NLS 100: UNTHINKABLE Comeback: From ALCOHOLIC To BECOMING the FITTEST Man On The Planet with Rich Roll

NLS 100: UNTHINKABLE Comeback: From ALCOHOLIC To BECOMING the FITTEST Man On The Planet with Rich Roll

If you need some inspiration in your life this is the episode for you. We have on the show podcast, author and one of the fittest men in the world Rich Roll. At age 40, and after years of struggling with drugs, alcohol, and unhealthy living, Rich dedicated his diet to plants and his body to purposeful action. Just two years later, he began clocking top finishes at Ultraman World Championships and leading a community of others looking to transform their lives.

A graduate of Stanford University and Cornell Law School, Rich is a 55-year old, accomplished vegan ultra-endurance athlete and former entertainment attorney turned full-time wellness & plant-based nutrition advocate, popular public speaker, husband, father of 4 and inspiration to people worldwide as a transformative example of courageous and healthy living.

In 2012, Rich became a #1 bestselling author with the publication of his inspirational memoir Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself.

Taking up where the book leaves off, in 2013 Rich launched the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast, which persistently sits atop the iTunes top-10 lists. In 2014, Rich & his wife Julie Piatt published the bestselling cookbook and lifestyle primer, The Plantpower Way: Whole Food Plant-Based Recipes And Guidance For The Whole Family.

In May 2010, Rich and his ultra-colleague Jason Lester accomplished an unprecedented feat of staggering endurance many said was not possible. Something they call the EPIC5 CHALLENGE– an odyssey that entailed completing 5 ironman-distance triathlons on 5 islands of Hawaii in under a week. Commencing on Kauai, they travelled to Oahu, Molokai and Maui before finishing on the Big Island, following the course of the Ironman World Championships on the Kona coast.

In addition, Rich has been a top finisher at the 2008 and 2009 Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. Considered by many to be one of world’s most daunting and grueling endurance races on the planet, Ultraman is a 3-day / 320 mile double-ironman distance triathlon that circumnavigates the entire Big Island. Limited to only 35 carefully selected invitation-only participants from all over the world, Day 1 involves a 6.2 mile ocean swim immediately followed by a 90 mile cross-country cycling race. Day 2 is a 170 mile cycling race. And the event culminates on Day 3 with a 52 mile double marathon run on the searing hot lava fields of the Kona coast.

But what makes Rich truly remarkable is that less than two years prior to his first Ultraman, he didn’t even own a bike, let alone race one.

Although he competed as a butterfly swimmer at Stanford University in the late 80’s, Rich’s career was cut short by struggles with drugs and alcohol — an addiction that led him astray for the next decade, alienating friends, colleagues and family, landing him in jails, institutions and ultimately rehab at age 31. Although sober, Rich soon found himself 50 pounds overweight; the furthest thing from fit. Everything came to head on the eve of his 40th birthday. Defeated by a mere flight of stairs that left him buckled over in pain, he foresaw the almost certain heart attack looming in his near future.

"It was time for a major life change." – RICH ROLL

The day immediately following his staircase epiphany, Rich overhauled his diet, became a dedicated vegan, put on his running shoes and jumped back into the pool. It wasn’t long before ambition took hold and his quest to participate in Ultraman slowly began. Two years later, 50 pounds lighter, and fueled by nothing but plants, he surprised the triathlon & ultra communities by not only becoming the first vegan to complete the 320-mile über-endurance event, but by finishing in the top 10 males (3rd fastest American) with the 2nd fastest swim split — all despite having never previously completed even a half-ironman distance triathlon.

In 2009, Rich returned to Ultraman twice the athlete he was the year prior. Despite a stacked field, he took home first day honors with a blistering 2:21 swim victory (6th fastest of all time) and a third fastest bike leg to win the day with a 10 minute lead on the field. On Day 2 Rich suffered a serious bike crash but managed to salvage the day in 6th place overall. With an injured knee and shoulder Rich nonetheless went on to a 7:51 Day 3 double-marathon to hold onto 6th place overall.

