As the last episode ended, I had given a quick overview of my grandfather, who was a lifelong Orthodox Jew, but was also a mystic with his own set of metaphysical understandings, especially about what was happening in modern times. Among his teachings, he used to tell us was that there are always highly evolved people living on Earth, who are here to help bring about the Divine Plan for the evolution of humanity. In the ancient tradition, such a person was called a Kal-El, which means “vessel of God.” As a brief note about that term - when I first started reading Superman comics at about age eight, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Superman's real name on his home planet of Krypton was Kal-El. I never gave it much thought and figured it must have been some kind of coincidence until several years later, when I learned that Superman had been created by two Jewish guys, Jerry Seigle and Joe Shuster. I guess they thought of him as a vessel of God doing good, so naming him Kal-El was no coincidence. Also, when it comes to comic books, surprisingly, my first introduction to the idea that human beings could evolve into a higher level of consciousness came from reading about it in a comic book. I was around twelve and I still remember the moment when the concept first hit me. After years of being devoted to Superman and Batman, I had gotten introduced to a new company called Marvel Comics and its highly innovative, new characters began to expand the horizons of my imagination. It still featured action stories, but they dropped in some extra tidbits. Like in one episode of the Fantastic Four, there was an alien named “The Watcher,” from an advanced race of beings, who had become friends with Reed Richards, the leader of the Fantastic Four. One day, Richards wanders into The Watcher's laboratory when he isn't there and picks up a baton-like device. Suddenly he's rooted to the ground, can't move and his head begins to morph into a much larger size. The Watcher suddenly bursts in, grabs the baton out of Richards's hands and brings him back to normal. Once Richards is fully restored, The Watcher explains that the device he was holding was a “consciousness enhancer.” In those few seconds, it had moved him forward a thousand years and he had actually become a highly evolved human being of the far distant future. As a fellow scientist, he asks Richards what the experience had been like. Richards says he couldn't retain the details, but he could remember that he had become fully merged with the creative power of the cosmos and the inherent joy of being in that heightened state of awareness was indescribable. The only thing I can say about being exposed to that idea is that it completely blew my mind. It was several years before that expression became popular, but that cosmic comic book really did it to me. If it was possible for human consciousness to evolve to a significantly higher level, as an extrapolation, I began to wonder if it were possible for me to do it. And could I do it in this lifetime? A certain ideal seemed to take root deep inside my mind, almost like a trophy had been placed on some distant shelf in time to remind me to take up the quest to approach this noble goal at some later point in my life. Anyway, let's get back to my grandfather and his belief that the modern technologies, including television, were being used by God to expand human awareness and that there are always Kal-El's or vessels of God on earth, helping to further his work. Remember that Zayde, my grandfather, was the absolute spiritual head of our extended family and one day, to my sheer delight, he decided that the TV character, the Lone Ranger, was in reality, a Kal-El. This basically changed the workings of our family because now, whenever the Lone Ranger was on TV, my grandfather had to stop everything and sit and watch the entire episode. Whatever was happening around him, lunch or dinner, party or celebration – it didn't matter. He had to stop and watch the show. Now, this was a terrific development for me because the Lone Ranger was my favorite TV program, and if it had something to do with God, it was all the better. Because in my book, watching the show was a million times better than sitting in Hebrew school for an hour and a half. Zayde would watch each episode with total focus, and after it ended, he would give a short teaching on the moral of the story. Here's one shining example that is still enshrined in my memory. An hourlong origin special about how it all began was being shown, and we watched it together. As it started, the Texas Rangers were ambushed and left for dead by the bad guys. Tonto, the Ranger's future Indian companion, comes upon the scene, realizes that one of the Rangers is still alive, and nurses him back to health. Since he's the sole survivor, Tonto calls him the Lone Ranger. A few weeks later, they find a big white stallion lying near a bush bleeding to death, apparently gored by a bull. The Ranger and Tonto spend weeks caring for it. Once it fully recovers, they tie a rope around its neck and lead it into an open pasture. “Your horse was killed, and now Great Spirit has given you a new horse,” Tonto says, appreciating the synchronistic workings of the universe. “He's not my horse yet, Tonto,” the Ranger replies. As they stand in the field, the horse feels its strength returning, and with its nose twitching, senses the call of the wild. The Ranger pats it on the head and slowly removes the rope. Then suddenly, he gives it a sharp slap on the rear. The horse bolts forward and breaks into a mighty gallop, charging full speed to the top of a hill. It rears back on its hind legs, neighing in triumph, standing tall against the sky. But when it comes back down on all four legs, a change comes over it. It tilts its head to one side, and then, as though sensing a call beyond the wild, it trots back over to the Lone Ranger and just stands there next to him. “There, there, Big Fella,” the Ranger murmurs to him, gently stroking its muzzle. Then he turns to Tonto, and in a clam