Lance, you gave me hope when I had cancer in 1998. I watched you in Ironkids and followed your career closely. You are living your amends.

I love cycling. At 73 years of age I still ride at least 50 miles a day. When it’s crumby outside? I get the miles in indoors. You were and are my cycling hero. 🚴🏻🚴🏻🚴🏻💪💪💪

One of the better interviews of Lance in recent years.

Lance you are trully the GOAT of life!

Thank you Joe… so enlightening!

Lance's interviews are always great interviews, his POV on any matter of life is always interesting, but above all, honest!

Nice work Joe... Lance is great interview. Interesting dude. Seen him from all sides... pubic, personal... when you get him out of the spotlight, he's got the energy and curiosity of a kid... it's fun. Great conversation... which beats an interview every day.

Lance was great in the Tour. The best Tours to watch.

Dan sullivan is the founder of strategic coach

Joe, you came across as intelligent, nuanced, articulate, and compassionate, while still asking the tough questions. You are the only interviewer that I have listened to who has ever concisely asked Lance the million dollar question, "Is there anyone that you have wanted to say you're sorry to in your life that you've not made amends to or not done that because it's just too complicated to do?" (I hope I quoted you accurately). I believe this question is critical in terms of what we know about how people move through trauma into healing as both perpetrators and victims. The Restorative Justice model speaks to the phenomenon whereby the victim informs the perpetrator what impact his/her actions had on them. Further, the victim tells the perpetrator what actions the perpetrator could take to help the victim move through the trauma and come closer to the goal of lessening or resolving the trauma. It often takes the form of the victim asking the perpetrator for acknowledgement of the pain that was caused, a request for a genuine, sincere apology, and finally, the show of a concerted effort to make reparations to the victim. The perpetrator then has the opportunity to listen, acknowledge the harm done, admit fault, and, as a final step, apologize, and to the best of his/her ability make amends as best he/she can. This affords the victim a greater chance of recovery and affords the perpetrator an opportunity to shed the burden of guilt and shame, break the cycle of abuse, and be welcomed back into the tribe. As opposed to our typical model of law and order, where the machinery of punishment takes over, the victim often loses their voice and is forgotten, and the perpetrator is jailed or put to death, this model is far more humane and offers both parties a chance to return to a state of wholeness and balance. (Just an aside, this model is not recommended for victims of domestic abuse and in certain other situations. It's easy enough to research). It is the only model I know of where both parties have a real chance at transforming trauma into real, lasting healing. Lance has not taken this opportunity. He acknowledges the doping, he admitted fault, he concedes that he was abusive and hurt others, but he has never apologized or taken steps to repair the damage done to others. I don't think the majority of people care anymore about the doping or that he, in his own words, "acted like a dick." What I think the majority of people who continue to fault Lance would like to see is for him to engage in a genuine restorative justice process. The benefits of this are tremendous. In final analysis, this process is good for society. When perpetrators/offenders engage authentically in this process and are welcomed back into the tribe, they are far less likely to go on offending/abusing. The torn fabric has a chance to mend. Lance has changed in some ways, but not in others. He was ruthless and cruel towards others. He set out and often succeeded in destroying people's reputations and livelihoods. I am saddened that he continues to sidestep the incredible opportunity that you and certain others have offered him. If he were to turn to the camera and genuinely say the simple words, "I am deeply sorry for how I treated others. I ask for forgiveness and invite those of you who I hurt deeply to reach out to me and engage in dialogue, I will do my best to make amends to you to the best of my ability," I think we would see an overwhelming consensus that this man has truly redeemed himself and is worthy of forgiveness. Instead, he continues to deflect. I feel badly for him. He has truly suffered. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is true. But, so have the people whose lives he impacted so negatively. I am saddened for the situation, because I don't think he possesses the psychological make-up to walk through the door that you so eloquently and kindly opened for him.

I always felt that the UCI and french cycling organisations made a point in the pursuit of Lance, as a young man I loved the battles and races of his career Still look up to this guy.

Thank you, A very much. Enjoyed that clean and sober 38 years. I hear you guys all amazing. We are blessed in our weird way. We have recovered from the seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. I’ve learned that most people recover their self at the speed of pain. Now we get an even better high by working with others and making a difference leading these young kids and all kinds of people to a power greater than themselves that can solve all their problems much appreciate you guys appreciate y’all

Glad to see Lance acknowledge and own up to his past mistakes.

Another great interview!

great interview

What is the title of Joe’s new book?

Lance made an excellent point about guns and you can 100% be a constitutionalist and fully agree with what Lance said on guns, in fact, I think that is the one that upholds the Constitution.

Who is the Dan Sullivan Joe referred to?

Great author

The war on drugs!? That was a surprise :D

Lance, I am your mom's age!!

He is obviously a great champion. Strangely others have tried the blood process him and his team used without any positive or negative results as to their performance. Him and his team would be champions with or without blood doping.

I really loved Lance but lost respect when he lied under oath, I respect the man, because the work still needs to be done. I truly believe a person on enhancements has to work twice as hard, but honesty goes a long way. I enjoy seeing his honesty now, but he’s a smart man.

Lance's 100K = 1/37 of the company at 3.7M .... Uber's current market cap - 144B - Means Lance is worth 3.89B, just from that one investment. ... but I think that probably isn't the case, is it? Idk. .... ok, I checked, Aria says he is worth 50M today. Pretty big discrepancy. Even in 2020 it was worth around half, which is still 2B. Even when it was worth only 3.7B his 100K would be worth 100M, twice what he is worth today..... What's up? Tax dodging? Just a question, I don't want to accuse him of anything. He invited us to do the math, and figure out how much he made. I did it for fun, and ended up confused, sorry, Lance. Peace

OK. All the riders cheated. We get it. So, when those who cheated got caught (Lance), what did they (Lance) do? Well, Lance attacked the good people. He went after the innocent ones. He smeared them and threatened them. He did a tremendous amount of harm to great people, all because he refused to accept the punishment due for being caught at cheating. When he needed to become honest, he kept on cheating. Has he made amends to everyone he attacked after he was exposed as a cheat and a fraud? I haven't heard that he has. Until all those people are happy, Lance is just a steaming pile of sh!t in my book. (and, yes, I understand that severely traumatized people tend to become hyper competitive, that they see life as a competition in which anyone who stands in the way of your goals is an enemy that must be destroyed... but I'm intelligent and sophisticated, so I realize how primitive and destructive that sort of thinking is. Unfortunately, Lance was allowed, and encouraged, to remain damaged, and, as a result, he multiplied that damage as he attempted to advance himself, selfishly. Sadly, many emotional, similarly-damaged individuals in power assisted him.)

He stinks.

Revisionist History plain and simple

Life is a game....but Lance forgot the second part.... AND HERE ARE THE RULES. Certainly he accomplished a lot but denying drug use and media and cycling turning a blind eye because ' it was good for the sport'. Come on man

yup ....Lance is on the circuit again trying to control the narrative in an American audience who largely clueless about cycling. Its pretty sad to see so many folks buy into his narrative. IN a doping peloton, it is never an even field....doping means that the teams with the most money and power tend to win since resources is the most important variable in executing an effective regime over a Tour or a season vs. a day race. I believe he is a sociopath who caused real damage. BUt the real story is the corruption of institutions by money and power.

He's a horrible person. He destroyed so many people's lives

We will judge him if we want to. Shut up and go play golf. Lance is still a twa#. Should not be hard to figure out who your friends are. You lied to every people alive. For years. Anyone who did not get with your bull shyt program. Your ruined. Their career and their life. And now you talk about how much you enjoy being Lance. Hmmm….let the world beware.
