Thanks for watching! Read all about Chris here 👉🏼https://bit.ly/richroll518 Chris Mosier is a hall of fame triathlete, All-American duathlete, 2-time National Champion and a 6-time member of Team USA. In 2015 he became the first known transgender man to represent the United States in international competition. This is a conversation about Chris’s life. His transition. His trials and tribulations. But more than anything, it’s about the privileges of gender, race, and class, and how our country is treating so many of her citizens as non-humans. May this exchange inform, alarm, and inspire you. PSA: This episode was recorded pre-coronavirus. But unfortunately, many of the systematic problems we discussed will persist well beyond the pandemic. ✌🏼🌱 - Rich EPISODE 518 AUDIO PODCAST Blog & Show Notes: https://bit.ly/richroll518 CHRIS MOSIER https://www.thechrismosier.com https://twitter.com/TheChrisMosier https://www.strava.com/pros/188131 https://www.facebook.com/thechrismosier https://www.instagram.com/thechrismosier LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/rrpitunes Spotify: http://bit.ly/rrpspotify Android: http://bit.ly/rrpgoogle FILMED AND EDITED BY BLAKE CURTIS https://www.blakecurtis.net/ * * * * * CONNECT WITH RICH ✩ Website - http://richroll.com ✩ Pod: Rich Roll Podcast - http://bit.ly/richrollpod ✩ Memoir: Finding Ultra - http://bit.ly/rrfindingultrarev ✩ Meals - http://meals.richroll.com ✩ Cook - The Plantpower Way - http://bit.ly/rrppwbook ✩ Italian! - The Plantpower Way: Italia - http://bit.ly/rrppwitalia ✩ Support - https://www.patreon.com/richroll SOCIALS ✩ Instagram - http://instagram.com/richroll ✩ Twitter - http://twitter.com/richroll ✩ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/richrollfans ✩ Strava - http://www.strava.com/athletes/richroll NEW TO ME?
