditional love
@@tensevoYes He is.
Need to own your hitting rock bottom and see it as an opportunity
Bravo for changing it up at any age. I’m right there with you. Growth is where it’s at
Absolutely n at 43 I'm definitely understanding this shit n working to do n be better
I just quit my job and moved to a new country to write a book. I definitely needed to hear this today. Thank you.
wow, way the go dude.
Yes - thats my dream too. Congrats.
The world needs to hear what you have to say
Hell yea brother!
Good on you
I reinvented myself after 7 years in the Marines, and now I’m doing it again after 11 years as an automotive technician, and I have about 7 years or so of school to reach my goal of becoming a nuclear physicist. It’s going to be a long reinvention this time around, but I think it’s well worth the work.
remember to enjoy the journey. good luck man
On a similar path after 7 years in the army and 3 years in automotive sales management. Transitioning to real estate for a better quality of life. Wishing you the best on your journey!
Same but from being a pi**head to engineering
never settle, brother
@@parasocialbondsmetaswvoits9078 I was told I'd never be a Marine, I did that. I thought I'd never be a good enough tech to reach Ferrari, I did that. Now I believe I CAN be a physicist, and I WILL DO THAT.
I will be 70 on my next birthday and am in an intense period of growth and change. It has been very difficult and yet exciting. I am sometimes sad that I am learning a new perspective on life at such a late date in my life, but I am looking forward to where I'm headed. This is not my first adventure with personal growth. I find my periods of personal growth are the most fulfilling periods in my life. The difficulty with these periods is the initial period of agony that us the instigation
Thank you for posting this, I'm 56 and as I am working on reinventing myself, or trying to figure out who I am, I get hung up on how late in life and why I didn't do this at 25 . I heard something, you had to go through all this to prepare you for this, it was never wasted time.
Welcome to the club. I'm retired and having the time of my life. I've discovered Bitcoin and blockchain tech. Not enough hours in the day to digest this fast changing, exciting environment. Unfortunately family and friends think I've lost my marbles.
I had to work at rewiring my mindset, unlearn the bs I carried with me for most of my life and make a disciplined approach at understanding money. I walk alone on this journey, except for the vibrant Bitcoin community online that are so generous in sharing their knowledge, especially to an old trout way past her use by date.
I have no idea where this is taking me. Except that fiat is stacked against me and bitcoin gives me hope. I no longer despair.
@@TASadywhat would you have done different at 25 if you could go back now with the knowledge you’ve acquired now?
What is the new perspective of life you’ve acquired? I believe your insight will be wise to know.
Inspiring!!!!
Rich Roll changed my life and my struggle with autoimmune disease and obesity/ food addiction. Thriving on plants and vitality- almost 8 years
This guy is SO articulate. I don’t comment very often but my jaw dropped at the chosen words he used. I can never seem to find the right words to explain this process, but he speaks so beautifully and raw about the truth in leveling up one’s life. As someone in recovery, he absolutely nails it! Thank you. ❤
I wonder if it's because of pursuing law. Legalise in itself is so dense. But yes got to appreciate Rich
Rich started at 31! Great time to start. I didn't start until I was 66 and many choices were not available any longer, and after I had caused a lot of damage to my children. I was never an alcoholic but there are conditions just as bad and much harder to spot.
Your honesty must make up for some of the losses and damages. It sounds like wisdom is Center-Stage. I wish you well and continued growth.
Sending you ✨💕✨💕✨💕
I'm reinventing myself right now. 39 years old first semester college student. Focusing more on myself, rather than pleasing others. I'm absolutely enjoying the Grit and Grind. It's hard, terrifying, intimidating, frustrating, but very rewarding. I'm going to have what I want one day. And that's rewarding just knowing I'm on my way to that place.
thats what i love about these college girls, man. i get older, they stay the same age.
alright, alright, alright
Let’s go!
Hell yeah. Im 39 myself and planning going to back to school next year. I wish you succes on your path.
@@silentgarage7273 Thanks. It's worth it for what I want to do now. But it is definitely a change to the grind and routine of things. I hope you do go back. And get what it is you want in life.
You already have what you want 😉
Visualise it everyday, multiple times a day.