voice, filled with absolute certainty says, “Now he's my horse.” The show went to commercial and Zayde turned to me, his face glowing like he had been staring at a burning bush. “You see?” he asked me. “It's all about free will. God will never force you. He's just waiting for you to choose to be with him. You can do it whenever you want, but it's really up to you. God's in no rush. He has all the time in the world. And more.” Then, as always, he quoted some Hebrew or Yiddish phrase that I didn't understand. “You know what that means?” he asked me. I never did. “It's simple. ‘In the dark, you're blind. But in the light, you can see. So, stand in the light and open your eyes.'” Then he touched the middle of my forehead with his index finger. “There's a lightbulb in there. But it's up to you to screw it in and turn it on. Understand, Davy?” So, that's a brief introduction to this deeply esoteric man. Now let me tell you what happened when I told him about the incident with my dream and the disappearance of the ring. As you may recall from the last episode, I had experienced a vivid dream with my father. At the end of it, I gave him back his ring and it dissolved into white light. Then, the following morning, after my first period gym class, I was shocked to find that the ring had mysteriously disappeared out of my wallet, which I had securely locked in my locker. A few days later, during my regular weekly visit to him, I told my grandfather what had happened and he was completely transfixed. Every detail seemed to tell him something special. The fact that it took place in the lobby of the synagogue, the fact my father seemed younger and had a healthy-looking tan, the fact that he chuckled when I told him that he died and said that it wasn't real, that it was just a trick…all these things amazed and delighted him. Then, when I got to the part where the ring had dissolved into a white light which filled the room and that I felt a happy presence in the light, he got quite still and didn't move for a few moments. I didn't quite know what to make of it, so I went right into telling him how the ring disappeared out of my locker the next morning. After I finished, he seemed deeply moved. “So, understand, Davy, that you were shown a lot here, especially at such a young age,” he said. “All that you need to grasp at this point is that this life is much more than it seems to be. Try to keep that idea in the back of your mind as you grow, because take it from me, it will always be true. Now matter how much you know, there will always more to learn. That's just the way it works. As a path to infinity, it's an infinite path, and it's always more wonderful than you can ever understand, especially at your age. So, just keep opening up to it.” He broke into a warm smile and said, “It gives you a lot to think about and there are a lot of maybes here for you to consider. The ring turned into light in the dream, then it disappeared the next day in real life. Maybe that means there's a deep connection between the two realms,” he said. “Much more than most people know.” “Also, Dad said there's no death, that its just a trick God does to get people to think about him. So maybe you should give this whole thing a lot more thought. I'm sure that you will, over the years.” “And you said that you both stood there, holding the ring and it felt like a bridge between you,” he continued. “Maybe he's telling you that the bridge is real, that it's still there and that you're still connected, even beyond death. Maybe you'll always be.” “And you know what else? The ring turned into light and you felt yourself get pulled into it. What was that like?” he asked me. “It was incredible,” I said. “It had a presence that was filled with comfort and joy and I don't think I've ever been that happy.” “Exactly,” he agreed. “Maybe, that light took you into Shamayim (heaven). And maybe he wants you to remember that feeling. Remember what that taste of heaven felt like. Don't forget, the reason we came here in the first place is to find our way back home, so maybe you should enshrine that feeling in your heart. and maybe it can help you get there somehow.” “Now look, this whole thing is just like a lot of other things you run into in life. Maybe some of it was real. Maybe none of it was real. Or maybe all of it was real. Who knows? I do know one thing, though - you have the rest of your life to figure it out. And that probably won't be long enough!” His eyes were twinkling, and he gave me one of his glowing, impish smiles. He did this kind of thing all the time. He'd use the word “maybe” in the tradition of the great Talmudic teachers he'd studied for years. They don't tell you things. They just plant seeds and inspire you to help them grow. So, that's the end of what he had to say about my seemingly metaphysical experience with the dream and the ring. But there is one other quick story I'd like to add, which took place about twenty years later. One Saturday night, I was at a big party and out of nowhere, an old friend who I hadn't seen in quite some time came over to me. He said that he'd had a strange dream recently and he needed to tell me about it. In the dream, he was in a crowd of people and a platform rose up with a stranger standing on it. The stranger looked at my friend and said, “I am David Richman's father and I want you to give him a message for me.” Then he lifted up his hand and my friend could see he was wearing a ring. Suddenly, the ring started glowing with light and the man said, “Tell David that I said to remember the ring.” Then he repeated himself. “Give David Richman this message. Tell him I said to remember the ring.” My friend finished and looked at me quizzically for a moment. “I don't know if that means anything to you, but I just felt I had to tell you.” You can imagine what an intriguing shock that experience was for me! Well, there's nothing more to add to this part of the story, so let's let this be the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind, and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

