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.

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.

[@christinewillis7545]

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.

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

[@philipswain4122]

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.

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."

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.

[@pamcollins2178]

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.

[@cathylehman7538]

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.

[@Sambagreentea10]

Rich's Questions @1:35:57, thought it would be helpful for anyone interested in exploring these. 1. What's important to you? 2. What are your values? 3. What is the quality of relationships that you have? 4. Where were you six months ago and where did you think you would be now? Does it line up, if not, why did not it line up? 5. What's the missing piece in your life? 6. What's the thing that brought you joy as a kid that you've pushed aside? 7. What is the most uncomfortable conversation that you've been running away from in your entire life? Do you have the courage to engage with it now? 8. Are you willing to put in the work and put in work to pull another layer of on who you are?

[@kbfam3825]

In my opinion, this is one of Rich's BEST shares yet. THANK YOU.

[@michellegrantvaughn1561]

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.

[@md8way]

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!

[@AustinMCraigDoesNeatStuff]

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?

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.

How is it possible for you to be speaking at such cross terms and yer not even note the contradiction? Chris' issue is essentially having too many friends and moving toward a more meaningful future - ie so hard being that popular, and having a surplus of attractiveness and social capital. The guest is the exact opposite - his issue was being unpopular, not attractive, and miserable. These two cant be amalgamated at all. So your tendency to relate here is so forces it's painful.

Anxiety is the root cause of all addiction. We must learn healthy coping strategies for a world with ever increasing anxiety.
