Does Great Art Require Suffering? David Choe on The Rich Roll Podcast

ive felt so much pain about my trauma be so small. ive been to rehab with people who've been in war. who've been sexually assulted, who've killed, had friends killed. And im just like, well ive been heartbroken. and i get sad sometimes

I am thankful for the good work you have done, now I am HSV free after using the medicine you sent me, may God bless you DR FRANK CENTER with more wisdom

You almost lost me when you said “people work for me”. Just say “I work with”. Just saying. And revealing my Canadian’izm. Apologies. David is a complete inspiration. Great interview overall tho 🙏

Yea this guys past, from his own mouth, is not a good person.

ill do the show

Well done Rich ❤️

Ive never made any money from being an artist, even though im not bad, selling it is weird, im an unsuccessful artist, im poor, but whenever someone asks me if they can buy one..? I don't know how to respond because i don't do it for the money, if people appreciate it that's enough.

One thing David show has done for everybody is speak openly about all of his experiences and what it’s like to be to come from being a fucking broadcast to a fucking billionaire and how he fucks with your fucking mind. I think him so much for saying that

being Korean can be so traumatic and cold . I feel like it’s ingrained and maybe only other Koreans can really understand sometimes , this was amazing ❤

we'll never know because everyone suffers

STUDY NATURAL LAW WITH MARK PASSIO.

I hope David is aware of the power of psilocybin mushrooms to heal addiction - judging by his hoody he does.

No it doesn't, most motherfuckers are just too lazy, uninspired and underfunded to make anything great. Prime example is The Iron Giant, except they still managed it while being underfunded. It's not that most great artists suffered, it's that the overwhelming majority of people suffer in general, and artists are part of that.

I don’t think anyone cares about David so sad

David should just play himself if they do a movie about him. They could film the more current parts first then he could lose weight and shave his beard and he could play younger David too.

I became addicted to listening to David talk, he is so real, so genuine, so honest and even humble. His presence and voice are captivating. I have caught myself searching for anything where I can hear him speak. I can relate with his experiences on many levels and he has helped me face my own demons. He has mentioned to Steve O that he gets very nerveous doing podcasts, so thank you David for facing your fears and opening your soul to us! You are a very interesting human being and it is a pleasure learning about your life, your struggles and how you've grown. I'm glad you got your riches, you deserve it!

He was the most authentic character in Beef.

Awesome Content!!!!!!!

Rich, This is my first episode of this podcast and I found it to be beyond real raw and relevant. I cried 4 times not because David was paused by the whelm of his emotions, but by how that whelm allowed him to be more revealing, more open, more vulnerable, which allowed me to see myself in his inner reflection. You both have my respect, my thanks, and I salute you both.

David u are a lovely person

No wonder he was good in beef. He was just being himself!!

thats its.... im getting rid of my phone. i gamble all my money away and its killing me.... but after hearing david talk about not having a phone... i am sold. i was close to smashing it to pieces earlier on today so this podcast has just made up my mind

beef....amazing tv show

anyone is interesting under the limelight

we really be putting anyone on a pedastool, huh. can't wait for the rebirth / "reset"

🙏

Quoting the biblical wow

Damn i love david, his openness on his path frees me to walk mine 💙🙏thank you

I feel blessed. I woke up and this was playing. I went to sleep listening to Tiger Belly. I’ve never heard of this channel. I’ve heard of David Choe before and always been impressed/fascinated by him and his experiences. Well, Rich Roll you earned my subscription right away in the intro because of how beautifully you articulate things. You are clearly a loving, kind, wonderful person and I mean that. My eyes started watering right now in typing this because of how obvious it is that you are intentionally positive, constructive, helpful, understanding and present. I’m only getting to know you and your channel but I appreciate you and the inner work you’ve done. Thank you for being you!

This dudes acting in the Netflix series ‘Beef’ is so bad!😂

It's one thing to be confident. But its another to be under domestic violence.

I always won almost all art awards in school. But politics of teachers found another teachers student for sterling scholar. Me I've suffered ever since.

I lied to ex because he would drown me for truth.

Bobby!! 💐🌸🌹🌺🪻🌻

David choo is THE artist . The man !

BRILLIANT

this dude is such a poser

Has this been removed from spotify? cant find it

Love this dude and it was Soundgarden not Nirvana who played Slaves and Bulldozers.

Short answer no. Behind a great piece of art is a muse, suffering isn't a requirement

loved this guy for over 10 years. He, like you, is such a special and incredibly interesting person.

I meditated in the ihop parking lot 🤣🐐

Bro stop with intro just go to the fuckin pod

thank you for making me feel less lonely

Wow.

oof, the section about asking permission did not age well
