Jesse Itzler: Tackling Life Plateaus & Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable | Rich Roll Podcast

I'm in aa living in recovery for 5 yrs. Your podcast is one of my favorite parts of that life. I can't begin to tell you how to tell you what a positive influence you have been. Thank you so much.

A really good episode : rerunning it was the right thing to do !!!

It's so interesting listening to hyper-successful people. There are traits that are thrown around like 1)Grit, being relentless and never giving up 2)Talent 3)Luck, but 4th thing that I wish someone would focus on is how many lie, nonstop to get where they are. Jessie lied, a lot, making up his credentials, even his identity to get meetings with people and get high power people to trust him. Now of course it doesn't matter and it's a funny story b/c he "made it" but I basically think almost anyone who reaches this level of wealth or success did so by being pretty dishonest on many levels.

I love this Podcast! Jesse and David Googins are definite inspiring guys!

I am a Jesse Itzler fan. This re-pod was enjoyable and it kick-started my morning. Living With a Seal was a great read and if you read it and liked it, I recommend Living With the Monks by Jesse. Another enjoyable read. 👍🙏

While mastering discipline and doing hard things has tremendous growth opportunities, soon enough it will become ones gage. It seems then the most hard thing to do would be to let go and be easy with yourself. I’ve seen this in my own life as I mastered discipline and then became addicted to it. From there you can amp it up but with enough awareness you will find you are running/hiding from yourself. To truly be present with yourself in the moment and what will give you the most growth/healing in that moment is the true discipline. If our behavior is not rooted in love and joy- what is the point? ☯️

Doing my first 10k tomorrow, but been having achilles problems for 2 weeks now.. so not sure how it will go, but this speech was a real boost!

I haven't listened to this particular episode yet but I'm actually commenting on your back pain that you mentioned in the last episode. I don't know whether you read these comments or not but my recommendation is look into the work of Dr John Sarno. It's pretty fascinating and I would also argue that his work is based in science. He has since passed away but I think you would find people like him Dr Dan Ratner and numerous other people who Now understand the connection between the mind and body and chronic and severe symptoms including severe pain. Anyway I hope you feel better and love the podcast!

Man, I'd love for Goggins to be my roommate for a month or were my personal mentor. I'm going to try doing more challenging goals. My whole life is mostly filled with shortcuts that has stunted my growth severely. It wasn't until I was 30 (I'm 38 now) that I realized I needed to stop seeking a life of extreme comfort and to start getting more comfortable with being uncomfortable. In my 20s, I was an idling slacker who thought creating a life of super low stress and easiness was the key to a happy life. I thought it was senseless how people sought to do challenging things like run marathons or even apply to prestigious colleges. I thought it was merely to feed the ego and have bragging rights, and I was too enlightened to suffer through challenges. But I now totally understand the benefits of challenges now. I wasted my 20s doing almost literally nothing. But what's done is done, and I will continue my journey of challenges!

As honest and vulnerable as he is, top 1%ers still don't get how "exclusive" and "elitist" , how"first world" having the freedom to talk about this and totally having sherpas like Goggins sounds. But it still has an audience, and that fuels indemnity from the global family. Us, not them

I really like this podcast (love all of them to be honest) the only thing that struck me is the potential difference of a man’s view that he has that much control of his own time. That he has the power to divide his time in such a way. He shares ‘his’ time with his wife & children. As a working mum, with a working husband, I do find the same can’t be translated to my situation. That divide is still a shame. I have that drive and I have that fearlessness too… i just don’t have the control over my time. I hope some guys listening to this give their partners the chance to control theirs 🤞🏼

I was thinking this was new episode with Jesse ☹️🤯

3:40 I'm like that too