David Richman was once an overweight, sedentary smoker who was jolted into making big changes in his life. Now an entrepreneur, athlete, public speaker, and author, David joins us to discuss his latest book, “Cycle of Lives,” which chronicles the stories of 15 people, five-thousand miles, and the journey through the emotional upheaval of cancer that David and his family endured after his sister was diagnosed with brain cancer, which ultimately claimed her life. “Cycle of Lives” was created as the result of many years of dedication to raising awareness and funds for cancer research and care, inspired after his sister was initially diagnosed in 2007. Over the past 15 years, David has completed several events including a 104-mile run along the Pacific Coast Highway, 87-miles from Cancun to Tulum, numerous bike rides and other events to raise money for the American Cancer Society and Moffitt Cancer Society. David is also donating profits from his book sales to the cancer organizations he supports. The book talks about the emotional ride of dealing with loved ones with cancer, and we will talk about the bravery his sister displayed throughout her battle with this disease.

I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's an honor to have you here with us. @davidrichman_cycleoflives #cycleoflives #Stories #CancerStories #cancersurvivors @UBNGO
David Richman was overweight, a smoker, married to an abusive alcoholic, and stressed out unbelievably. At his lowest point, he heard the words from a friend that he needed to hear. These words allowed him to start a journey of discovery, transformation, and self-belief. Today he helps empower people to start hard conversations around the emotional aspects of trauma, and to help them transform into their best selves. David is an author, public speaker, and endurance athlete whose mission is to form more meaningful human connections through storytelling. By the time he was in his late thirties, David was a sedentary, overweight smoker who was stuck in an abusive and unhealthy marriage. It was clear that if he was going to enjoy any kind of life satisfaction, he had to stop focusing on what others wanted out of him, and zero in on what he wanted for himself. He began to set measurable, attainable, and meaningful goals—to become healthy, to raise his young twins in a safe home environment, to become a top performer at work, and to seek out his own physical, mental, and emotional limits. Through lessons learned in business, sports, and life, David introduces the concept of “winning in the middle of the pack” and discusses how we all can get more out of ourselves than we ever imagined. His most recent adventure was a 5,000-mile solo bike ride across the country in which he visited most of the participants for his upcoming book chronicling fifteen remarkable and unique emotional journeys of people with cancer. David is a businessman, corporate and motivational speaker, personal consultant, and author of CYCLE OF LIVES and WINNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK. Amazon bestseller in "Brain Cancer" Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you? No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from LA to Florida to NY, I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancer - either as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers. Hearing their moving stories, which were influenced by many different forms of past and present trauma, transformed my cycling odyssey into a journey of emotional self-discovery as I relived the chaos and emotional upheaval of cancer through them: from the man who found true love after losing his soulmate to cancer, to the elite athlete who had to reckon with his all-star body finally letting him down, to the medical oncologist who cares as much about her patients as she cares for them. Whether you or someone you care about is going through cancer or some other major trauma, I hope this thought-provoking collection of astonishing stories can help you, too.

