Rich Roll firmly believes in the power of following one's heart and trusting that the universe will support their journey. He is a living testament to the transformative effects of personal growth.
At the age of 40, Rich faced a major turning point in his life. He had successfully overcome his addiction to alcohol but found himself out of shape and overweight. Recognizing the need for a significant lifestyle change, he made the decision to adopt a 100% plant-based diet.
Through his dedication and commitment, Rich was able to shed 50 pounds and achieve remarkable success in the world of endurance racing. He astonished the endurance community by securing top finishes in grueling races such as the Ultraman World Championships. His achievements earned him recognition as one of the "25 Fittest Men in the World."
In May 2010, Rich further solidified his incredible transformation by embarking on the EPIC5 Challenge. This extraordinary odyssey involved completing five ironman-distance triathlons on five different islands of Hawaii in less than a week. This feat served as a testament to Rich's unwavering determination and indomitable spirit.
Today, Rich devotes his life to exploring the limitless potential of the human spirit. He draws inspiration from top performers in various fields, including ultra-endurance, wellness, business, and culture. Rich shares the invaluable lessons he has learned about personal empowerment through his best-selling memoir, "Finding Ultra," and his highly acclaimed podcast, the "Rich Roll Podcast."
His mission is to inspire and empower others to unlock their full potential and live a life of purpose and fulfillment.
Booking Rich Roll as a speaker will inspire your team or business with the powerful story of personal transformation and the limitless potential of human spirit. His firsthand experience in overcoming adversity, achieving remarkable success in endurance sports, and embracing a holistic approach to wellness and productivity, offers invaluable insights into perseverance, discipline, and the importance of a growth mindset.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
