From Prison Guard to Endurance Star: Ken Rideout on Mindset, Non-Negotiables & Self-Accountability
The heart and soul of this podcast is personal transformation—and today’s story of metamorphosis is one of the most compelling, improbable, and inspirational tales I have ever heard.Narrating this epic saga is Ken Rideout, a guy who has transcended a litany of seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become one of the world’s pre-eminent master athletes.Now 51, he smokes his running competitors like a bad habit—and is only beginning to hit his stride.It’s a land mine littered path that didn’t come easy. A rough and chaotic childhood, a battle with addiction, learning harsh truths as a prison guard right out of high school, and later losing colleagues on 9/11 are just a few of the many obstacles he’s faced and overcome.Nonetheless, and without any formal experience, he somehow made it to Wall Street and beyond—and has been stacking goals ever since.Ken’s latest goal? To be crowned masters champion in all the world’s most prestigious marathons.Crowned “World’s Best Marathoner Over 50” by the New York Times (in an article written by friend of the podcast Matt Futterman), it’s fair to say this former boxer is already well on his way to achieving that goal. Today we walk through Ken’s journey, covering his early years reared in chaos, his time spent as a prison guard, and how he hustled his way against all odds to get to Wall Street.We also dive into the opioid addiction that nearly cratered his life, his mid-life renaissance as an athlete, his inhuman drive, his unique professional approach to training, and the mindset tools he’s leveraged to create improbable success—all of which are layered with a rare and colorful humility.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today’s Sponsors:Athletic Greens: 75 whole food sourced ingredients designed to optimize 5 key areas of health.

Susan Cain On The Great Ache That Binds Us
Are you one of those people that finds solace and comfort in rainy days or melancholy music?It’s not quite sadness. It’s more a feeling of longing. A beautiful ache that makes you feel more connected to the human experience.So what is that specifically? And why does it compel us so?Former corporate lawyer turned author Susan Cain wondered the same—a query that launched a 7-year journey to better understand the complex and nuanced nature of all things melancholic. The result of Susan’s adventure is Bittersweet, her #1 New York Times bestselling book that ponders this quiet state of being and why embracing it paves a true path to creativity, connection, and transcendence.Bluntly put, quiet states of being are Susan Cain’s jam. Today we go delightfully deep on introversion, bittersweetness, grief, creativity, connection, spirituality, and more.This conversation covers Susan’s transition from attorney to writer and how she came to write about introversion.We discuss the irony of being a public introvert, the power of honoring your inner introvert, and how to support introverted kids and co-workers.We also go deep on bittersweetness—and the how and whys behind cultivating it as a means of giving our lives more resonance and meaning and appreciation.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today’s Sponsors:ROKA: Cutting-edge eyewear & apparel built for top performance.ROKA combines the no-slip performance with fashionable frames.

Forging The Future: Ari Wallach on The Longpath Mindset, Telos & Transgenerational Empathy
We as a global society currently face challenges—some of which are existential in nature—that simply cannot be solved with the mindset, institutions, and paradigms currently in place.Instead, these solutions require that we think beyond current economic, political, and social constraints—and even well beyond our individual life spans—to consider deeply the impact we will have on many generations into the future.Indeed, these solutions require an applied mindset that Ari Wallach calls Longpath—an active way of being that cultivates future-conscious thinking and behavior to build more hopeful visions of the future, turn those visions into action, and foster more meaning in our lives and legacy.Ari is a futurist (although he hates that term), a social systems strategist, and the author of a new book out this week, aptly titled (you guessed it) Longpath, which extends a discussion he began with his 2017 TED Talk, Short-termism is killing us: it’s time for Longpath which has been viewed over 2.5 million times.This conversation asks a simple question: how do we become great ancestors to our future descendants?The future is not a singular certainty. Nor is it solely fueled by technological advances in some far distant point in time. Instead, the future is manifesting now—and it is very much human. In this fascinating conversation Ari explains why.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today’s Sponsors:Calm: Guided meditations, sleep stories, and more.