The first podcast of 2024 is here, with plenty of news to discuss. North Dakota State's men's basketball team opened the new year with a loss to Montana in the Big Sky - Summit League Challenge 96-86. The Bison played without their leading scorer and lone senior, Boden Skunberg, who was benched by head coach David Richman for not meeting the team's culture expectations. The Bison have lost four straight games and sit at 7-8 as they head to face Eastern Washington in the back end of the Challenge in Cheney. Richman said there's a possibility that Skunberg could return at some point this season. Also, the NDSU football team picked up a couple of wins over the last week with the news that Cole Wisniewski and Grey Zabel will return for the 2024 season. Each announced late last week that they will be back, turning down sizable NIL offers to transfer. Jeff Kolpack and Dom Izzo discuss the news in hoops and football and where things go with both teams as the new year is here.

After surviving a challenging childhood, David Richman achieved success as an executive at a Wall Street firm. His personal life, though, was a mess. He was a stressed out, overweight smoker with low self-esteem who spent most of his life trying to please others. While he learned many lessons in his professional life, he never thought to apply them to his personal life. Looking back, he says it's amazing how much he accomplished in relation to how little awareness he had of himself. When that awareness of himself kicked in David says he was enthralled with the idea that he could actually matter. “Until you believe that you matter, you don't. And, I just didn't know that I mattered.”Guest BioDavid is an author, public speaker, and endurance athlete whose mission is to form more meaningful human connections through storytelling.

David's story is a testament to the power of self-reflection and the will to change. His “forty story” is filled with lessons about self-worth, resilience, and the importance of taking care of yourself.Here are some of the key highlights from our conversation:David's early life was marked by challenges and obstacles, some self-imposed and others a result of his upbringing. Despite these difficulties, he managed to become an executive at a major Wall Street firm by his early thirties. However, his personal life was a stark contrast to his professional success. He was overweight, a smoker, and in an abusive relationship.A conversation with a friend served as a wake-up call for David. His friend pointed out that David was the problem in his life, not the people or circumstances around him. This prompted David to take a hard, honest look at himself and his choices.David began to question his decisions and his lifestyle. He realized that he had been living his life trying to please others rather than focusing on his own happiness and well-being.David's journey to self-improvement began with a commitment to quit smoking and lose weight. He decided to become an athlete, a goal that seemed far-fetched at the time but would later become a reality.David started his journey towards becoming an athlete by buying a pair of running shoes and gradually increasing his running distance. He later participated in half and full Ironman races, 50-mile runs, 100-mile runs, and a 5,000-mile solo bike ride.Realizing that no one else is watching or judging him was both freeing and empowering.David's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your life.

