Reclaiming My Body: Why You Want to Listen to Rich Roll's Podcasts

In his own words, here is Rich Roll's introduction to this week's podcast . . .

I'm on a mission. And this mission is simple. It's to help you live and be better. Well, that's pretty vague. I get it. I know. This is not an exact science people. It's not reductionist either. Transformation can't be pinpointed to certain things in isolation like shortcuts or life hacks. There's plenty of other podcasts and blogs out there for you if that's what you're into. I'm talking about total transformation, and transformation by it's very definition is a messy thing. It's not linear. There's no equation or algorithm. There's no one size fits all, miracle yellow brick road. The biggest variable in this whole thing . . . is you.

Because change, improvement, self betterment, transformation, growth, these things are not necessarily things for those who need it. It's much more for those who want it. It requires strength. It requires faith, commitment. You've got to be comfortable in discomfort. You've got to be comfortable in not knowing what the results of these efforts are going to be.

And you know, I only have so much control over this process, when it come's to working with other people, which I do a lot. And that's a long way of saying I have no control. But what I can do is try to provide some guideposts. And that's really what this show is all about: long form, in-depth conversations with people who are not just interesting and accomplished people, not just forward thinking, paradigm breaking, expanded personalities with all sorts of things to break our collective consciousnesses here on Earth. But, like today's guest, people who themselves transformed because talking story, as they say in Hawaii, is powerful stuff.

In my experience, it is through direct relationship experience that we can connect with the underlying tools and principles that can assist us. They can not only inspire us, but elucidate some truths about who we all are at our core. Truths that can be translated by laser vibration that can send you on your own unique path: uncover and unlock and unleash your best and most authentic self.

There's only one way to learn, to really illuminate our lives. And that is to jump.
