Meet Jedi Rich
Discover the extraordinary journey of Jedi Rich, a man who defied the odds to achieve success and personal transformation. Born in Portland, Ore., Jedi Rich left home at 17 with a camera, a bicycle and a dream, eventually graduating with a B.S in Biology from Lewis & Clark College, his grandfather's alma mater. By age 30, he had amassed over 1 million dollars in assets and was transferred to Manhattan.
Jedi RIch's life took an unexpected turn on the fateful day of 9/11. The tragedy shook him to the core, leading him to abandon his corporate career and embark on a journey of self-discovery and reinvention. He found solace as a bartender in Aspen, then pursued photography in Las Vegas and Panama before eventually settling back in Las Vegas.
Tragedy struck again, this time twice the magnitude of 9/11. The Mandalay Bay shooting occurred less than a mile from Jedi Rich's residence, as the shooter targeted and hit 700 country music festival attendees. This was the largest mass shooting in U.S. history. But this time, Jedi Rich chose not to run. Instead, he stayed and faced the psychological turmoil of witnessing yet another tragedy.
The aftermath of the Mandalay massacre transformed the once, self-consumed Rich into Jedi Rich, a persona he adopted to cope with the recurring trauma. Unlike the old Rich, Jedi Rich was required to relinquish all his possessions and live in a cave for three months to learn the art of minimalist living.
This unconventional form of therapy led to the creation of a monetized YouTube channel, backed by a full Apple-based recording studio in a small weekly rental apartment. The studio produced a video that garnered over 1 million views on X (formerly known as Twitter), marking a significant milestone in Jedi Rich's journey.
Today, Jedi Rich shares his wisdom and experience through his wife's bulimia recovery weight loss on YouTube @HealthyWeightForce, and her website, Healthy Weight Force, where she teaches others the benefits of a ketogenic lifestyle. In addition to this, Jedi Rich dedicates his time to caring for his mentally disabled sister and managing his elderly mother's finances. He also created a website for his sister called Annette Asinines. In between these responsibilities, he continues to inspire, entertain and educate through his X (formerly Twitter) posts.
Jedi Rich's remarkable story serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of personal growth. Follow his journey and unlock the secrets to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
