Rich Roll Biography

Rich Roll is a living testament to personal transformation. He is the host of the wildly popular Rich Roll podcast, as well as an accomplished ultra-endurance athlete, wellness advocate, and author. Through his podcast, Roll delves into areas such as health and wellness, spirituality, entrepreneurship, creativity, and personal development, aiming to inspire and empower listeners to unlock their full potential and live their best lives.

On the eve of his 40th birthday, Roll was overweight and out of shape, rebuilding himself after overcoming a long battle with addiction. Unwilling to face an unhealthy future and in need of a radical reset, Roll switched to a 100% plant-based diet and began a strict regimen of running and swimming. Within two years, he had lost 50 pounds and shocked the ultramarathon and triathlon communities by becoming the first vegan to not only complete the 320-mile ultramarathon event, but also finish in the top ten males. Soon after, he accomplished the EPIC5 Challenge, completing five ironman-distance triathlons on the five islands of Hawaii in under one week.

To execute such remarkable feats is one thing; to inspire others to do the same is another. In 2012, Roll published his memoir "Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself." The book quickly became a bestseller and established Roll as a wellness community leader and insightful storyteller. He settled further into this role after launching his podcast, a conversation-based series that decodes human transformation with artists, athletes, business leaders, and more.

In 2024, Roll took his mission further and launched Voicing Change Media in partnership with RXR. The creator podcast network features talent such as Rainn Wilson and Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and strives to amplify top voices in health, wellness, performance, spirituality, and culture.

Roll’s journey shows that no matter how deep the pit, it’s never too late to climb out and soar. His story isn’t just one of personal triumph; it’s a beacon of hope for anyone who feels lost or stuck.

Rich Roll Speaking Topics

  • Investing In the Journey

    The most popular meme of the decade just might be the hack. Hack your diet, hack your fitness, hack your job, hack your wife. But when did a term so historically pejorative suddenly become aspirational. In this short 15-minute, TED Talk-type discourse, Rich launches a plea to forget short-cuts and our insatiable drive for instant gratification. An appeal to not only slow down, but to invest in the journey. An inspirational and illuminating look at the insanity that drives us away from the goals, success and life satisfaction we so desperately seek.

  • The Plantpower Athlete

    Collective wisdom is that “vegan” and “athlete” cannot co-exist. But this is pure nonsense. In this illuminating talk, Rich reveals the truth behind nutrition, the tactics used by conglomerate food manufacturers to dupe and confuse consumers and sets the record straight – not only can you succeed athletically on a plant-based diet, it is the optimal protocol for maximum performance.
