NLS 100: UNTHINKABLE Comeback: From ALCOHOLIC To BECOMING the FITTEST Man On The Planet with Rich Roll

NLS 100: UNTHINKABLE Comeback: From ALCOHOLIC To BECOMING the FITTEST Man On The Planet with Rich Roll

If you need some inspiration in your life this is the episode for you. We have on the show podcast, author and one of the fittest men in the world Rich Roll. At age 40, and after years of struggling with drugs, alcohol, and unhealthy living, Rich dedicated his diet to plants and his body to purposeful action. Just two years later, he began clocking top finishes at Ultraman World Championships and leading a community of others looking to transform their lives.

A graduate of Stanford University and Cornell Law School, Rich is a 55-year old, accomplished vegan ultra-endurance athlete and former entertainment attorney turned full-time wellness & plant-based nutrition advocate, popular public speaker, husband, father of 4 and inspiration to people worldwide as a transformative example of courageous and healthy living.

In 2012, Rich became a #1 bestselling author with the publication of his inspirational memoir Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself.

Taking up where the book leaves off, in 2013 Rich launched the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast, which persistently sits atop the iTunes top-10 lists. In 2014, Rich & his wife Julie Piatt published the bestselling cookbook and lifestyle primer, The Plantpower Way: Whole Food Plant-Based Recipes And Guidance For The Whole Family.

In May 2010, Rich and his ultra-colleague Jason Lester accomplished an unprecedented feat of staggering endurance many said was not possible. Something they call the EPIC5 CHALLENGE– an odyssey that entailed completing 5 ironman-distance triathlons on 5 islands of Hawaii in under a week. Commencing on Kauai, they travelled to Oahu, Molokai and Maui before finishing on the Big Island, following the course of the Ironman World Championships on the Kona coast.

In addition, Rich has been a top finisher at the 2008 and 2009 Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. Considered by many to be one of world’s most daunting and grueling endurance races on the planet, Ultraman is a 3-day / 320 mile double-ironman distance triathlon that circumnavigates the entire Big Island. Limited to only 35 carefully selected invitation-only participants from all over the world, Day 1 involves a 6.2 mile ocean swim immediately followed by a 90 mile cross-country cycling race. Day 2 is a 170 mile cycling race. And the event culminates on Day 3 with a 52 mile double marathon run on the searing hot lava fields of the Kona coast.

But what makes Rich truly remarkable is that less than two years prior to his first Ultraman, he didn’t even own a bike, let alone race one.

Although he competed as a butterfly swimmer at Stanford University in the late 80’s, Rich’s career was cut short by struggles with drugs and alcohol — an addiction that led him astray for the next decade, alienating friends, colleagues and family, landing him in jails, institutions and ultimately rehab at age 31. Although sober, Rich soon found himself 50 pounds overweight; the furthest thing from fit. Everything came to head on the eve of his 40th birthday. Defeated by a mere flight of stairs that left him buckled over in pain, he foresaw the almost certain heart attack looming in his near future.

"It was time for a major life change." – RICH ROLL

The day immediately following his staircase epiphany, Rich overhauled his diet, became a dedicated vegan, put on his running shoes and jumped back into the pool. It wasn’t long before ambition took hold and his quest to participate in Ultraman slowly began. Two years later, 50 pounds lighter, and fueled by nothing but plants, he surprised the triathlon & ultra communities by not only becoming the first vegan to complete the 320-mile über-endurance event, but by finishing in the top 10 males (3rd fastest American) with the 2nd fastest swim split — all despite having never previously completed even a half-ironman distance triathlon.

In 2009, Rich returned to Ultraman twice the athlete he was the year prior. Despite a stacked field, he took home first day honors with a blistering 2:21 swim victory (6th fastest of all time) and a third fastest bike leg to win the day with a 10 minute lead on the field. On Day 2 Rich suffered a serious bike crash but managed to salvage the day in 6th place overall. With an injured knee and shoulder Rich nonetheless went on to a 7:51 Day 3 double-marathon to hold onto 6th place overall.