Love Rich Roll. Sober, plant based, runner. Inspiration.
I could listen to Rich Roll articulate his observations all day. What a lovely soul ❤️
15:00 "sobriety isnt for people that need it, its for people that want it" well said
this one hit differently at 37min+: "“Life need to be lived forward, and only makes sense looking back”
Soren kierkegaard
I am that guy that started late, my way in life, finding what I was meant to do. From joining the US Navy at 31 years of age. Went back to school to receive my degree. Started at running races in my mid to late 30s. Starting a podcast, social media stuff at my mid 40s, just released my first book this year, late 40s and being a HOKA ambassador for my city this year. Much gratitude
RR is such a beautiful example of an evolved masculine man who’s not afraid to meet his emotional side with depth. I always enjoy listening to him and his wife is also a spiritual powerhouse. Those two together are magic! Thank you for having him on, great convo!
This does make me feel less alone. Thank you guys.
World is full of fucked people brother.
Me too ❤
Exactly bro. We all out here working n trying behind the scenes. Don't let IG n etc fool u. It's tough adulting. Keep pushing
42 years old, starting over in a new career, making sure I become the human I need to be. In accordance with what I think, what I say and what I do. Great episode!
Exactly. I'm 43 n working to rewire my thinking n understanding. Be better n be more fulfilled. Wish u all the best
40 y/o here. I think I’m going desperate to do this. What from/to? How?
There is so much truth that comes from honesty and vulnerability. I wrote my first book at 66. I've actually changed everything about my life in the past 10 years. You get to a sink or swim point. I chose to swim.
I’ve followed Rich for many years now. He’s had a profound influence on my life. I collapsed inwards after a battle with the Big C. Now, I’m back, running and rowing. Before and after the battle, I’d always reinvented myself. There were days when I wanted to throw the towel in. I just gave myself a good talking to and luckily came out of the darkness. My lesson learnt was to avoid negative people or comments. It can be very lonely, but I trusted myself that everything will work out.
I’m 31 and 4 months sober and wake up questioning who I am and and how to bring my best self to the world every day. Im extremely educated and stuck in my head a lot and feel trapped at my upper echelon Scientist job. This episode HIT. Thanks so much to both of you for the mind and heart fuel. Will be listening to more Rich for sure!
Just keep going brother. Write it down every day. Do a brain dump on paper. Then time block actions into your calendar. Then at least you know it’s taken care of and you are on course. Then re-evaluate weekly.
I'm 31 and just quit my job in tech 2 months ago. Was scary to make the jump, and I'm anxious and scared now too. But I looked down the line of the next ten years and that job wasn't what I wanted in life I don't regret it at this stage at all. If you don't enjoy what your doing quit. Give yourself 6-12 months. You can always go back and you'll regret not doing it more than doing it.
Got sober around your age. 12 years now
Congrats buddy I'm proud of you, not easy to break cycles.
Well done stay in the solution Recovery is in the moment stay strong you will find who you are . It gets greater later. Recovering here too. 😊
I heard the saying “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room “ . It really resonated with me
Rich roll is a legend
Man, Rich absolutely killed it in those last few minutes of the podcast. Such important words, so eloquently said! Those transformational moments are functions of the heart, not the intellect.
This is what I needed to hear tonight. I went 10 years without alcohol then i went back to it for a year but just quit a couple of weeks ago. Had it not been for prayers I dont know where i'd be.
I spoke to a counselor last week and she noticed how i stayed sober for a decade thanks to jogging almost daily and then suddenly i had to drink in order to go jogging because of fear. I had gotten stabbed at a jogging trail and not only that but when the cops got there i was beaten too. I live in a small city in texas so it wasn't easy to think I had to protect myself from the bad guys and the "good guys." I totally admire the great guys in law enforcement and just because of a few bad apples I decided to forgive all that and just move on and contiue to give the good cops their props. As William Blake would say: "Forgiveness is my religion."
sorry you had to go through that. your mindset is commendable 🤜🤛
I absolutely adore Rich Roll. His articulation of his perspective is poetic and precise. While I cherish his podcast dearly, it is quite the treat when he is the one being interviewed.
