[@calmestlad]

Does anyone else look for new RR podcasts early in the week, I really look forward to them

[@jamilynn6628]

I’m a leadership nerd and this guest nails it. Whether leading a team at Starbucks or a few good men in the open sea…..it comes down to what’s discussed at minute 57 of this podcast. Period. ❤️🤘🏼

[@claudieharris9046]

I'm an older lady who's never been interested in sports and I found this talk fascinating. It flew by for me, in spite of the unusual length. Jason is a truly fascinating person to listen to !! THANK YOU for this treat, Rich!

[@dawnmakinson6086]

Just what you said! Can’t wait to see the doc and then the Hollywood movie!!!!!

[@olivermiles4225]

this may be one of the most inspiring and wholesome things i have ever listened to. thanks rich!

[@Lyndabeth7777]

I was so inspired and learned so much from this conversation. The last five minutes was an exceptional commentary on trust, vulnerability, and the power of storytelling.Thank you!

[@phreak074]

As a US Navy submarine veteran I can say that the open ocean can humble anyone. Even normal and calm ocean can be unexpected and throw you off. The isolation, lack of help available from the world and dangers in every moment will breed the strongest comaraderie with your shipmates even if you hate them lol. Let alone the insanity of pushing your body beyond what a normal person could even think is possible, I couldn't really imagine traversing the open ocean on such a small ship o_O.

[@philippklober8463]

Amazing, inspiring. Can’t wait to watch the documentary “Chasing” once it’s released.

[@taylornixon1720]

Your podcast helped me change my life. Won’t go into a ton of detail, but I just wanted to thank you for uploading these great talks with extraordinary people such as yourself. Everyday now I see anyone can do what you would expect to be impossible.

[@barbararussell897]

I appreciate your podcast, as I know it's a safe place that will always raise my spirit, when I'm watching tv, as my company. Thank you

[@mihaelam8339]

A classic Rich Roll episode. I really like when we get to see people that push both their bodies and minds, I find that the most inspiring. What a treat. Thanks.

[@lynnnewton5520]

Can you provide a link to the documentary?

[@silas375]

Super insightful on what makes a team and the leaders in it-thanks for sharing Rich!

[@mralexander99]

It is stories like this that make my heart cry, smile and sing embodying me with a new vigor to have the courage to embark on a "deeper dive" into the mystery of being -- within myself and extending to others....the bond that is forged by these guys is immeasurable and primal....How Sweet It Is❤️‍🔥

[@103mohdtabrez7]

Great podcast l learned a lot sir

[@dawnmakinson6086]

I listened to this on Spotify and jumped back over here to comment amazing story amazing interview!

[@justindepierro]

Was able to listen to this one on the way to Philly Marathon yesterday. Running with my training partner, I knew at the half way point that it wasn’t my day but I was obligated to getting my good friend to the 20 mile mark which set him up for a tremendous first marathon finish. This interview with Jason really got me through some rough patches because I knew I was accountable for my team mate and was able to finished with my chin up. Awesome pod as always. ✌️🌱

[@stephenroyal6328]

So enjoyable and interesting and well done Rich. Was like reading a book with flashback chapters just when they're needed. Flowed so well.

[@bretstevens262]

Great conversation! After I listened to the conversation, if you had told me it was 2 and half hours, I would have said no way. It felt like 15 minutes flew by! You da man, man, Rich!

[@weblancaster]

What an amazing episode. It brought tears to my eyes just to imagine the two of them. Thank you!

[@justincrasi4638]

This is my new favorite podcast, awesome stuff

[@marillavanbeuren8572]

One of the most incredible talks I have ever heard, thank you so much

[@erinwill6743]

The ship capsizing analogy also applies to marriage. All to often spouses get in the day to day routine and normalcy od passing each other and the craziness of taking care of kids. You need to sit together daily and remember why you started on this journey together and where you are going.

[@CherylHuse]

Love all your videos Rich! 💐

[@AnthonySaccoM]

Rowing is my Jam!

[@evosportychop8332]

I am a fan of RR and a sucker for adventure, that's why I tuned in. I am surprised at just how much I enjoyed this episode considering ocean rowing has not been on my radar

[@k.f.241]

Great interview! Best wishes from Croatia 🙏🏻

[@CoolInOlympia]

So fascinating!!!!

[@beerman204]

World class athlete and person

[@virtusmindset]

Great video!

[@catsteinhilb2880]

This is fascinating. I’m interested in learning this sport …not to this degree mind you…but it’s time to learn something new.

[@JFlynn1207]

Good on ya. I had the exact opposite reaction 😂

[@BradGoodridge]

bucket list

[@eleanorbertuch135]

Awesome amazing and so interesting 👏👏👏👏

[@jessepratt6525]

[@apedog999]

[@noahbrandt1884]

[@apedog999]

@@noahbrandt1884 yo thank you appreciate it

[@robmiller817]

Damn dude! Crazy

[@emeishar]

Where do I find the documentary mentioned in the movie? Can't find on Netflix. What's the name of the movie?

[@garrettf4435]

Where do we access the documentary that you mentioned a few times?

[@nigelcunningham8264]

Can someone advise where the documentary, referred to through the podcast, is available?

[@supriya55]

when/ere can we find the doc?

[@polski1986]

Is the full Documentary released ??

[@marillavanbeuren8572]

Rich, is there any way a layperson such as me can view the documentary you keep referring to?

[@laurabellman7682]

Rich, this is your best podcast ever. (And I hated the 3 guy podcast you did the last time.)

[@makellyjt]

Might try using the earlobe next time needing blood iested while active

[@jamilynn6628]

❤️

[@ricksteves1973]

[@yakie46]

If you listen to Hubermanlab, you should consider 1,5 hours on/off

[@jankymcjangles3817]

Lemme join your team, I wanna gooooooooooooo

[@liamkelly6098]

I'm losing interest with these guests recently. A year ago was great now just not the same> Sticking with it and hopefully the theme changes.

[@mihaelam8339]

Why? This is a classic tho'. I don't like the 'life coach' talks myself, but this is not one.

[@_gc6406]

Where can I watch the documentary? Apologies if it has been posted already. I did not find it.
