Has Cancel Culture Gone Too Far? Plus: Training Principles, Favorite Gear, Listener Questions & More

The Rich Roll Podcast - Un podcast de Rich Roll - Les lundis

“We have to foster a culture that is conducive to people learning and growing in the public sphere.”
Rich Roll

Welcome to another edition of Roll On—my bi-weekly deep dive into (semi) current events, topics of audience interest, and of course answers to your questions.

Once again serving up co-host duties is Adam Skolnick, an activist and veteran journalist perhaps best known as David Goggins' Can't Hurt Me co-author. Adam has written about adventure sports, environmental issues and civil rights for outlets such as The New York Times, Outside, ESPN, BBC, and Men’s Health. He is also the author of One Breath, which chronicles the life and death of America's greatest freediver, and is currently hard at work on a novel.

Some of the many topics explored in today's conversation include:

  • An update on ultrarunner Tommy Rivs' battle with lymphoma;
  • Endurance training first principles;
  • Why building a Zone 2 base is critical;
  • DHS failures & overreach;
  • Cancel culture: the Harper's Letter & Bari Weiss;
  • Gear review show & tell; and
  • Wins of the week: Kai Lenny & Valarie Allman

In addition we answer the following listener questions:

  • How to live with an angry & abusive alcoholic?
  • The paralyzing perils of self-help addiction
  • Daily habits to thrive
  • What changes should be made to public education?
  • Is it worth writing and sharing your story?
  • How to effectively work with your spouse or partner

Thank you to Jake from Kansas City, Jackson from Wyoming, Adam from Alberta, Canada, Jeremy in Sant Michael, Minnesota, and Henry in Los Angeles for your questions. If you want your query discussed, drop it on our Facebook Page, or better yet leave a voicemail at (424) 235-4626.  

The visually inclined can watch it all go down on YouTube. And as always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Enjoy!

Peace + Plants,
