Summary

In the debut episode of the Rich Roll Podcast, Rich converses with his wife Julie Piatt about life in Kauai, sustainable lifestyle, enhancing your personal creativity and homeschooling. Finally! I've been talking about doing a podcast for what seems like eons. For whatever reason, I just couldn't seem to get around to actually figuring out how to do it, let alone get it done. But I finally found the time to sort through at least the initial barrier configuration issues and am happy to announce my virgin episode, which features my wife and (much) better half Julie Piatt. We are still sorting through some tech issues so it's far from studio polished, aside from the killer intro / outro music courtesy of my very talented son Tyler and nephew Harrison! The sound from this episode is admittedly a bit echo-y due to the warehouse recording environment– and I have yet to configure it for video and livestream broadcasting, which I am currently working on. But rather than wait until I had everything perfect, I wanted to just begin. Start slow and organically and let it grow as I find my voice and legs so to speak. I'm far from a professional broadcaster, but I hope that through this effort I can bring some insights and interesting people to your ears that will both enlighten, provoke and entertain. First off – this is NOT a “triathlon training / coaching” styled podcast. There are plenty of those out there already that are very well done ( Zen Triathlon and IMTalk are my faves for this), so if you are looking for a podcast that is very narrowly tailored to this specific subject and this subject only, then I fear my program may not be exactly what you are looking for. And yet, I implore to nonetheless give it a trial run with an open mind (and ears). Instead, my plan is to provide a long-form discussion platform to raise and converse about a wide variety of subjects that interest me. Certainly, triathlon, running, cycling, swimming, training, fitness in general and everything that goes into that is of course a subject that interests me dearly, so of course I will be programming helpful information in this regard. But my focus will broaden from there into plant-based nutrition for the athlete and everyman (and woman); wellness in general; spirituality; yoga & meditation; and sustainable lifestyle. Most importantly, my desire is to create a platform to help lead the way to unlocking the best version of yourself. How to live more authentically. And thrive from the heart. I hope you enjoy this first episode. Many more in the works and I hope to record at least 2 to 3 of these per week. I am very interested in your thoughts on the episode, comments in general and ideas for future episodes. In the comments section below, PLEASE let me know what YOU think, would be interested in hearing me talk about in future episodes, people you would like me to interview, and anything else on your mind. I'm wide open. Peace + Plants, Rich

0:00.0	Hey everybody, it's Rich Roll, coming to you from the Rich Roll podcast, episode 1.
0:20.0	I've been talking about doing a podcast for a long time, it's something I've always
0:24.0	wanted to do.
0:25.0	I'm a huge podcast fan, I listen to tons of podcasts, I listen to them when I'm in
0:29.9	the car, I listen to them when I'm training, and really, they've brought a lot of value
0:36.6	to my life as well as entertainment, and I think it's a fantastic medium for connecting
0:42.3	with people and providing a long form opportunity to get to know interesting people and learn
0:48.4	something, and it's a medium that is old as time, and as new as it gets as well, it's
0:58.0	you watch TV, and the interviews that you hear are five-second clips of somebody promoting
1:02.2	a movie or whatnot, and you never really get to know the person, you never get to get
1:06.6	behind what it is, the initial message that they're trying to deliver, so I thought
1:11.8	it would be interesting to check it out myself and start my own podcast and kind of take
1:19.5	a tip from others that I've listened to and have enjoyed and see what I can bring to
1:24.0	the table, and my hope is that over time, I'll be able to bring some interesting insights
1:29.4	to you, not just things that I've learned personally and experiences that I've had,
1:35.5	but also to introduce you to people in my world, interesting guests, people with different
1:41.0	points of views on a whole variety of matters, not necessarily all that I agree with, but
1:48.2	to kind of create a safe and broad platform for lots of different ideas to converge, I
1:55.2	guess, is what I'm thinking. And if you listen to the Joe Rogan podcast, I think he does
1:59.3	a great job of that, like he'll have all sorts of dynamic guests on, and his only real
2:04.1	criteria is subject matter or a person that interests me, and it doesn't mean that he
2:09.1	agrees with them or whatever, but he gives the person a safe space to breathe and convey
