Summary

My buddy Vinnie Tortorich — ultra-cyclist, celebrity trainer, fellow podcast host and now author — joins the show for a record 3rd appearance to talk about the release of his new book Fitness Confidential*. Part memoir, part fitness primer and part comedy, this book is your beach read for July. Vinnie and I don't always see eye to eye on everything – particularly nutrition. And he's not everyone's cup of tea. But he's still my man — we've gone through a lot together and he has always been there for me. I love that Vinnie calls it like he sees it, doesn't pull punches and isn't afraid to call BS — particularly when it comes to the latest health and/or nutrition fad. If that appeals to you, then you'll love the book. It's pure Vinnie, through and through Writing a book is damn hard. But what's even harder is getting people to read it after you spent years of blood, sweat, tears and toil to get it right. I've been there. So the least I can do for my good friend is give him my microphone, let him tell you about the process first hand, and help him spread the word. I hope you enjoy the show! Rich

0:19.2	What's up health nuts, fitness freaks, this is Rich Roll and welcome to the Rich Roll
0:24.9	Podcast. Who am I? I am a plant-based ultra endurance athlete, tri-athlete, multi-sport
0:32.9	athlete. I am an author. I'm the author of the best-selling book Finding Ultra. I am a healthy
0:41.3	lifestyle advocate and I am a public speaker. I'm actually coming to you from Johnstown PA. I was
0:49.2	on a plane all day yesterday flying out of L.A. to Central Pennsylvania. I'm speaking at the
0:54.1	vegetarian summer fest and I'll tell you a little bit about that in a second. But what we do
0:59.5	here, what do we do here? My goal is to bring you the best and the brightest in health, fitness,
1:06.4	nutrition, athletics, people pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the human body and the
1:14.8	human spirit. Over the last couple years I've had the good fortune of meeting a lot of incredible
1:19.6	people. I walk this plant-based path, this path of reinventing myself as a middle-aged athlete
1:29.0	and health advocate and I started this podcast so that I could introduce to you guys all of these
1:35.6	wonderful personalities and have long-form conversations with them so that they have yet another
1:44.5	platform to share their knowledge and their information with you. The idea is to bring you this
1:50.2	information to inspire you and educate you but most of all to empower you to become your best
1:59.2	self. Do I say self? Self? Self. We all have that dream-deferred locked down deep inside of us
2:10.4	and if my book speaks to anything or if I'm about anything it's about trying to unlock and unleash
2:18.0	that more authentic version of yourself and empower you to capture that dream and pursue it to
2:25.4	become more of who you are, who you were meant to be. In this short life on Planet Earth because
2:31.4	life is short man and times of the essence. So let's get going. Let's get right into it. Like I
