This is not new. Maybe you know him. In case you don’t, here is his website. In a nutshell so small you will not feel it, Rich is an ultra athlete and a big believer in vegan nutrition. He started his ultra training after reaching the age of 40 in a bad shape, mentally and physically.

He has a cool wife and 4 kids. Living in an amazing house with a great view.

Currently he has a successful podcast, focusing on helping others to explore physical and mental quests and much more.

In case you saw, I try to find in each inspirational story, the special story or angle that resonate with me. Here and here.

So here it is for Rich’s story.

First, his voice. Soft, round. Welcoming. He seems like a good listener. Genuinely interested in learning and hearing.

Rich is data and facts driven, which is what I’d like everyone to be in an ideal world.

He is very pro vegan but admits he does not relate to the some of the communication that pro vegan movements use. Not coming from revolution but from growth.

He started his quest at what he calls middle age (what?… I see myself as a teenager :(). He escaped what he calls, and many of us feel, the Prison of Fear.

He is open about his struggles and failures.

He is on a mission together with his partner Julie. She is there for him. Her belief and values serve as a wall for him. This is so important. This is what love means. Be together when it’s hard and the fear and doubts come.

He took his passion and made it his life and work. This is the small thing. Much more important are who he is and the road he is taking.

He does sports. A lot. He eats green. A lot. My kind of guy.

Thanks Rich.

Someone will get heart. Someone will disagree. Someone will not like you.

It will be hard. You will get tired.

But you don’t stop. You turn it to fuel for your journey. Your raise your head and look to the horizon.

Work. Hard. Try. Hard. Don’t compromise.

Be inspired and close to your family. Listen to them. Listen to yourself.
