After 2 suicide attempts and a divorce I`m 31 now, gave up drinking for good couple days ago, went vegan and started working out. You gentlemen are my both heroes who inspired me for this journey! Thank you!

I am plant based and working on alcohol-free because of you two specifically. Rich I can't get enough of you and Srimati, but somehow the addition of John Joseph is my golden ticket to me getting my life in f-ing line. Power trio for mind, body, spirit, and my salty take (JJ that's all you MF.). I'll thank you all here and everywhere I can, thank you.

Can't get enough of this guy ! He has so much wisdom and experience, two and a half hours is just too short.

« Meat is for pussies » he said. This is pure genius.

I went vegan Jan. 1 2018. I will never ever go back! These two are such an inspiration on so many levels! I could listen to them all day! Keep having JJ on the podcast please!!

His gritty accent makes the highly enlightened narrative even more entertaining and interesting.

I had a thought today. When the body is given a chance (as in not eating acid ash forming foods), the cells begin to function properly, and the body repairs itself. When we stop manifesting negativity and unconsciousness, our aliveness and happiness are given a chance to flourish. I want to rant about the first 60 years of my life, and how it's all turning around, finally, but I'll keep it to myself. Also, every problem is a blessing in disguise.

I’ve never knew about John, I grew up listening to punk and then hardcore. I feel like I had a similar start to my life as him, except I lived in the sticks with similar circumstances. Eventually left when I was 15 went through the whirl winds drugs, stealing all that jazz, one morning after 3-4 months of daily mdma and lsd I ended up at a place called “crossways” still tripping balls I ate there, it was a Hare Krishna restaurant, a monk approached he could see I was outta my mind and eventually I got right into lived with Hare Krishnas in Bali, Java, thought south East Asian until I got to India. I feel everything he talks about the Hare Krishnas, I wanted to be the king of knowledge to rebuttal everything but it got to a point where I couldn’t. Since being with my partner for 5 years I drifted Away, it was Krishnas mercy that bought me here tonight, I had a bad night and my little brother was telling me on the phone you gotta check out this pod cast.... he was from some bad “ cro...cro mags” I was like aye I heard one of the members was Hare Krishna now here I am, back again in a 180. Jaya jaya hari bol!

I could listen to these 2 talk for hours more. Luv u guys, thank you for your work.

“Fan the spark, don’t throw water on it. I want to help. Look for the center of good in people and fan the spark man.” Important message.

I have either red or listened to all of John’s books. I went to hear him speak recently and got to meet him for a few seconds John is the real deal. His journey as been incredible. From Foster Homes, drugs, violence. He is such a strong individual. I know I would have folded under what he had to endure. God Bless John.

The first Cro-Mags record has been a staple in my life since I first heard it around '89', '90'. A close friend of mine has turned me on to Rich Roll and to see the connection to both of these people is great. Keep on John Joseph, I'm reading and listening. Come to think of it, it was that same friend who turned me on to the Cro-Mags back then.

What beautiful souls you two are. I only heard of Rich a few months ago, my mother gave me his audio book Finding Ultra and that changed my fucking life! And found John through Rich and now it's like one big happy family hahah. But seriously, you guys kick ass. Keep it up.

Just rewatched this as a late Christmas gift to myself. Two years and two days plant based. Definitely feel better mentally because of the compassion it developed. All the other positives still ring true but I’m most thankful for the compassion

One of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. Currently on my spiritual journey and learning so much. Thank you for being you John 🙏🏻

This is such an amazing chat between these two. I'm loving every minute of that. 🌱

Rich, awesome interview. Thanks for having John on. Amazing man !

You both are BIG!!! Great respect, guys... I'm speechless, but my heart and mind are full with joy. Thank you

I dont know why I keep gravitating towards vegan and karmic stuff...but I'm glad I watched this. What struck me is how positive this was. No matter what was discussed. Joe is that dude you need to meet who is just pure love and teaches you to love yourself and you come across once in your life and that's why he is so magnetic. You realize how precious he is because he is genuine. Love, love, loved this.

bro i've chanted mantras during near death experiences multiple times...ive made other people chant with my when i was slipping in and out of reality. that shit definitely kept me on this planet.

