After a brief hiatus, the boys are back with another edition of ‘Roll On’, the version of the podcast where we ramble on matters of interest across culture, sports, art, politics, self-betterment, and more.
This might be the most Roll On Roll On of all Roll Ons. A classic “old school” Roll On, if we’ve even been doing this long enough to earn that description, we cover headlines and controversies from the world of endurance, discuss abortion rights in America and the Supreme Court’s rightward shift, crack wise and round things out with answers to questions posed on our voicemail.
As always, my co-host is Mr. Adam Skolnick, an activist, veteran journalist, and 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 also the author of One Breath and still uses the ‘new dad’ excuse to avoid working on his novel.
“To be successful you have to work hard—but ultimately, success means avoiding burnout, and designing a life that aligns with your values.”
