Summary
In this season one finale, Rip guides listeners through Joe Inga's triathlon and shares the celebration and jubilation of crossing the finish line. This race and this journey, however, has been so much more than just completing a triathlon.
.
Joe is proof that you can be a hero to yourself, your family and an inspiration to anyone who is craving a lifestyle change. As Joe says, "I went from death's door to doing a triathlon in six months!"
.
But before we dive into the pond with Joe, we share part of an insightful conversation with James Wilks, the producer of the upcoming film, The Game Changers, on athletic performance and plant protein. If you don't have your tickets yet, the global theatrical release takes place on Monday, September 16th!

| 0:06.9 | The long away today is finally here. |
| 0:10.6 | And for those of you who have been listening and following the podcast and day one, you |
| 0:15.7 | know that Joe Inga, our Bronx firefighter, has come an enormously long way to be towing |

| 0:39.5 | where he is surrounded by foods that are off-plan and accrued guys who are less than enthused |