Centenarian Mike Fremont On Longevity Secrets, Breaking World Running Records & How To Thrive
Today we explore health, fitness, longevity & the pursuit of meaning through the lived experience of a human who has been walking planet Earth for a full 100 years.Meet centenarian Mike Fremont, a retired engineer turned climate activist and life-long athlete who holds a slew of impressive age group world records in running, including the fastest recorded marathons for an 88-year-old, 90-year-old, and a 91-year-old.I was introduced to Mike by his running buddy elite ultra-marathoner and popular friend of the pod Harvey Lewis, who helped arrange today’s unique opportunity to learn and be inspired by someone who has not only been alive for so long but who has remained incredibly vibrant well beyond social expectations. For those of you who feel like it’s too late or you’ve missed the boat on being an athlete, this guy’s marathon career didn’t even kick into high gear until his 60’s—40 years ago!This conversation is my attempt to extract his testimony and counsel for younger generations. We dive into what he has learned about life, longevity, vitality, purpose, fitness, and setting and world records. We also discuss the WFPB diet (which he adopted 30 years ago in the wake of a colon cancer diagnosis) that fuels his training, keeps him spry, informs his climate activism, and in his words, is what has allowed him to thrive for decades beyond social expectations.It’s not often you get the opportunity to spend time with a centenarian. This is a small attempt to course correct mainstream culture's failure to appropriately appreciate our elders. I loved having Mike on the show, consider him a new friend, and I’m proud to share his voice with you.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today’s Sponsors:Athletic Greens: 75 whole food sourced ingredients designed to optimize 5 key areas of health.

Heidi Zuckerman: Why Art Matters
What defines art? What makes one an artist? What does art teach us—and why does it matter?To help us make sense of a world elusive to many, today I convene with the singular Heidi Zuckerman.A woman I’ve known for over 30 years, Heidi has devoted her entire professional career to understanding art, the people who make art, and why we should care.Heidi currently serves as CEO and Director of the Orange County Museum of Art, where she is overseeing construction of a spectacular new building designed by legendary architect Thom Mayne of Morphosis, scheduled to open in October 2022.In addition, she hosts Conversations About Art (a podcast on which I was privileged to be a guest) and is the author of the Conversations with Artists book series.This is a conversation about art.In addition to tracking Heidi’s career arc, we discuss what defines art, what makes for great art, why we should care about art, and why artists matter.We discuss the barriers to accessing art. How art can and should be democratized. And the role of art and artists in this era of offense and content overload.On a personal level, this one is very meaningful given my long history with Heidi.I really enjoyed this conversation—I hope you learn as much as I did.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notesToday’s Sponsors:Outerknown: High-quality, sustainably produced, and great-looking men’s and women’s clothes.

Peter Attia, MD On Becoming a Centenarian Decathlete, Metabolic Health & All Things Zone 2
Healthspan extension may pique your interest. But it’s the obsession of today’s guest, a physician and engineer focused on the applied science of longevity to reframe and improve how we live while challenging all we’ve been previously taught about the interaction of health, human performance, and medicine.Meet Peter Attia, MD.Peter’s current practice deals extensively with nutritional interventions, exercise physiology, sleep physiology, emotional and mental health, and pharmacology to increase lifespan (how long you live), while simultaneously improving healthspan (the quality of your life).Today’s conversation, the first in what I hope to be many, focuses on the following specific topics:Longevity. From a holistic perspective, discussing the physical, mental and emotional pillars required to erect the foundation for a long life well-lived, including how and why he is training (as all us of should be) for what he calls “The Centenarian Decathlon”.Metabolic health. What this actually means, how to optimize it, and the role a Continuous Glucose Monitor (or CGM) can play in engaging you with your own metabolic health.Strength, mobility and brain health.Zone 2 training. What it is, how to do it, and why it’s important.Peter is an utterly fascinating human with a clear grasp of science and how to effectively communicate it.

