As the world bears witness to a raging war in Ukraine, more climate crisis consequences, and countless human rights catastrophes across the globe, it’s incumbent upon us to double down on hope.
Meanwhile, in an effort to divine meaning amidst the madness, today we discuss these global events along with headlines from the frontlines of endurance, items that have captured our fancy, and listener questions pivoting on the subject of sobriety—all with a light dusting of randomness you’ve come to know and love.
As always, my co-host for today’s rendition of ‘Roll On’ is Mr. Adam Skolnick, an activist and veteran journalist known as David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me co-author. Adam writes 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 the author of One Breath and still uses the ‘new dad’ excuse to avoid working on his novel.
Topics discussed in today’s episode include:
- The launch of Voicing Change II and the Golden Ticket Sweepstakes—where 6 lucky winners will take home a score of prizes valued over $1,100;
- Heidi Zuckerman’s newest art book Conversations With Artists Volume III;
- Jesse Itzler’s shotgun attempt at Ultraman Arizona on no formal training;
- The Russian invasion of Ukraine, the towering bravery of the Ukrainian people, and the war’s global impact; and
- The apocalyptic floods devastating Queensland and New South Wales, Australia’s relationship with coal & climate change, and how you can help.
“We have to find ways to make sense of the beauty and pain that exists within humanity and this extraordinary planet.”
– RICH ROLL
As always, we close things out by taking a few listener questions. Today’s inquiries all relate to the subject of sobriety:
- How do you talk about addiction and sobriety with your kids?
- What advice do you have for someone navigating recovery and treatment?
- How do you maintain a relationship when one partner drinks and the other doesn’t?
Thank you to Julie from Kansas City, Nathan from Boston, and Kate from Reno 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 podcast streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
