Simply put, Rich Roll is a change agent.
At age 40, Rich made the decision to overhaul the sedentary throes of overweight middle age. Walking away from a career in law, he reinvented himself as a globally recognized ultra-distance endurance athlete, bestselling author, and host of the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast, one of the world’s most listened to podcasts with over 200 million downloads.
Named one the “25 Fittest Men In The World” by Men’s Fitness and the “Guru of Reinvention” by Outside, Rich shares his inspirational story of addiction, redemption, athletic prowess, and authentic living in his bestselling memoir, Finding Ultra, and in the cookbook and lifestyle guides The Plantpower Way and The Plantpower Way: Italia, which he co-authored with his wife Julie Piatt.
A graduate of Stanford University (and member of their dynastic, multiple NCAA Championship Men’s Swimming program) and Cornell Law School, Rich has been featured on CNN and on the cover of Outside magazine, and has been profiled in The New York Times, Forbes, ESPN and many other prominent media outlets.
