What are the limits of human performance? How can we reimagine sport to boost lifelong adoption? Andwhat is the athlete’s role in moving culture forward?Today we explore these questions and tons more with the lord of all things overlooked and misunderstood,Malcolm Gladwell.I suspect most of you are very familiar with Malcolm. Perhaps you’ve listened to his sensational podcastRevisionist History,where every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether our collective stories got it right the first time.Or maybe you’ve read one of his six New York Times best sellers, such asThe Tipping Point,Blink,Outliers,David and Goliath,andTalking to Strangers.Today’s conversation begins with running, extends to sport, broadens into a conversation about the role of athletes in moving society forward, and (of course) unearths other topics overlooked and misunderstood—all in true Gladwellian style.We talk about his latest podcast, Legacy of Speed, and why this terrain just might be his most Gladwellian project to date.Malcolm also shares several of his orthogonal ideas around education, publishing, the future of audio, creativity, and many more fascinating topics.Today’s episode is also viewable on YouTube.More about Malcom + show notes: https://bit.ly/richroll692aToday’s Sponsors:Athletic Greens:75 whole food sourced ingredients designed to optimize 5 key areas of health.

With each race, she narrows the gender gap, rewriting the rulebook on human capability with a broad smile and arms outstretched.Meet force of nature Camille Herron.Alongside 21 marathon victories, Camille won the Comrades Marathon in 2017, becoming the first athlete to win World Championship titles in the 50K, 100K and clocking the most miles in 24 hours (167.8 to be specific) of any woman in history.

International criminal turned sober screen star.Richie’s story is also the subject of his new book,The Gangster’s Guide to Sobriety—a chronicle of his descent into the abyss and the redemptive slog that followed. It’s a tale so absurd and darkly comic, that it’s currently being developed for television by the creators of the hit show Silicon Valley.Today’s episode is also viewable on YouTube: bit.ly/richiestephens684More about Richie + show notes: bit.ly/richroll684Heads Up:This conversation is packed with expletives, profanity, and tales of violence.
