What does it take to stay on your path when everything's falling apart?
Description
Rich Roll gets brutally honest about the seven-year financial nightmare that nearly broke him — cars repossessed, dumping rubbish behind grocery stores, racing against house foreclosure while being featured on the cover of Outside Magazine.
This isn't the polished hero's journey.
This is the real thing.
Part of a longer conversation form ep 484, today Rich and Osher discuss:
The dissonance between public success and private collapse
How his wife Julie's "Jedi mindset" became their survival strategy
Why he treated the repo man with dignity instead of resentment
The neuroscience of movement as a pattern interrupt for stuck thinking
The single question that kept him from going back to his old job.
If you've ever been one bad month away from losing everything or wondered whether your dream is worth the cost, this conversation will stay with you.
