Gears And Nachos

If you've ever had or considered a 2nd income stream, you're not alone. Uncertain times, recession, inflation, we're hearing it all. How does the monster truck industry cope? Survive? How should drivers think about damage, costs? Adam Anderson, Ryan Anderson, and Bryce Kenny talk about the mental side of the present world of Monster Jam and the future… sometimes you win, sometimes you learn! Failure is not an option.

Bryce and Adam talk about how to adjust from driving in stadiums to arenas, welcome Cole Venard back to talk about him and Adam's time with The Legend truck together, and how leveraging one opportunity to the next is the key to moving forward in life. Guest appearance by Jeff Sinn towards the end to talk about what it's like crewing for Adam and the importance of the driver/crew chief working relationship.

Bryce and Adam welcome 3 Monster Jam superfans Reagan (@Monster.Jam.Lord), Wayne (@AvengersRacing) and Armando (@MonsterJamReels) onto the podcast to tell their stories, share social media growth experiences (over half a million followers combined), and just hang out with a couple crazy monster truck drivers.

Bryce Kenny and Adam Anderson welcome their favorite Canadian superstar Cam McQueen onto the Podcast for an epic episode! Cam's "live like there's no tomorrow" mindset has opened up some incredible opportunities for him chasing his dreams along the way in motorsports. Cam got his major break with Nitro Circus working with Travis Pastrana, jumping a school bus over a 125ft gap, eventually driving a Monster Jam truck, the FIRST ever to complete a backflip in a monster truck in competition, and creator of the "corkscrew" in a monster truck. We discuss first impressions, Cam's "veteran" clique inside of Monster Jam giving Bryce a hard time his first year in the sport, Cam and Adam tell stories from wild nights at Travis Pastrana's house back in the day (did Adam Anderson try to fight Jimmie Johnson?!?). When it's all said and done, life is about the memories you make and friendships you build, and nobody is better at achieving those two things than Cam McQueen.