Holy shit, 15 minutes in and I have to stop now so that I can continue tomorrow and give it my full attention. The amount of golden nuggets of life changing wisdom just being dropped is mind blowing. Most valuable 15 minutes of my life thus far. I cannot wrap my head around the previous statement.
Rich Roll is fantastic - I only got into his podcast several months ago, and he just seems like a really genuine guy with some powerful life lessons who wants to help. So glad these two have connected.
I've been (and still am) a listener of Rich Roll podcasts for years, and that's one of the main things I love about him. Amazing conversation with two amazing human beings. Chris did a good job here, also.
One takeaway lesson from this is that we have to teach our children "TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE" and "LOVE YOURSELF". That is how I would have liked to be 'LOVED' not the success & progress road to burnout. There is so much here!!! Thank you so much for this talk. I'm going to listen to this again and again!
Rich roll one of the OG podcasters!!!
Our mental and physical health are just as important as our professional success.
I reinvented myself 6 years ago when I got sober after almost drinking myself to death. It takes years. My old self wouldn’t even recognize the new me.
It really struck a chord with me when Chris brought up wanting a friend group that you’re attracted to but they don’t reciprocate. I’m searching out another church and that is one of two reasons why. I am in my 60s but have the energy & interests & personality of someone in their 40s. However, i have never been able to break into that age group of friends in my church. And, I even teach their kids in children’s church so we do have a common bond in that, too. The 70ish crowd has open arms for me, but I feel so out of place with them.
No offense but what makes you think that changing churches is going to make a difference? I have moved a lot as an adult. Communities tend to be stamped with a certain personality. I am in a similar situation trying to find intellectual friends who want to talk about something other than doggie day care and children's poetry. I seriously want to go in the bathroom and gouge out my eyes with a dull stick. Carry on and let us know how it turns out.
Ive lived all over the world. Usually moving isn’t the key to change. But I wish you all the best.
Have you ever asked any of them out for a coffee/ bite to eat?
Chris I like how you start the podcast right away, thank you for constantly delivering new content, these podcasts make such a difference in my life.
In my opinion, this is one of Rich's BEST shares yet. THANK YOU.
Rich Roll is top of list when it comes to people I look to for inspiration on how to live a purposeful life. I appreciate you for having such great guests, Chris.
Two of the best in the biz, but also the most real, insightful & helpful people on the planet. I couldn’t imagine if either of these two did NOT reinvent themselves. Such a gift.
I love that there aren’t intros to these podcasts. So efficient 😊
I have heard the name Rich Roll, but I've never heard the individual. Thank you, Chris, for putting this man on your podcast.
Can't believe Chris didn't name this episode 'You've been Rich Rolled'.
💡
I can
lmao
Looks like he got him
I don't get it?
This was great ! As a long time Rich Roll Podcast listener, he is always a great interviewer, but it’s easy to forget how much wisdom
He has to offer when he is the one being interviewed.
It's long, but it's worth watching. I need this video badly.
My favorite Rich Roll interview to date. Thank you soooo much. I see your own wisdom colliding with the wisdom of your wife in a way that offers up your own, beautiful perspective of life, achievement and how to navigate this life. The world needs more of you. Much love and appreciation!
This episode really hit home. I'm realizing more and more than outside my wife I don't have an "intellectual connection" in my very small friend group. This podcast gives me space to listen, think, and explore ideas I otherwise wouldn't be able to. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thanks for featuring my favorite podcast hero, the amazing Rich Roll!! Great interview.
This episode is SO good! Rich adroitly articulates how he’s learned to cope with the issues Chris highlights, many of the issues I struggle with. Namely the pain = success strategy I’ve adopted throughout my life as a professional skydiving competitor and podcast host.
Rich also sheds penetrating light on his quote, “The prize doesn’t go to the fastest, it goes to the person who slows down the least,” which highly resonates with me. 10 out of 10 recommend!
Literally the best podcast I have ever heard. Never heard of Rich but everything he said resonates so much.
I have been listening to Rich's podcast for nine years. Just the best.❤
I came across this podcast because I listen to Rich Roll’s podcast. I am not familiar with Chris Williamson .
I’ve always felt that Rich Roll is authentic and a great person and thinker but with a wall up somehow, a distance between he and anything else. I think it’s mainly because of the delivery- measured, presented by strings of impressive vocabulary words and beautifully crafted sentences. Like poetry.
