The Rich Roll Podcast

Nick Bilton is a Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair, a New York Times bestselling author, and screenwriter.

This conversation explores the power of story — how tech titans like Jobs, Dorsey, and Musk wield narrative as a weapon, and why AI may be the first technology capable of wiping us off the face of the planet. It also happens to come from someone currently writing the book and screenplay for Martin Scorsese's upcoming film starring Dwayne Johnson.

He also pulls back the curtain on Silicon Valley's reality distortion field and how completely it can play you.

Nick is a rare mind. This one is not to be missed. Enjoy!

This is a solo AMA focused on my diet and fitness routine in the aftermath of spinal fusion surgery.

I walk through the specifics — what I ate, how I trained, how I went from 207 pounds and completely atrophied to dropping 37 pounds while building lean muscle — and the salient lessons I've learned about patience, consistency, and approaching reinvention with a beginner's mind.

There's also a broader conversation about aging, agency, and what it means to stop trying to get back to who you were. Enjoy!

Max Jolliffe is the Moab 240 course record holder, elite ultrarunner, and one of endurance sport's more unlikely origin stories.

This conversation explores Max's multi-generational family history with addiction, the opioid crisis, his decade-long battle with heroin, the moment in a jail cell that changed everything, and how the tools of sobriety – surrender, teachability, the daily reprieve – became the foundation of an athletic career.

Along the way, we get into what it looks like to take an obsessive, addictive mind and aim it at something that gives back.

Max is the real deal. Enjoy!

Tiger Woods' recent DUI arrest has everyone asking why. I have some thoughts on that. And some personal experience.

In this solo episode, I draw on my own history with addiction to illuminate what's really happening beneath the spectacle. Because the question most people are asking presupposes rationality. And rationality is the first thing addiction obliterates.

This one goes deeper than Tiger.

Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, bestselling author, and one of the world's leading authorities on human happiness.

This conversation explores what he calls a psychogenic epidemic — a crisis of meaning driven by the very technology we can't put down. We discuss the three macronutrients of happiness, why our brains have been rewired to miss what matters most, the striver's curse, and an ancient escape plan for modern life.

Things get personal when he diagnoses my happiness on a scale of one to ten. The results are humbling.

I love this man. Take notes for this one. Enjoy!
