Who is rich roll for you

Rich Roll is an inspiration.  

On a superficial look, he appears to be a "youtube" personality.  But when you go deep, learn about his life experience and back story, and pay attention to how he handles/communicates certain issues, he has so much to offer. 

In a nut shell, he was an Ivy League swimmer in his youth and became a lawyer for 15-20 years.  He initially became a functional alcoholic, but slowly progressed into being a nonfunctional alcoholic, which led to the dismantling of his life.  After years of misery and instability, he asked for help.  Following his sobriety, he started training again and performed many incredible feats.  An example of which is he performed 5 iron mans in a week.  Part of his transformation into a sobriety and reinvigoration of his health (through sport) was that he took on a whole-food plant-based diet; he give a large amount of credit to this diet change for his ability to perform these sporting feats at his age (40's).  

He has a podcast (the Rich Roll Podcast) where he brings on a variety of inspirational sporting and spiritual-focused individuals. I would recommend any of the podcasts with guru Singh as a starting point.

Why is he an inspiration to me?  Although I did not have alcohol-dependency issues, I was struggling with my health.  Through his podcast he inspired me to take back my health, through a plant-based diet and sport.  60 lbs later, I am healthier than I have been for the past decade. 

I am very fortunate to have come across Rich Roll's content online.  

His drive in life, his ability to communicate with compassion, his focus on health and spirituality, and his humility are all characteristics I find inspiring.

Professor Peter C. Gøtzsche. I recommend everyone who has a life purpose to study his work. Especially if you are interested in human rights and equality.

Nikola Tesla, Sadhguru, Vernon Howard,  Alan Watts,  Leo... 

[saffron]

@John Iverson Iron Man, Batman, Brainiac, Damian Wayne and Jason Todd. I'm more internally motivated and see greatness in myself, rather than getting inspired by others.

for got to add the last part.

[Pharion]

The Dark Knight, Jordan Peterson, Stephan Molyeneux. Steve Jobs, Alex Honnold, and ofc Leo (I mean how can you not be inspired by his vegatable soup am I right?) i'm sure theres more who i'm not thinking of RN. 

[rNOW]

I think who inspires me depends a lot on where I am on my journey. There are qualities I wish I had, but I don't, and when I see them in others, I feel in-spired (in-spirited?)

As of now, there are many of them, in different industries and are doing many different things. There's quite a long list, so instead of naming them, I'll list the qualities they embody:

1.  Those who USE their life to improve other people's lives whilst completely enjoying it. 
2.  Those who seek to know themselves so they can do 1.
3.  Those who learn and teach what they learn so they and others can do 1. 
4.  Those who USE their experiences (even painful ones) to grow so they can do 1.
5.  Those who inspire others not to become like them, but to be their own inspiration to do 1,2, 3 and 4.

P.S: I also wish to thank you for posting this question, cause while typing out this response, I realized what the word 'selfless' actually meant. I had got it wrong all my life.

Exactly, in the most profound way. At a superficial level, anyone else.

Aww thanks! After all this kind of post is for you

[John Iverson]

Wait , people here and people will read this post... if you will put people here that inspires you ...answer it by this, 

come to think of it that if someone doesn't know who is he/sha should look up to, he doesn't know a person , didn't know about that specific person, so answer it as if that if someone read your answer it has so much information to that person that makes him absorb by it and he / she will say wowwww! This is interesting to embody and i want this field to advance by me or create new in here... did you get it? Or wowww! Let me go dig deeper in this person and in this specific thing...

Warren Buffet. The amount of time he waited to start making money is admirable. 

His patience and wisdom are inspiring.