To respond to getting stolen from with "It's ok. It's spiritual food, you're suppose to steal it." That kind of kindness and lack of judgement would make me pay attention too.

Two of the best right here... Love the energy!

cool. i'm vegan already nine years, vegetarian before that 34 years total. i'm enjoying listenting to these podcasts. thank you for doing this.

I absolutely love JJ ! He is such a good soul....and badass vegan !cheers John ! Great podcast Rich,thank You !

What a great podcast! Thank you both 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

I just can’t get enough this guy is a true inspiration on how to be in life.

Inspiration Overload! Preordering John's book pronto... PMA ALL DAY!!! ♡♡♡

John Joseph is a true motivator. Seems to be a stand up dude that puts his money where his mouth is. He’s inspired me to make changes in my life. Trying to quit drinking and smoking. I kicked the drugs years ago and have have had several sober years in my life but I always slip back into drinking and eating unhealthy. John is a true inspiration. Every time I get down on myself or down on the world in general, I put on one of his interviews and tell myself to not be a puxxy. Great interview. Love the channel.

Pre-ordered instantly. Thank you gentlemen for being such positive influences in my life. ✌🏻🌱

Damn John looks good for 55. I would have never guessed his age.

(Sorry my english) One thing i hate about veganism is that is represented on this site mostly by all this beautiful people with perfect lives living in hawaii or some other first world problems...and i really can't relate to that shit, cuz i live in a expensive third world country..but this man right here, his history, the way he tells it, inspires me..and everytime im feeling low i came to youtube for his advice, this man is gonna change more pp than the white vegan pp of hawaii

I'm coming to LA for veg fest, I will be talking about why dairy is not Ahimsa. I'm Indian, and trying to educate and bring awareness to Indian vegetarians, who believe in Ahimsa, about dairy industry. I would love to come on your show. Please contact me. Thank you, love your show!

Awesome - just awesome, never wanted it to end

I love you guys! Thank you very much :) Greetings from Bulgaria!

Love John Joseph! And this was a great introduction to Rich Roll. I subscribed and liked the video. Thanks for doing this show. Hare Krishna

This man and the book is so amazing. I have had the PMA in my life. Please if you are having issues, read the book. It will make you think.

Always such a great combo!! Much love John and Rich!! Keep inspiring the people!!

i love this guy, so calm, real and on point

PEACE AND PLANTS! I love that! PMA effect.. great book!

I bow my head in respect für you both. LEGENDS, someone wrote, TRUE!

Love it. I'm new to the podcast but I'll be catching up and staying with it. John Joseph - big love to that man. Thanks to Rich. Xx

Looking forward to 30 to life. Where/ where can I see it? Netflix, You Tube ?

JJ and RR...two of the biggest inspirations to me. Thanks guys

It seems now that vegan is gaining some ground in social spectrum that many people who have been vegan/vegetarian for a loooong time are getting airtime and popping out of the woodwork because of people digging for knowledge about the subject. We are finding these people as living proof that not only can you survive but THRIVE on a plant based diet and also they tend to be very peace driven. It’s refreshing to see 👍

Rich, epic show. I have one suggestion for John Joseph that will undoubtedly save him a tremendous amount of writing, editing, and publishing time. Offer signed copies of hard bound, blank page notebooks, of which, you can add a forward. Next, John can book 2-3 hours on your show, and we all can tune it to fill the blank pages with notes from your VLOG. I truly hope that you have John back on the show to promote the release of his next book.

💯 percent Awesome! ! ✌💚 I believe that regardless of your own motivation, constructing a healthy lifestyle is much better than non..selflessness and service is a great example to imitate 🙏 that's what the world needs the most...

Love you John, always have always will! "Life so Hard so I'm gonna be Hard too" I see it with a whole new meaning now!

It will be a big challenge to top this podcast. Emotions running high right now. Two fucking amazing men.

Ahhhhhhh JJ is my absolute favorite. #dreamteam

Love John and what he does. He's changed my outlook on my life. PMA!

This was awesome. I want a John Joseph movie so bad.

Love this played this like 50 times!

You guys are legends! Thanks for the continuous inspiration. Cheers from Brazil! :D

Needed to watch this again today. Thank you. Awesome podcast :)

Love you guys! Some of the realest brothers out! Can’t wait to see 30 to life! It’s gonna be absolutely epic!

good to hear you two together

I would love to see John Joseph as a Yoga instructor. Downward Fuckin Dawg.

I like this podcast way more than the joe rogan one. John seems way more relaxed and open, like he vibes with Rich in a beautiful way.

So exited about this one Rich!!! It was great seeing you in person at the Running for good screening last week. It was a super amazing movie and you actually read my question first in the Q&A;) 🌱🌱

I miss this guy. I hope he can be on the your show again now that you have so many subs !

Thank you guys. That was really what I needed to hear tonight....all of it. Just thank you.

Should have John Joseph back on the podcast. One of my favorite guest. Been a while snice he has been on.

One of the best episodes ever made.

Great talk. Thank you so much!!

Love you guys...thank you

These guys are soooooo cooooool, awesome inspiration 😎👏👏👏☝️☝️☝️😎

Love your content rich! Thanks man

I worked for four years in the disposal unit of a central warehouse of a large discounter chain. I've thrown away so many dairy products, it's hard to see that veganism makes any difference at all. Cooling chain is interrupted and palettes of dairy products are disposed of. Got into Hardcore Punk when I was 16, still a vegetarian today. I'm 39 now. Straight Edge for 15 years. I have never bought a carton of milk or eggs. I eat chocolate and ice-cream. That's my two vices. Also I'm an endurance cyclist, climbing alpine mountain passes whenever I can.

That was great! Thanks John and Rich!

An inspiring chat!

Awesome podcast, you guys are super grounded, love this vegan buzz

For a guy as tough as John Joseph he has such an intelligent, evolved and aware personality. He certainly could have given Joe Rogan a hard time about the appalling hunting ethics he has but chose the high road. Good one John.

So uplifting and truely inspiring. Thank you.

Straight fire 🔥 this show. Thank you

27:50 #BOOM Nobody can sustain life without pleasure ...... Wonderful

The two greatest Vegans

Thank you ☮🥦

I saw all the smoke in the beginning and though I was watching the Joe Rogan Podcast. :p Great Interview!!!

SO here's this guy, plant based for over 30 years(?!) still doing Ironman and shit. So many others out there from different backgrounds who are plant based for many years or even since birth. For any doubters out there, saying you are starving, missing out or whatever on a plant based diet, maybe even vegans that are having health issues: if this isn't proof that it's not only possible, but you can thrive, I don't know what else is. John should give advice on what exactly he eats. From his Munchies video I gathered that it's a lot. Mainly whole foods of course. Does he give info on the topic in "Meat is for Pussies"?

Fucking love this guy god bless john he keeps me pushing!

Awesome video Rich! Thanks.

nobody has to box themselves , but it's important ( especially now ) to express VEGAN beliefs , by admitting to BEING A VEGAN in public - and in doing so you give others the courage to go vegan , despite the kickback they are going to face ! BRAVO ALL VEGANS !

Great Dudes 👍

Rad.....I'd follow these two anywhere.

Inspiring!

First thing...Forgive Yourself...then everything else. Fall in Love with yourself and everything else.

Loved it!

John Joseph. Fucking love you dude. You have screwed your head and heart tightly in place

Thank you

John Joseph , in case you're interested - the feast of Saint John Joseph Of The Cross , is March 5 ( he's a Franciscan Neapolitan Roman Catholic Saint )

My name is John Joseph

Goddamn legend

During this 40ene I started with changes...stop the smoke, stop weed..turn my mentality into a proactive attitude now is 2 months, and 5that I'm being vegan. I stop with waste my time with bad feelings, Whatsapp, Ps4, stupid discussion, smoke, sugar, alcohol... I need to be more and do more... I started to read, study English, and study for my business career... I go to fuck an agency with I collaborate as a freelance and spend my time on my personal project... I hope to do the difference one day..we are the only boundaries and the only enemy for ourselves. I do all of these changes without help, or a book or a video...everything start in our brain, you have to think about what you want and make the step...no excuse no temptation..is you in front of you. Peace!

LEGENDS!!!!!!

i like the music of the podcast, nice tune

Just bought 2 of john's books today.

This is an amazing friendship

badass dude!!!

JJ is a trip. Love that cat.

God Bless guyz ... This was awesome !