But Rich Roll,, in this conversation for the first time, I see that wall down. He’s more real and likable than I’ve ever seen him and I like him! What a great conversation. This gem of a podcast is the reason I’ll subscribe to this channel and share this podcast with people I care about.
This was great!!! I am 59 years old, if we had access to what is available now when I was in my 20's and 30's and even teens. I feel as though I am only starting life in my 50's.
I love Rich Roll. He has such a great temperament, is so articulate and has no ego, a very wise, centered man. If I'm feeling down, I listen to him.
Another excellent discussion. Thank you, Chris! Please more of Rich Roll too 😊
I always took educational Risks, I never told many ppl until I did it. 2024 new life & moving far from family who are negative & unsupportive. I don’t kno exactly where I’m goin but I can’t wait to get there!!! 🌎
Hey, thank you so much for lifting people's spirits up. Means much more than you realize Rich.
Wow,
Im in that described changing phase and Jesus, everything these guys say is so spot on.
Nothing is about this comfortable.
Damn guys. This is exactly what what I needed today. After five years and 700 episodes of the Think Unbroken podcast I'm so excited to take a much needed break. Rich pointed it perfectly... People really don't understand what it takes to make a podcast great. Appreciate you guys. Looking forward to seeing you soon
@MichaelUnbroken....I think Shawn Ryan took about five years before he exploded. The Shawn Ryan Show has been growing exponentially during the past six months, close to 2 million subs.
@@ross2812 I love that. Yeah you know we’ll do those numbers this year and it’s just about showing up every week. I’ll have to check out that show. I haven’t heard of it.
3:00 - “In an age where social media allows us to see successes from people very young, it gives a good bit of solace to people who feel like, ‘I’m forty, not I’m on the back nine, and I haven’t even started swinging the golf club yet.’”
Rich: “I know what that feels like. I was that guy.”
I would read an entire book about this exact thing. What can a man do to turn his life around he’s forty, his career is dead, he has no momentum?
Rich Roll has exactly that - Finding Ultra
Rich Roll is such and inspiration. So cool to have him on your podcast!
O mg god chris ,come on I can't imagine surviving without your podcast .thankful and grateful to God for having you on you tube ❤love u
Chris, your brilliance shows in the fact, that this is the very first podcast where Rich Roll being involved, that I've watched from the beginning to the end. You really made him open up, far less measured than usual.
This is one of the most profound conversations I've listened to and I resonate a lot about your analogy of conserving energy. I've been burned out so much in my life and relate to your situations of pushing myself to the point of suffering. Thank you so much for helping me see there's a way to heal this!
Thank you Chris!
As another young guy in his mid twenties i felt alone since i started my journey on becoming better , and since listening to you my love for knowledge started to reawaken, and by seeing you wanting to learn more from other ppl, I feel like i kinda found someone else who thinks like me and its truly make me feel like less ' weird' and alone. Keep it up and let my learn beside you. :)
This episode has resonated with me deeply. Going through a very difficult period in my life which has resulted in hitting rock bottom and realising the need/beginning the journey of change. Thank you for this conversation Chris and Rich. I wish I was able to convey how sincerely appreciative I am and how this episode has come to me at the right moment in my life to also fully appreciate it.
Fuk that shit. Keep that hope strong n keep pushing. We need you in this life. We need u to get it together. 1 at a time. No competition, no comparison. Your journey your way. U got this.👏🏼
@@twonrichpo1126💪 1 month on and I’m doing better!
Love how Rich turned this whole episode on him. Masterclass
This came out at the perfect time. I couldn't stop myself from clicking fast enough. I'm always changing but I am choosing to reinvent myself more purposefully to make my way into this next life chapter.
I was thinking maybe you had exhausted the list of people worth interviewing on this topic, but no, this was great. Thanks Chris!
Very few life changing podcasts. This is one of them though. Addicted to this one.
I love how the world has become, I love that I can be from a totally different background and ethnicity but be exposed to such incredible information. Thank you so much for consistently inspiring us Chris🤝🏽 and thanks to Rich for being so open
Rich has a great laugh, has the typical answers framing on lock down. Shows testament to the highest things he learned and learned from his own guests. It was good to hear Chris grill some intresting scenarios. Thanks guys!
