Alpha males do not really exist. The animal researcher who actually coined the term regretted it. Because he realized Wolves were collaborative across genders then aggressive. Leaders are actually helpers and community men like Harvey

Harvey's immense positivity and warmth are hard to beat! I know folks here in Cincy that have met him and they say in person, he does not disappoint, he is the real thing, genuine and such a fine example of how much joy we can find if we are not afraid.

Such an inspiring interview. Harvey is my hero! Everything Kelly shared about Harvey is true! I met him at Leadville and he was the nicest, most humble, kind man. He really talked to me and asked me questions while I was sharing my admiration towards him. He is the ultimate athlete, doing amazing physical feats, humble, knowledgeable, and willing to share his craft with others. He is the such a great role model in the vegan world. Love him!!

I like that they have had a successful, happy relationship for over 10 years, despite only seeing each other on weekends... While that wouldn't work for everyone, for some people it is perfect. Different strokes for different folks.

Great interview! Harvey Lewis is a great inspiring athlete, with incredible charisma. As a vegan food enthusiast myself, I mirror him. I've already invited him to come participate in the FLORIPA ULTRA TRAIL RUN, which I organize, in some years I hope he comes over. Big hug!😊

I love that Rich unintentionally stepped into the Couple's Counselor role towards the end of this episode. Harvey and Kelly are really great partners for each other, and I feel like Rich really shed light on the the specific nuances of the how and why they have such deep appreciation for each other. Ultimately Rich bringing the both of them towards the end watching them talk about each other really brought out the best in both of them 💚

This is super interesting. I had been dealing with some significant soreness and pain from my running and finally decided to quit and rest for a couple of weeks, but recovery was very slow. However in that time I was on a short vacation where I did A LOT of walking and it seemed like my recovery had accelerated quite a bit.

I listen to RR podcast frequently, so I know you’re always hitting on the importance of getting a full night of good quality sleep. Also, you’ve had guests who speak of how exercise contributes to health and longevity. So I’m wondering, with these ultra-endurance events, where runners go for days without sleeping, does the exercise cancel out the ill-effects of days of missed sleep? Maybe you touch on this in this episode (I’ve not gotten all the way thru it yet). Thanks for featuring a vegan badass runner!

@karlastarkenberg404 3 ай бұрын

Also, according to google, the name Harvey means “battle worthy” or “strong in battle”

@freeian2 3 ай бұрын

Think it’s a Yin-Yang effect. The harmony of Harvey. Listening while running imaging what a Garmin watch is telling him in terms of training status. He’s built such a mental/physical resume. The backstory of 25’ sleep-60 second “naps-“the prospect of 600 miles…how he viewed insights from earlier career (130 miles as status)-the question will deprivation pass him one day. He’s 20 years younger than his opponent who was summarized by Laz as seemingly more fit but in the context of background, there’s where the battle was won.

If people start adjusting to microsleeping like Harvey and then refining it, at some point in a few years we could have Backyard Ultras with more than a week before a winner

I can only watch this in small doses as I just can't handle the interruptions. I think I figured out the Rich Roll formula. Ask a questions. Once they start answering immediately you interrupt them and then just rinse and repeat. At 1:05:00 (that range) is unbearable.

@1jeds 3 ай бұрын

I completely agree. Not only the interruptions but increasing the volume while talking over the other person. It is irritating, but I loved listening to Harvey/Kelly!

From $6-10k for a cold plunge, I’ll stick to the bathtub. And it’s no surprise the one for $6k is their “best seller” lmao what the hell! Not even going to look at their sauna prices

Just kidding. Looked at their saunas from 12-13k. And their sauna photos they have a guy some sort of kettlebell exercise in the sauna. Out of control

It's a little odd to advertise a sauna without the person in it looking sweaty. Rich, that would a much more effective promotion if sweat was pouring off you.
