Welcome to ‘Roll On’, the semi-bi-weekly version of the podcast where we indulge in some good-natured banter and ramble on matters of interest across culture, sports, art, literature, politics, self-betterment, and more.
My co-host is Mr. Adam Skolnick, an activist, veteran journalist, and David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me co-author. Adam writes about adventure sports, environmental issues, and civil rights for outlets such as The New York Times, Outside, ESPN, BBC, and Men’s Health. He is also the author of One Breath and still uses the ‘new dad’ excuse to avoid working on his novel.
Today Rich reflects on what he has learned from his almost ten years hosting this podcast, plus endurance news, recent episode recaps, streaming selects, listener questions and more.
“The solutions to most problems begin and end with conversation.”
– RICH ROLL
Specific topics discussed in today’s episode include:
- A behind-the-scenes recap of Rich’s recent podcasts with Ken Rideout, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Max Fisher;

- Michael Phelps’ 100-mile offshore challenge;

In addition, we answer the following listener questions:
