Welcome to another edition of ‘Roll On’, wherein we riff on matters of interest across sports, culture, entertainment, and self-betterment.
Today we dissect top headlines from the world of endurance, celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Rich’s book Finding Ultra, discuss the elements that comprise an impactful memoir, and announce an exciting new giveaway.
As always, my co-host is Mr. Adam Skolnick, an activist, veteran journalist, and David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me co-author. Adam writes about adventure sports, environmental issues, and civil rights for outlets such as The New York Times, Outside, ESPN, BBC, and Men’s Health. He is also the author of One Breath and still uses the ‘new dad’ excuse to avoid working on his novel.
“Nobody’s out there awaiting your work. You’ve got to make it happen for yourself.”
– RICH ROLL
Specific topics discussed in today’s episode include:
- The devastating murder of star gravel cyclist Moriah ‘Mo’ Wilson ;
- Alistair Brownlee & Kristian Blummenfelt’s upcoming sub-7-hour Ironman project;

- pop star Cody Simpson landing a spot on the Australian World Championship Swimming Team; and
- what Rich learned about writing, publishing, life, and success on the 10th anniversary of Finding Ultra.
