Jedidiah Jenkins: The Pursuit of Wonder, The Power of Story & Finding Truth in Adventure

Jedidiah Jenkins: The Pursuit of Wonder, The Power of Story & Finding Truth in Adventure

Author, global adventurer, social entrepreneur, human rights activist & lawyer, filmmaker and overall beautiful human. All of these labels certainly befit today's guest, yet all somehow manage to fall short. I can't quite recall how Jedidiah Jenkins first came across my radar. What I do remember is happening upon his rather stunning Instagram feed as he neared the end of a spectacular bicycle powered journey in Patagonia. Each photograph more arresting than the one prior, every image conveyed it's own story that perfectly informed an engaging larger narrative. But it's Jedidiah's accompanying entries — beautifully composed, contemplative and quite poetic — that set his feed apart. Writings themed less by place than interior geography, it's Instagram as dynamic journal — an experiment in blogging that camps out hundreds of miles beyond any travelogue, blog or vlog you've ever before seen. I was hypnotized. Who is this guy? A graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts and Pepperdine University School of Law, Jedidiah began his professional career as one of the founding leaders of Invisible Children, the small non-profit that overnight became world renown courtesy of a little social justice campaign you might have heard of called #Kony2012– a campaign that redefined internet virality. The progeny of adventurer journalist parents who quite famously graced the cover of National Geographic walking across America in the 1970’s, I think it’s fair to say that despite his deskbound legal career, Jedidiah and the outdoors had a little destiny to sort out. And so, to celebrate his 30th birthday, Jedidiah quit the job he loved to unconsciously follow in his parents' footsteps, scare himself, embrace the unknown and, like a character out of a Mark Twain novel, light out on the territory. In August, 2013, on two wheels powered only by two legs, Oregon to Patagonia began in Florence, Oregon and culminated in Patagonia is January 2015. A sixteen-month, 10,000 mile journey elegantly and thoughtfully captured and shared on his incredibly popular Instagram feed and soon to be the subject of his first book In so many ways, Jedidiah is exactly who I expected him to be. And yet his wit and warmth somehow managed to surprise me — a guy deeply connected to his personal truth and just so refreshingly present. This is a phenomenal conversation about: * the pursuit of wonder & adventure * the transformative power of story * the risk & reward of following your passion * global wealth disparity * dependence upon the kindness of strangers * combatting our culture of skepticism * behind the scenes of Kony 2012; and * the beauty and peril of pursuing the creative life Jedidiah is a very special guy. I am very excited to share this one with you. In all sincerity, I hope you enjoy the exchange. Peace + Plants, Rich

Introducing The Rich Roll Podcast

Introducing The Rich Roll Podcast

In the debut episode of the Rich Roll Podcast, Rich converses with his wife Julie Piatt about life in Kauai, sustainable lifestyle, enhancing your personal creativity and homeschooling. Finally! I've been talking about doing a podcast for what seems like eons. For whatever reason, I just couldn't seem to get around to actually figuring out how to do it, let alone get it done. But I finally found the time to sort through at least the initial barrier configuration issues and am happy to announce my virgin episode, which features my wife and (much) better half Julie Piatt. We are still sorting through some tech issues so it's far from studio polished, aside from the killer intro / outro music courtesy of my very talented son Tyler and nephew Harrison! The sound from this episode is admittedly a bit echo-y due to the warehouse recording environment– and I have yet to configure it for video and livestream broadcasting, which I am currently working on. But rather than wait until I had everything perfect, I wanted to just begin. Start slow and organically and let it grow as I find my voice and legs so to speak. I'm far from a professional broadcaster, but I hope that through this effort I can bring some insights and interesting people to your ears that will both enlighten, provoke and entertain. First off – this is NOT a “triathlon training / coaching” styled podcast. There are plenty of those out there already that are very well done ( Zen Triathlon and IMTalk are my faves for this), so if you are looking for a podcast that is very narrowly tailored to this specific subject and this subject only, then I fear my program may not be exactly what you are looking for. And yet, I implore to nonetheless give it a trial run with an open mind (and ears). Instead, my plan is to provide a long-form discussion platform to raise and converse about a wide variety of subjects that interest me. Certainly, triathlon, running, cycling, swimming, training, fitness in general and everything that goes into that is of course a subject that interests me dearly, so of course I will be programming helpful information in this regard. But my focus will broaden from there into plant-based nutrition for the athlete and everyman (and woman); wellness in general; spirituality; yoga & meditation; and sustainable lifestyle. Most importantly, my desire is to create a platform to help lead the way to unlocking the best version of yourself. How to live more authentically. And thrive from the heart. I hope you enjoy this first episode. Many more in the works and I hope to record at least 2 to 3 of these per week. I am very interested in your thoughts on the episode, comments in general and ideas for future episodes. In the comments section below, PLEASE let me know what YOU think, would be interested in hearing me talk about in future episodes, people you would like me to interview, and anything else on your mind. I'm wide open. Peace + Plants, Rich
