This is a fan fav episode. Are there times when we can get a better result by letting go? What role does pain tolerance play in addiction? Is a plant-based diet really that restrictive? For endurance athlete, author, and podcaster Rich Roll, these kinds of questions are just the tip of the iceberg. In today’s episode of Impact Theory, Rich and Tom explore the landscape of ideas ranging everywhere from spirituality and his experience with 12 Steps, all the way to plant-based protein, vegan bodybuilders, and everywhere in between. So whether you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you’re feeling out of touch with your purpose, or you simply want to know where to find the best vegan cheese on the planet, then this episode is for you.