Love it! "It's not about fast. It's about the ability to conserve. To mete out your energy."
Waaah, I needed to hear this. Don't back down before the miracle. I believe my miracle is just around the corner
I don’t believe that we are at our cote seeking worldly or external validation, I think it’s self validation that we truly seek. A recognition that this entire game of life was only ever about you and YOU.
Amazing guest thank you for this podcast! Trying to better myself and as someone in my early 30s it’s encouraging to see how much Rich has managed to achieve when as he says he only got himself together at 31.
thats when he started, results take a while. for me i started at 25, im 28 and much has improved but not enough. i spent time trying things out to see what sticks and what direction i want to go career wise, only a year ago i found it after trying things and figuring out they werent for me. yet i still havent gotten a career in it, ive been looking for a job for the past few months and the economy isnt helping. Just have to endure and keep grinding, i almost feel like my life is on pause, i stopped going out and live like a monk now. but its what is necessary, and i have to succeed there is no other option. I wish i started earlier, my late teens and early twenties was wasted by drugs and being a degen
OUTSTANDING!! Two of my favorite pod hosts getting DEEP into the soup!! Thanks Chris & Rich!!
Love the vulnerability of both of you guys and also the strength that comes emanating through that. Awesome episode! As pretty much always
Please get the hardest geezer (and possibly his crew, too) on your podcast when they returned from Africa. Their journey is amazing!
You can’t change yourself, you can only pursue The Good and allow it to overcome your life. This goodness is personal, alive, and created the universe to meet you.
In the middle of this exact process… this one I definitely needed to hear. Thank you
Thank you both so much for this discussion. It was greatly welcomed and much needed. Much love n respect! 🤘
this is prolly my fav pod of all time...
Mannnn. What a pod. Rich is so great, and I think seeing him interviewed you Chris was a perfect contrasting conversation. Love this.
that 5 minute rocky montage,
that'll be a decade
Chris’s generation is in love with quotes.
Man I love Rich Rolls podcast, Thanks Chris for bringing him🥂
I listened to this podcast on Spotify, and I can say that this was one of the best podcasts I've ever listened too!
SUCH an incredible episode! But, really, they ALL are!
I love these conversations. I love these topics. Thank you for creating!!! Thank you for your content!
🙏
First time on the channel. First time hearing Rich. This is one of the best things I’ve watched in years.
Neverreinvent yourself, just reveal your true self. You were born wth everything you need to live a good and happy life.
Chris is wise beyond his years. So introspective about life and his thoughts and actions. You are a legend. Cheers from an American living in Spain.
Great insight. As a workaholic I really identified with a ton of this. I have been thinking about where my work habits fit in with a fulfilling life. Thanks for the discussion.
Same
Anxiety is the root cause of all addiction. We must learn healthy coping strategies for a world with ever increasing anxiety.
This is a next-level conversation full of important life lessons...I will keep returning...Thank you both!
This is one of the podcasts that will stick in my mind, and I'm going to listen to it every day. It was an amazing conversation.
This podcast spoke to me in so many ways, a lot to think about. Thanks to both.🖤
Likewise!!!! Very Essential
I wish I had people like this in my life I could talk to. I appreciate the conversation gentlemen. Tons to think about. 🙏🏼
I love this podcast and have listed to it several times, it's one of my favourites. Rich and Chris share such pearls of wisdom 🙏
This was a fantastic conversation! So much wisdom and Vulnerability!
"Belief carries disproportionate energy"
So spot on for me! Felt like mind reading at times. Thanks for this
what an incredible podcast
I’ve been listening for this episode the last four years. Thank you guys. Truly a great pod!!
Rich, you are such a cool human being. I just adore you and really enjoy listening to you. Thanks for sharing your story
That was an exceptional , brilliant and remarkable interview .I felt every word Rich Roll uttered. I admire the sincerity and depth of his knowledge. Thank you deeply chris 🙏
Truly exceptional episode. And as you said, one can feel every single word, I think a testament to the wisdom, depth of knowledge & authenticity. What it really means to live an examined life. Every bit of this episode resonates so deeply!
