Rich Roll

Simply put, Rich Roll likes to run far and talk long. Named one of the "25 Fittest Men in the World" by Men's Fitness and "The World's Fittest Vegan" by Men's Health, Rich is a globally renowned ultra-endurance athlete, wellness advocate, bestselling author, husband, and father of four. At age 40, Rich made a decision to overhaul the sedentary throes of overweight middle age. Walking away from a career in law, he reinvented himself as an ultra-distance endurance athlete, clocking top finishes at the Ultraman World Championships and cementing his place in the pantheon of endurance greats by becoming the first of two people to complete EPIC5: five Ironmans on five Hawaiian Islands in under a week. Rich shares his inspirational story of addiction, redemption, and optimal health in his number-one bestselling memoir, Finding Ultra, and the cookbook and lifestyle guides The Plantpower Way and The Plantpower Way: Italia, which he co-authored with his wife Julie Piatt. Rich has been featured on CNN and on the cover of Outside magazine, and has been profiled everywhere from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal. When he isn't lost on a trail or spending time with his wife, four children, and two Great Pyrenees, he hosts the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast, one of the top 100 podcasts in the world with close to 100 million downloads.
