Welcome to episode 37 of the Rich Roll Podcast, with professional Iron Man triathlete, Hillary Biscay.

The Rich Roll Podcast.

Check, check, one, two, one, two, one, two, three. Hello, this is Rich Roll. This is the Rich Roll Podcast.

Welcome to the show. Welcome back, you've been listening. Thanks for all the support. Thanks for all your great comments on iTunes page.

We're back at you today with another great show. But before I get into a little bit about what I have in store for you today, who am I?

I am an author, author of the book Finding Ultra, now available in paperback. I am an ultra endurance triathlete.

I like to do races that are really long. I am a plant-based nutrition advocate. I'm all about living the plant-based lifestyle and helping people incorporate more plants into their diet for sustainable, positive lifestyle change.

I am a, well, semi, I guess I'm a lifestyle entrepreneur, whatever that means. I'm a family guy. I'm married. I've got four kids and I'm coming at you now as a podcast host.

My goal with this show is to bring you the best and the brightest minds in health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, and athleticism.

All people with one common goal in their message, which is how to live well, how to maximize the most out of this short life on this planet.

So I've had nutritionists, I've had doctors, I've had world-class athletes, all different types of athletes, and I've even had entrepreneurs.

Usually paradigm-busting personalities are the best and brightest minds here to help inform you and me.

I learn as much from these people as you do, and I've been lucky enough to sit in this chair and spend time with these people, a lot of which are individuals that I've met along this path over the last several years since I started this plant-based journey or this return to health and fitness and wellness, and it's my great pleasure and honor to introduce them to you.

But an important thing to remember is it's not about a guru. It's not about holding these people up on a pedestal or idolizing anybody. This is about you. It's all about self-empowerment.

Everything that I'm trying to do here is about trying to help you achieve your best self to have these people convey their vast knowledge so that you can take from that. What works for you?

You may not agree with everything. That's fine. Take what works for you, discard the rest, and use it, incorporate it into your life to optimize your own health, wellness, and fitness, and nutrition.

The idea is to empower you to unlock and unleash your best self.

Today on the show, I have a very exciting guest. Somebody with whom I have many points of intersection and overlapping interests. Her name is Hillary Biscay. She's one of the bright shining stars on the Ironman professional circuit, and she is quite prolific in her career.

She just finished her 60th Ironman down in Brazil. Can you believe that's 60 Ironmans? She continues to improve and get faster. In fact, her race down in Brazil, I think it was her second fastest Ironman ever.

The only faster Ironman that I believe she's done was a challenge wrote or a Roth, I'm not sure how you say it, which is a really fast course. She's really awesome. She's really cool.

And she's also the first guest that I've had on the show who is also an Ultraman competitor. She did it back in 2010, which was a year that I skipped that I didn't compete. Unfortunately, it would have been really fun to do the race with her.

And she sits down with me and we talk all about the Ultraman experience from the perspective of a professional Ironman triathlete, which is pretty unique. She's one of the only pros who is competed at this race, and she has a unique perspective on it, which I am excited to share with you.