Rich’s plant-fueled feats of boundary-pushing athleticism have been featured on CNN and major publications including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, The Huffington Post, Stanford Magazine, Men’s Health Living, VegNews, Triathlete, Outside, 3/GO Magazine and Men’s Fitness Magazine, which named Rich as one of the “25 Fittest Men in the World.”

I can't think of a better guest for our 100th episode of Next Level Soul. Enjoy my conversation with Rich Roll.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: GOOSEBUMPS! Woman Has Most Detailed Near-Death Experience TOUR of HEAVEN EVER! with Lura Ketchledge

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: GOOSEBUMPS! Woman Has Most Detailed Near-Death Experience TOUR of HEAVEN EVER! with Lura Ketchledge

In the boundless dance of existence, there come moments when the veil between the known and the unknown lifts, revealing the mysteries that lie beyond. On today's episode, we welcome the captivating Lura Ketchledge, who takes us on a journey through her extraordinary near-death experience (NDE). Lura Ketchledge's narrative is a compelling testament to the profound transformations that can emerge from crossing the threshold of life and death.Lura's life before her NDE was a whirlwind of youthful exuberance and exploration. At 19, she was navigating the vibrant social scene of Washington D.C., juggling jobs, relationships, and the occasional horseback riding adventure. Raised with Judeo-Christian values by her Presbyterian minister grandfather, she had a foundation in spirituality, yet she harbored doubts about organized religion. This skepticism set the stage for the profound spiritual awakening that was to come.On a sunny day that seemed perfect for horseback riding, Lura's life took a dramatic turn. As she raced a horse back to the barn, she was thrown off with such force that her body went one way and her soul another. "I went off like a bottle rocket off that horse and I never hit the ground. I never felt the impact because my body literally went one way and my soul went another," she recalls. Plunged into a dark tunnel at a high speed, she was acutely aware of her separation from her physical form and knew she was dead.In this disorienting tunnel, Lura experienced a gamut of emotions—from profound sadness to self-recrimination for the choices that led her there. But then came the light, and with it, her grandfather, no longer ravaged by cancer but healthy and vibrant. The reunion with her grandfather was a moment of immense joy, overshadowing even the strangeness of her situation. However, this joy was tempered by the subsequent life review, a common feature in NDEs, where she was shown the impact of her actions on others, both good and bad.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSSelf-Reflection and Growth: Lura's life review emphasized the importance of understanding how our actions affect others. "You judge yourself," she says, highlighting that the process is not about external judgment but about self-awareness and the desire to improve.The Continuity of Relationships: One of the most comforting revelations for Lura was the assurance that relationships transcend physical death. The love and connections we forge in life continue beyond, offering solace and hope.The Non-Linear Nature of Time: Lura's experience with the concept of simultaneous lifetimes across different periods and realities challenges our conventional understanding of time. This realization underscores the complexity and interconnectedness of our existence.As Lura journeyed further, she found herself at Source, a realm of indescribable love and bliss. "It was like floating in a sea of love," she describes, where she felt the presence of other consciousnesses, possibly versions of herself from different lifetimes. This profound sense of unity and peace was, however, brief. She was soon whisked away to a new reality, a beautiful beach where her thoughts could manifest physical objects, revealing the responsive nature of the realms beyond.Returning to her body was a jarring experience, marked by intense pain and the harshness of physical reality. Despite the trauma and the initial disbelief she encountered from medical professionals, Lura emerged with a renewed understanding of life and death. Her journey didn't end there; she continued to experience paranormal phenomena, reinforcing her connection to the non-physical realms and deepening her spiritual insights.Lura's story is a vivid reminder that life is a tapestry of experiences meant to teach and transform us. Her near-death experience, while deeply personal, offers universal lessons about love, accountability, and the eternal nature of the soul. Her message is clear: we are not alone, and our lives are interwoven with those of others, both in this world and beyond.In conclusion, Lura Ketchledge's near-death experience provides a powerful testament to the mysteries that lie beyond our physical existence. Her journey from the brink of death back to life has gifted her with profound insights and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.Please enjoy my conversation with Lura Ketchledge.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.
