Tom Shadyac: The A-List Filmmaker Who Gave Away Millions & Found Fulfillment Through Service

The Rich Roll Podcast

Tom Shadyac is the acclaimed director of hit comedies like “Ace Ventura,” “Bruce Almighty,” and “The Nutty Professor,” who walked away from Hollywood success to pursue a life of greater meaning.

This conversation explores Tom’s spiritual journey from materialism to service, his life-changing work with Memphis Rox, and his iconoclastic views on consciousness and human interconnectedness. We discuss the illusion of separation, finding purpose through community, and how embracing uncertainty can lead to profound personal growth.

Along the way, Tom turns the tables and becomes the interviewer—probing my relationship with ego and uncertainty.

Tom’s wisdom and humor are such a treasure. Enjoy!
