Cryptocurrency. Blockchain. Digital trading cards. Burnt Bansky & NFTs. And of course, flying cats with pop tart bodies.

These are just a few of many internet developments dissected in today’s edition of ‘Roll On’, wherein Adam Skolnick and I usher you into the digital age with droll repartee, raillery, and shrewd observations on concepts, issues, and matters relevant and whimsical. We share good news and bad. We perform a bit of show and tell. We banter and blather. And as always, we answer your questions.

Aside from serving as my cogitative, neighborly, and magnanimous sidecar hype-beast, Adam Skolnick is an activist and veteran journalist best known as David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me, co-author. Adam writes about adventure sports, environmental issues, and civil rights for outlets such as The New York Times, Outside, ESPN, BBC, and Men’s Health. He is the author of One Breath and is currently using the ‘new dad’ excuse to avoid working on his novel.

Other topics we explore in today’s conversation include:

Adam and Jason’s 4 x 4 x 48 Goggins’ challenge recap;
an update on the Iron Cowboy’s ‘Conquer 100’ challenge;
Rich’s new cold plunge routine;
NFTs and the way the internet is upending finance;
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the future of digital assets; and
the nuanced ways in which human beings are becoming human avatars.

In addition, we answer the following listener questions:

How do you stay motivated in your fitness journey?
How can you be a lighthouse of conscious living for your children?
What are the best ways to prepare for high-altitude endurance races?
