AMA: Alex Pretti, Alex Honnold, Peter Attia, & Finding Hope In Dark Times
2/12/20261 hr 10 min
Roll On is here—and this one has teeth.
Adam and I unpack the tale of two Alexes—Honnold and Pretti—and what that juxtaposition reveals about the best and worst of human nature.
From there: a 9-month surgery milestone (30 lbs down, joy levels up), the Attia-Epstein fallout and the allure of proximity to power, and ICE's authoritarian overreach.
Listener questions round us out: finding hope, perfectionism, escaping burnout, and the sacred practice of showing up for someone else. Enjoy!

I've been around RJ, the CEO, and his kids, and it's so clear to me that this is his animating purpose. But he's not just thinking about them.
