    I'm only 43 minutes into the interview, but this is one of the most interesting guests you've had on your show. What comes through so clearly is that he is himself. No masks, no pretensions, no fabrications. It's refreshing.

      Thank you to everyone here who is vegan for the animals. I would like to interview Rich. I’d like to talk to him vystopia and veganphobia. Do you think he experiences either of them? I don’t. I think he never talks about the animals because he never considers them in his veganism. Am I wrong? Can someone point to where he has ever talked about their intense and never-ending suffering and our moral duty to be vegan for THEM (not for ourselves).

    Finding like hearted humans, not like minded, who are coming from the same place of compassion and love and in the like heartness we can be open minded to different thoughts, ways, become comfortable with not knowing, grow. A total paraphrasing but still so golden and beautiful

    Mr Obrien, thank you for everything you shared here. I greatly appreciate your comment about the double standard. It's nice to hear such an accomplished man say it out loud.
    Mr Roll, as usual, this is a wonderful interview. Very insightful, it is so good to have the words for finding/take note of like hearted people. I love that!❤
    I take pause at your concept of what is the "everyman."
    It is misleading. If you are calling Mr Obrien that because he doesn't have the level of fame and athletic accomplishment as say David Goggins, well, I see your point.
    He is, of course, exceptional in his brilliant mindfulness and encouragement. Hard work is obviously something he is very familiar with!!!
    But make no mistake, he is not every man. I am a nurse working in Arkansas and make a middle class income.Your average "everyman" in the US would have become bankrupt from medical debt and would very likely have lost at least a leg in a similar situatuon. He received exceptional and privileged care that is all too often reserved for the affluent people in America.
    All that aside, yes, he is brilliant and incredible and inspiring. But one is lacking relatable sensitivity and understanding to think even a small majority of Americans would have the resources his high paying job and insurance allowed him, so he was able to continue with the life he has. I fear this reply will make me sound angry or bitter, which I am not. I do wish M Obrien or you would have acknowledged he was and still is financially very privileged compared to the average American.😮

      @jopalmer4392 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      God bless the NHS in the UK, the same standards of care are available to all regardless of income. Yes it's under resourced and Brits rightly complain about this, but may this core principle never be compromised!

    • @wildhorses6817
      @wildhorses6817 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Totally agree, his neighbor was a Doctor, M.D. and certainly made a huge difference in his care. That is Rare for most people. Many are totally ignored by the medical establishment with very serious illnesses. His experience is very rare and privileged.
      His corporation and his mentors offered amazing influence also. Most do not have that. This is not something any of us can expect.

    • @msbeecee1
      @msbeecee1 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      100% correct. He obviously had elite level access to highest medical care. "Normal" would be stonewalled as a trauma case, not getting 5-star surgeons, being forced to accept worst case scenarios, languishing in substandard rehabs. And that's just the medical care. But he also had the private tour of Auschwitz and the executive coaches for his mindset.

    Much thanks to you sir, and this amazingly "normal/everyguy" guest who was, in actuality - truly extraordinary. Together you have provided us with immeasurable value to continue with our day to day struggles and triumphs. Bless you two. 🙏

    THIS. This man is a gem. Thank you for this, I was able shift threw feelings I had as a wife of someone who was in an accident. We are from New York. My husband was doing the Mayors Cup criterium race in Boston in 2014. It was a beautiful Sept. day and we had our 6 yr old in tow who was used to watching daddy race. (we had just been up in Portsmouth NH the weekend before) so we were in the most historic part of the city on a gorgeous day. The race starts, and he was doing great. He was and still is obsessed with cycling.
    All of a sudden the race pauses,, and the hundreds of racers continue to go round and round but slowed. Someone yelled out that there was a "man down". So, not thinking much we continued to watch the cyclists looking for Daddy. "where is daddy" I said. I was really curious and not worried. My husband was a volunteer fireman always helping \, perhaps he's at the scene... so I walked toward the ambulance and scene. My heart stopped, my husband was being lifted up on a stretcher into an ambulance in front of the Old State House in steps away from where the Boston Massacre happened hundreds of years ago. We hop in the front of ambulance and the EMT said your husband has a "big boo boo" they looked really. pale and told me we were heading to Mass General trauma unit (which was a familiar b/c the year before we had the Boston Marathon bombing). I had no answers from surgeons. He was rushed to surgery.
    Long story short, they all went down in the peloton and his arm got caught on those sharp orange/ red barriers they put up for races. It was a super long surgery and nobody called me. I was alone in a city I'm not really familiar with. I had a 6 year old. I walked around not to show tear with her in the public garden looking at ducks. He'd been hit in Colorado bad once ,so Micheal made me laugh bought what his wife said initially. This made me cry, it was powerful.
    So relatable being the human experience and also cycling. They were able to save his arm.Mass General is amazing. I thank god, the amount of blood on the sidewalk was crazy. Blood at the Old State House. - surreal. We had to extend our time in Boston and I was hearing from relatives "how can you let him cycle after getting hit by cars and now this" this wasn't easy and I felt like people blamed me. Anyone who knows cycling, you cannot stop them from riding. bike was much bigger than people understood. lots of rehab, physical therapy and trips to doctors in Boston. He got back on the bike though, of course as soon as he could.i support him, took awhile but I get it now. We love Boston and visit all the time, I feel connected to the special city. Thanks for having Micheal on to tell his story.