Malcolm Gladwell Is Lord Of All Things Overlooked and Misunderstood
What are the limits of human performance? How can we reimagine sport to boost lifelong adoption? And what is the athlete’s role in moving culture forward?Today we explore these questions and tons more with the lord of all things overlooked and misunderstood, Malcolm Gladwell.I suspect most of you are very familiar with Malcolm. Perhaps you’ve listened to his sensational podcast Revisionist History, where every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether our collective stories got it right the first time.Or maybe you’ve read one of his six New York Times best sellers, such as The Tipping Point,Blink, Outliers, David and Goliath, and Talking to Strangers.Today’s conversation begins with running, extends to sport, broadens into a conversation about the role of athletes in moving society forward, and (of course) unearths other topics overlooked and misunderstood—all in true Gladwellian style.We talk about his latest podcast, Legacy of Speed, and why this terrain just might be his most Gladwellian project to date.Malcolm also shares several of his orthogonal ideas around education, publishing, the future of audio, creativity, and many more fascinating topics.Today’s episode is also viewable on YouTube.More about Malcom + show notes: https://bit.ly/richroll692aToday’s Sponsors:Athletic Greens: 75 whole food sourced ingredients designed to optimize 5 key areas of health.

Valter Longo PhD: Fasting & Nutrition Protocols for Longevity & Disease Prevention
When it comes to fasting, how do you parse fact from fiction? How do nutrition and lifestyle choices make or break disease? And how do we eat to live longer, healthier lives? To help us answer these questions, Dr.Valter Longo is back. Dr. Longo first graced the show back on RRP #367, where we covered the basics for fasting for longevity. But today we are getting granular on the science of longevity and nutrition, including an analysis of the latest research on fasting and what Dr. Longo calls the fasting-mimicking diet and its connection to healthspan extension & the prevention of disease.So today we pick up where we left off four years ago, covering:The latest research on fasting, longevity nutrition, and his fasting-mimicking diet;the 5 nutrition pillars of longevity, various fasting strategies, the acute versus chronic effects of food on metabolism, optimal protein intake based on age, high fat versus low-fat diets, and how to think about and contextualize continuous glucose monitoring;the science around rapamycin, metformin and sirtuins;and many other topics.Today’s episode is also viewable on YouTube: More about Dr. Longo + show notes:Today’s Sponsors:Levels: Making continuous glucose monitoring mainstream for the first time ever.

Camille Herron: Crushing World Records, Narrowing The Gender Gap, And The Power of Happiness
She collects world records with wild abandon. With each race, she narrows the gender gap, rewriting the rulebook on human capability with a broad smile and arms outstretched.Meet force of nature Camille Herron.Alongside 21 marathon victories, Camille won the Comrades Marathon in 2017, becoming the first athlete to win World Championship titles in the 50K, 100K and clocking the most miles in 24 hours (167.8 to be specific) of any woman in history. Just after turning 40, earlier this year Camille took home a big win at the Jackpot 100, beating all the men and besting her own 100-mile Road World Record.In addition, Camille is the youngest woman to reach 100,000-lifetime running miles and she holds my favorite world record—fastest marathon in a superhero costume—running 2:48 dressed head to toe as Spiderwoman. Today she shares her unique story, in her own unique way.How can a woman who commits herself to such hellish feats of physical performance remain so joyous?Today we dissect it all: Camille’s relentless positivity, her unique backstory, her unique, quality over quantity training style, how she thinks about closing the gender gap in ultra running, the importance of strength training, how blood work has impacted her focus on nutrition, the difference between trail running and road running, her near term goals and future ambitions. We also talk about how she manages being married to her coach Conor Holt, how running can be self-transcendent, and many other interesting topics.More about Camille + show notes: https://bit.ly/richroll689Today’s episode is also viewable on YouTube: https://bit.ly/camilleherron689aToday’s Sponsors:Whoop: The world’s most powerful fitness tracker is now waterproof.Get the WHOOP 4.O at WHOOP.com and use the code RICHROLL at checkout to get 15% off.Navitas Organics: Fine purveyors of delicious organic superfoods.For a limited time you can get 30% off your entire order by using the code RICHROLL at navitasorganics.com/richroll.Seed: Seed’s DS-01™ Daily Synbiotic combines 24 clinically verified and naturally-occurring, probiotic strains with plant-based prebiotics.
