  I&apos;ve written and deleted a bunch of attempts here to try and get across how meaningful you both have been to me, but it really just boils down to THANK YOU. Rivs and Rich, you&apos;ve made some real impacts on me individually - and now together - &nbsp;and I just want to extend my sincere appreciation - thank you!!

  This has been the most moving interview I have EVER watched. Tommy Rivs helped me fall in love with running again day by day on my treadmill, running with him in some of the worlds most beautiful places. You can tell just by his coaching that he’s a beautiful soul. I had no idea about his journey and I’m an emotional wreck. Tommy you ARE LOVED! You ARE AMAZING! I wish nothing but beauty and peace for you, your family, and your life. You are a very special human. &nbsp;And thank you Rich. As always, you’ve provided me with a completely moving experience and inspired growth in my thoughts and mindset. ♥️

  The &quot;urgency of now&quot;/&quot;happiness is to see it as its happening&quot; &nbsp; Buddhism, Stoicism, Tolle, etc.... its universal. Ive been listening to RR for over 6 yrs almost every episode, I loved this one, made me emotional and I have so much gratitude and love for Tommy. Hope he stays well

  Beautiful🙌 I rarely ever comment but I wanted to express how much this conversation touched me. &nbsp;It’s hard to find the words to express just how impactful it was. &nbsp;I admire Tommy’s light and exuberance for life and will take with me so many ideas for how I want to live each day and parent in the future. &nbsp;Thank you Rich for the gift of yet another deeply moving interview!😊