      There are 'martyrs' who give out of codependency. They give as away to avoid their own misery. They aren't happy, but just avoiding their own misery by focusing on others. I know because I have done that myself. Cults are similar.

    Ive been listening to podcasts since podcasts became a thing because I have been looking for like hearted people most of my life. I have always felt like a Buddha baby who was born in a swamp. 2010 was my wakeup year...as I see it now. After that I began funding glimpses of my true self in interesting ways. If you cannot find inspiration in your society the internet is a "Rich" source if you know where to look. This beautiful hearted guest...and your conversation Rich was one of the best I've ever heard. It has set me up for a beautiful day of joy and contribution. Thank you. ❤

    I heard it mentioned on the cast that Michael is an “every-man” - alluding to him being just an average guy in the world - and this is SO far from the truth. Michael is astonishing, extraordinary, and so, so above the norm. I loved listening to every minute of his message - so engaging. Thank you for having him. ❤

    This has been the hardest interview to get through. I survived something I shouldn’t have and really struggled. Rather than being grateful, I had a “f it, I shouldn’t be here” attitude which was terrible. I’m appreciative of this interview. The toughest ones are the most impactful. I still don’t know where I’m headed but I’m better for this. I would like to hear from people who didn’t go straight to a place of gratitude - or maybe that’s the story I tell. 🧐❤️

    So I signed up on the Pause Breathe and Reflect App. His comments on breath-work and meditation being granola hit home for me and I laughed out loud when he was saying that to Rich! I know that I need to be more present and mindful. Sitting meditating in silence is way too hard for me. Only a few days in on his format, but I like the vibe and how short these guided meditations are. I would like to have this guys chill attitude, even just a little bit. Love the concept about rippling, and PBR. I know that I have to “do the work”, but I’m really enjoying this format. The world needs more bridges, not more walls. This guy is building bridges! Peace.

    Thinking further on this: It is unrealistic and immature even, perhaps, to think you are not going to have any more bad days. Of course you are. Loved ones will die, shitty things will happen. What is important is how you choose to deal with the bad things that life will undoubtedly send your way. Saying it is your last bad day is an impossible standard to uphold.

      Thank you to everyone here who is vegan for the animals. I would like to interview Rich. I’d like to talk to him about vystopia and veganphobia. Do you think he experiences either of them? I don’t. I think he never talks about the animals because he never considers them in his veganism. Am I wrong? Can someone point to where Rich has ever talked about their intense and never-ending suffering and our moral duty to be vegan for THEM (not for ourselves). And what about you? Have you seen Dominion Movement on TH-cam yet? If so, come to my channel‘s comment section to tell everyone what you saw.

    Rich you hit the gold star with Michael as one of your most important guests to listen and learn from. You and Michael ARE the role models Humanity NEEDS to become our best version of ourselves. I highly doubt if Michael spends too much time on some irrelevant social media platforms or fills his heart and mind with violence watching porn. The BEST way to become a BETTER version of yourself is to learn from the BEST people on the planet who have the kind of heart you and Michael have.

    Thanks for this amazing inspering Podcast, I have similar experience but actually wanted to died and was ready for it. When I woke up from Colon Ractal Cancer sugery at 20.5 years old , I was pissed but the Medical team made me appriciate and I turned my behaviour around and inspired others to cope with this illness as the outcome is for life, which is pretty disgusting but life goes on. I am grateful for everything. Just sadden by humans around me who judge me for the colour of my skin and I made the mistake of moving to Australia from UK which is a racist country and makes me wanna cry , I am very active , motivated, upbeat person and found some individuals are threatend by me without understanding me. So I keep away from these nasty Australians (not all)

    Covid was a shock because we were used to having a cure or a vaccine that prevented an epidemic. It was a wake-up call in a sense. At this time, after accepting awareness that we are one, our country splits and we slide straight into either Democratic freedom or dictatorship and the King and his slaves. We are once again apprehensive about where our country is headed. Love and kindness again awaits …. ❤. Loved your podcast, it does give me hope and trust that common sense and kindness will win and become the new ripples.

    If it were my world, I would send all teenagers to travel to a country if of a completely different language and culture, have them live with a family of another religious faith for a week or two. They would see how most cultures and religions are fundamentally the same. They want to be neighbourly, worldly , be open and kind, to be honest and help out families in need bc anyone could end up homeless, penniless. Travelling to Spain and living with a Spanish family opened my eyes. I wish that on everyone. My husband who’s Welsh went on a “high-school” 2 week cruise, publicly funded . They got the travel with fresh eyes. It’s important to feel vulnerable and get through with a smile and that vulnerableness to make your way, taking that risk.
    At least , students should be able to do these exchanges within their own countries.
    And taking care of all different types of animals…. All of the above is teaching empathy, which I feel is lacking these days :(
    The simplest, cheapest version is, talk to everyone from everywhere. Don’t be afraid. Everyone has a story.
    But it’s not my world.

Thank you or anyone on your team for this consideration for a profound shift in how we see and are being with another in a learnable, teachable, measurable, and practical way🙏 Even more fascinating is his authoring and thinking of his most profound life’s work in a book called “Quantum Change.”