My guest is David Richman, an author, motivational speaker, trainer, and consultant. Actually, David refers to himself as a transformation expert. He shares the many tremendous personal transformations he has made in his life, and I know that you too will agree that he is indeed an expert in transforming oneself into the best possible person that you can be. David went from being trauma and stress burdened, 50 pounds overweight and a smoker, to a 20-time Ironman finisher, having completed hundreds of endurance events, 100+ mile runs and a 4,700-mile ride that lasted 45 days. What an amazing inspiration he is! Then, after his sister developed a brain tumor and died at a young age, David began to look more at the lives of people who had cancer and as well as their caregivers and physicians. His award-winning book was born titled Cycle of Lives – 15 People's Stories, 5000 Miles and a Journey through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer. In it, he seeks to give you a view of the human experience of cancer from many different aspects. All proceeds from book sales go to cancer organizations supported by the 15 people featured in his book.Book: Cycle of Lives – 15 People's Stories, 5000 Miles and a Journey through the Emotional Chaos of CancerWebsite: https://david-richman.com/ www.cycleoflives.orgSocial media:Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidrichman_cycleoflivesFacebook: www.facebook.com/cycleoflives
When you learn you have cancer, you may feel like your life has been turned upside down, and there is no hope. But, just as cancer starts affecting your physical health, it can bring up a wide range of emotions you can't quite explain. But what if it's a family member who gets diagnosed with cancer? Would you know how they feel? How can you show that you genuinely care about them? Today, David Richman shares the idea behind Cycle of Lives. This book chronicles the lives of 15 people affected by cancer, either as patients, doctors, researchers, caregivers, or otherwise. The memoirs will give us a complete view of the human experience as it relates to cancer. David started to form the idea in 2007 when his only sister, June, was in the last few weeks of her battle with cancer.David also talks about his transformation from an overweight smoker to an ultramarathon athlete. This episode is a story of hope and genuine understanding.“With regards to the emotional side of traumas such as cancer, sometimes that stuff is really lonely and really isolating. So I wanted to shine some light on the idea of trying to learn what people have gone through, what they're going through in relation to that trauma.”- David RichmanIn This Episode:- David's transformation story from an overweight smoker to an ultramarathon runner- The Cycle of Lives Project: How David traveled thousands of miles to meet with different people, each of them with unique life experiences but all affected by cancer, to listen to their stories and compile them in a beautiful memoir- How do we really know what people are going through?- How to start running a marathon (physical and emotional preparation)And more!Resources:- Cycle of Lives by David Richman - https://david-richman.com/cycle-of-lives/- Join the FDN Certification Program - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/?afmc=25&utm_source=Affiliate&utm_medium=burton&utm_campaign=affiliate-referral- Get the Right Supplements for You - https://drkylieburton.com/supplements- Why Are My Labs Normal?

Our perspective in any given moment dictates how we live our lives. David Richman (@davidrichman_cycleoflives) is an author and speaker who rode 4700 miles to interview and connect to the stories he tells in his new book Cycle of Lives. Cycle of Lives explores the importance of having difficult conversations with ourselves and others so that we can live a life of integrity and inspiration. “Once you make it okay to quit, it becomes a lot easier to quit… Once you say, no, let me see if I can go just one more step, just go a little bit further, it becomes a little bit easier to not quit” - David Richman Key Takeaways: Sonder: The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Sonder is a term that ties in many psychological concepts relevant to our well-being and staying grounded. Sonder is an awareness of ourselves living a unique perspective and life which entails various abilities. In this awareness, we realize everyone else is also doing this. It is having perspective and understanding. A Life Well Lived: Take a pause to look at yourself in the mirror and asking important questions like, who am I committed to being? What am I doing or not doing that is an expression of that commitment? Who am I now, and who am I becoming? These are a few important questions that can help create a path for a life well lived. Difficult Conversations and Trauma: Whether it is the trauma of our childhood, disease, or a single event, learning how to have conversations with our loved ones about the emotions involved is vital to be connected in our relationships. Everyone Has a Story To Tell: Many people devalue or play down their personal stories. Everyone has a story that, if shared, can help others understand themselves and the world in a new way. Learning to value and tell your personal story is an act of service.

