Episode Summary
I found Robbie on the day he started his 75-day, 3,175 mile run across America through a post that Rich Roll made on Instagram. From then forward, I followed his Plant Powered mission as he traversed the entire country, covering an average of 43 miles daily for 75 consecutive days. A large feat, to say the least!
I was so pleased to have this conversation and dive deeper to understand the passion and energy that fueled Robbie's plant powered mission. It was a wonderful conversation!
Some highlights include...
- Robbie's love of the environment leading to his Plant Powered Mission
