The Rich Roll Podcast

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.

Marcus and Amber Capone are the subjects of the Netflix documentary “In Waves and War” and founders of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions. We discuss Marcus's 13 years in Naval Special Operations, the TBI and suicidal ideation that followed six combat deployments, the marriage that nearly didn't survive, the Stanford research into ibogaine treatment, and the mission they've built for veterans who are out of options. I also share — publicly for the first time — my own experience with iboga, 19 days prior. Marcus and Amber are remarkable examples of service. Enjoy!