Navigating cancer can be difficult not only at the time of diagnosis, but also while processing the trauma. The grief and sadness can feel overwhelming. The isolation can keep you stuck. The emotions can get packed away.My guest, David Richman, author, athlete and philanthropist, found himself in a life transformation at the same time his sister was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. While she was in the last few weeks of her battle, he made a promise to her and decided to learn more by becoming more involved at a deeper level. The lack of emotion he witnessed in the world of cancer puzzled him. This led him to start a project. One that would change the lives of so many.From this incredible adventure, he wrote his book “Cycle of Lives: 15 People's Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer”To find out more about David and his book “Cycle of Lives”, www.cycleoflives.orgInstagram @davidrichman_cycleoflives Facebook @cycleoflives Follow the link to amazon to get your copy of David's book.

Among other pursuits, David now works with a nationally-recognized financial services firm committed to keeping the advisor in the forefront.Over the last 10 years, David has completed over 50 triathlons, including 15 Ironman-distance triathlons (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run), more than 50 runs longer than marathon distance, including several 24-hour runs, running 85 miles in Mexico in the heat of the summer, running 104 miles straight from Santa Barbara to Manhattan Beach, and most recently biking 4,700-miles in just six weeks as he met with the participants of his upcoming book exploring the emotional side of cancer.Episode Links:Web: https://david-richman.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cycleoflives/Twitter: https://twitter.com/cycleoflivesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidrichman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidrichman_cycleoflives/Joey Pinz Conversations Podcast Information: • Website: https://www.joeypinz.com • Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/joeypinz • Music by Tom Izzo: @wahlsinger https://tomizzomusic.com Support our podcast: • Subscribe: https://joeypinzconversations.com/subscribe/ • How much is this podcast worth to you?

Listen in to my conversation with David Richman who rode his bike 5,000 miles to explore the emotional journey of cancer. After losing his sister to brain cancer, David was led to do something incredible that can inspire us all. In this chat we talk about his intense and unique fundraiser in his sister's memory which was writing a book, Cycle of Lives. This book is the result of 15 people's stories, 5,000 miles and a journey through the emotional chaos of cancer. David shares what motivated him to deeply explore emotional journeys with cancer and the various traumas in their lives that affected their experience. I love how he pulled it all together in his book where the stories are interwoven amongst the narrative of David's solo 5,000-mile bike ride to go meet the book participants. He shares some of the interconnected stories of people overcoming trauma. David generously donates 100% of the net proceeds of the book to various cancer-related charities picked by the book participants or their survivors. Cancer and other diseases come with so much physical impact. I love seeing how David was able to create a safe space to talk about the tough emotions that come with it. Thanks for listening. Hugs, Lorri
Episode 272 is about connecting with yourself. When we look at the mirror, what do we see? David Richman found out who he really was—a man who used to be overweight and chain-smoke until his eventual transformation back into himself. He grew up with a mother hating him, despite everything he did to love her. He used this as a motivation to become a better version of himself. When he looked at his reflection in the mirror, one day and asked Who am I?—his entire life changed. He never trained for an IronMan Triathlon, but instead just went ahead and did it. Same with quitting smoking cold turkey. He rode his bicycle nearly 5 thousand miles across the US - all while telling stories about his journey through this best-selling book called Cycle of Lives, which has given hope to thousands of people who were struggling with mental illness and trauma. This is one ‘pedal to the metal' episode that will inspire you. We all go through cycles in life. Do you feel like you're lost and don't know your whole identity? Our Men on Purpose community can help you with how to find yourself.

David Richman is an author and an endurance athlete. His book is called Cycle of Lives and covers 15 different stories of people touched by Cancer — in many different ways — from patient, to caregiver, to medical provider, to spouse. David was inspired to ride his bike 5,000 miles as he met and interviewed many impacted by Cancer. He did this in honor of his sister June, who'd recently died of brain cancer. It was a courageous journey and he tapped into a lot of deep grief, but also powerful emotional connections. His stories were intriguing, especially how each cancer journey impacts different people. David refers to trauma and emotional chaos, but the narratives also present the gifts and wisdom that may bubble up during the journey. In 2020, in the US alone, there were more than 1.8 mm new cancer cases and over 600k cancer deaths, so it's an important topic to explore. I'm always deeply intrigued by how people cope with the most difficult events in their lives. This book was a rich dive into this.