Rich’s plant-fueled feats of boundary-pushing athleticism have been featured on CNN and major publications including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, The Huffington Post, Stanford Magazine, Men’s Health Living, VegNews, Triathlete, Outside, 3/GO Magazine and Men’s Fitness Magazine, which named Rich as one of the “25 Fittest Men in the World.”

I can't think of a better guest for our 100th episode of Next Level Soul. Enjoy my conversation with Rich Roll.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: QUANTUM JUMPING: How KARMA & PAST LIVES Affect Shifting to PARALLEL VERSIONS of You! with Gaia Chinniah

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: QUANTUM JUMPING: How KARMA & PAST LIVES Affect Shifting to PARALLEL VERSIONS of You! with Gaia Chinniah

On today’s episode, we welcome the wonderful Gaia Chinniah to dive into the mystery of past life soul progression and the interconnectedness of parallel lives. Imagine living multiple versions of your existence simultaneously, each influencing the other in ways both subtle and profound. Gaia takes us on a journey through these unseen dimensions, where memories, actions, and energies from other realms affect who we are in the here and now.Gaia Chinniah, a gifted healer, shares her path from a life built on societal expectations to one of deep spiritual discovery. She reveals how, at the age of 33, her life took a dramatic turn when she stepped into her spiritual power, a shift guided by her connection with ancient knowledge and ancestral wisdom. Gaia candidly reflects, “I went 33 years pretending to be someone else, and I didn’t even know it.” Her awakening opened the doors to understanding the impact of past lives on the present and the role of parallel selves influencing the now.In this profound conversation, Gaia explains that many of our challenges stem from unresolved energies in other lifetimes or dimensions. She describes working with clients whose current struggles are deeply tied to parallel versions of themselves. Gaia recounts a powerful experience of helping a woman who could not conceive a child because of trauma experienced by a parallel version of herself. By healing that trauma in one dimension, the woman was finally able to move forward in this life.Gaia emphasizes that “everything is a ceremony,” a reminder that we are constantly creating and concluding cycles. Our souls are always in progression, moving forward as we learn and heal from our past actions and the actions of our parallel selves. Gaia’s ability to channel between dimensions and help individuals access hidden parts of themselves is a testament to the power of inner work.In closing, Gaia offers a glimpse into how we can each tap into this multidimensionality. By meditating and connecting with our higher selves, we can access the wisdom of our parallel lives, bringing their knowledge into the present to guide us. She invites us to ask, “Where is another version of me that needs the ability I have now to step into my power?”Please enjoy my conversation with Gaia Chinniah.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

NLS 574: Historian DISCOVERS Hidden ATLANTIS PROPHECY for HUMANITY'S Future in This CYCLE! with Michael Le Flem

Michael Le Flem discusses his book "Visions of Atlantis," exploring Edgar Cayce's clairvoyant insights on Atlantis. Cayce, who channeled information from a superconscious mind, suggested Atlantis existed around 50,000 BC, with three major destructions: 50,000 BC, 28,000 BC, and 10,000 BC. Michael corroborated Cayce's readings with historical, geological, and archaeological data, finding evidence supporting Cayce's claims. He also mentions the Yuga cycle ending in 2025, marking a transition period. Michael emphasizes the importance of open-mindedness in historical research and the potential for new discoveries. Michael Le Flem discusses the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, discovered in 1877, and its connection to the legend of Atlantis. He references an 1877 Scientific American article that suggests the ridge might be Atlantis. Michael explores historical changes, like the 1902 Martinique volcanic eruption, and the possibility of catastrophic events. He emphasizes the importance of an open-minded approach to history and mythology. Michael also shares personal philosophies on life, love, and the ultimate purpose of life, advocating for individuality and relaxation.

Far from child’s play, wonder is the one radical quality that has led exemplary people from all walks of life to move toward the fruition of their deepest dreams and wildest endeavors—and it can do so for you, too. “Wonder is a quiet disruptor of unseen biases,” writes Jeffrey Davis. “It dissolves our habitual ways of seeing and thinking so that we may glimpse anew the beauty of what is real, true, and possible.” Rich with wisdom, inspiring stories, and practical tools, Tracking Wonder invites us to explore how the lost art of wonder can inspire a life of greater joy, possibility, and purpose.
