Crusading Against The Mundane: Chris Burkard | Rich Roll Podcast

To read more about Chris & peruse the full show notes 👉🏼 bit.ly/richroll554
Chris Burkard is many things -- a photographer, artist, adventurer, world traveler, filmmaker, accomplished endurance athlete, dirtbag surfer extraordinaire, a father and a man of faith. But more than anything, he's a storyteller -- best known for his photojournalistic, humanizing approach to the farthest expanses of the Earth and capturing stories that inspire humans to consider our relationship with nature, while promoting the preservation of wild places everywhere.
This exchange is a glimpse into the creative mind of a true artist, laced with potent life lessons that will leave you thinking more broadly about your own path. My hope is that it will strengthen your reverence for the outdoors - and inspire your own impulse for adventure.
Enjoy!

    I’m on my 6th career in life at 49 years old. Wall Street, then sales at 2 technology startups. Then became a renowned leather craftsman, etc etc. Starting my next career with a small video camera. The Covid turned a growing business into absolute zero. Just taking this time to learn new video tricks & ideas. ALWAYS BE CURIOUS. WITH A GROWTH MINDSET.

    I love all of these stories because we're all constantly growing and evolving wherever we are. As much as we love to attach age to these discussions, it really isn't relevant. I'm 31 and trying to change the way I think in order to make more mindful and productive decisions--reading things like this gives me an extra boost in knowing that I am not alone. Good luck to everyone on their respective journeys!

    For having being one of Chris big fan for many years now, this pod interview has open a much deeper level of understanding of his profound humanity, and his sensibilities, absolutely magnificent and broad understanding of the planet we call home. What a gem of a visual episode. Thank you both for this.

    1:17:00 YES!!!! As a long distance bikepacker, this is exactly it! This is that feeling you get on the bike! I have done so many other sports, and even hiking the Appalachian Trail doesn’t come close. Long distance bike riding is the most meditative beautiful experience and you become your own best friend. It’s just so expansive and peaceful. I fully agree with what he’s talking about and now I feel inspired to do a bike ride! Thank you for this convo!

    1hr: There's a lot to be said for not satiating your amygdala. If you tease it with material wealth, it's like manipulating yourself, perhaps only person we should manipulate. If you pander to it's drive, you become decadent outside of spirituality surrounding something approaching Shiva's, Virūḍhaka's and Hecate's archetype. You can only be royal if you truly are, not appointed by God, but by genetic, introverted and extroverted expression. Desire is the source of all love, like chaos is of peace, ignorance is of truth and limitations are of liberty. I'm fairly intuitive/intellectual/geeky, I guess and people see in me that my amygdala lights up, but, it's not something naturally from myself. People drape ego on us from own lack of understand of the mind. Sometimes, if we're feeling weak, we will become indoctrinated to other and it can change our genetic code by virtue of how information is conserved... matter has taken hold your mind. Always be careful be careful around unintelligent and unwise people, especially if they're fascistic, damaged goods. Fascism is born by absorbing other people's defensive strategies of how to deal with their toxicity turned into vain attempts at justifying their evil. Alan Watts once asked, in regards to how the old masters did it and he said, "Well, a load of nothing of course." Magic cannot be emulated; it is the cutting of consciousness and the universe itself.

    Rich Roll was cool until he became another privileged white guy talking to and about other, privileged, white guys.. He reminds me of Drake -- "started from the bottom, now I'm here," yet it's laughable how "hard" his journey has really been. I always appreciate perspective but the struggle isn't -- nor wasn't -- there. Rich Roll's book is indeed interesting, but again, the struggle he describes is of privilege -- not effort.
