This is Rich Roll’s story. Celebrity attorney turned strict vegan and founder of Ultra Endurance, one of the most extreme fitness challenges around, chose the second route.

The last interview we had with Niyi Sobo was one of the best ones we have done to date. He shared so many different insights on having the right mentality, the importance of self-discipline, and how to level up your life through constant self-evaluation.
Niyi Sobo, former running back for the New Orleans Saints and founder of I’m Not You, practices the mindset of failing forward. Learned from his own father, Niyi Sobo teaches his own children that mistakes in life are necessary and are actually good.
Confidence is something we talk about a lot here on the Good Dad Project! Being a man with confidence, grit, determination, and emotional resiliency is critical to success.
We can’t out run stress. It’s simply a fact of our daily lives. The idea that we “eliminate” stress from our life sounds great, but that means cutting out the parts that are most meaningful. Think about it: the parts of our lives that make us who we really are come from areas that bring stress: our work, our kids, our significant others. These aren’t “bad” stressors, but they are part of our lives. It’s not a matter of cutting these areas out, but a matter of how we handle them.
Think about it for a minute, how do you feel when you don’t get optimal sleep? How do you feel the next day? What is your productivity like? What is your mood like? Do your relationships suffer because you feel like total crap? Does your professional life take a beating because you feel exhausted? Are you keeping Red Bull, Monster, and Starbucks in business to keep your energy up?
If you are answering “YES” to any of the above questions, chances are you are not giving your body and mind the optimal sleep it needs to be your best.
