The Rich Roll Podcast

Max Jolliffe is the Moab 240 course record holder, elite ultrarunner, and one of endurance sport's more unlikely origin stories.

This conversation explores Max's multi-generational family history with addiction, the opioid crisis, his decade-long battle with heroin, the moment in a jail cell that changed everything, and how the tools of sobriety – surrender, teachability, the daily reprieve – became the foundation of an athletic career.

Along the way, we get into what it looks like to take an obsessive, addictive mind and aim it at something that gives back.

Max is the real deal. Enjoy!

Tiger Woods' recent DUI arrest has everyone asking why. I have some thoughts on that. And some personal experience.

In this solo episode, I draw on my own history with addiction to illuminate what's really happening beneath the spectacle. Because the question most people are asking presupposes rationality. And rationality is the first thing addiction obliterates.

This one goes deeper than Tiger.

Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, bestselling author, and one of the world's leading authorities on human happiness.

This conversation explores what he calls a psychogenic epidemic — a crisis of meaning driven by the very technology we can't put down. We discuss the three macronutrients of happiness, why our brains have been rewired to miss what matters most, the striver's curse, and an ancient escape plan for modern life.

Things get personal when he diagnoses my happiness on a scale of one to ten. The results are humbling.

I love this man. Take notes for this one. Enjoy!

Simon Hill is a nutritionist, physiotherapist, and host of “The Proof” podcast.

We dig into the newly released U.S. Dietary Guidelines: what changed, what the evidence actually supports, and how the final document diverged from the advisory committee's recommendations.

The fine print reveals a factual error a first-year nutrition student would catch, and a notable omission that raises serious questions about how these guidelines were made.

Simon is a trusted guide through difficult terrain. Enjoy!

Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, physician, associate professor at the University of Washington, and the author of “The Stimulated Mind.”

I came into this one with a lot on my mind. My mother has Alzheimer's, and for two years I've been watching this disease dismantle someone I love. What Tommy gave me was something I didn't expect: not more cause for fear, but a genuine roadmap. Cognitive decline is not inevitable. The levers of change are already in our hands.

This one is personal. I hope it lands that way for you, too.
