PODcakes | Episode 18 | Lauren Trantham with Ride my Road This podcast is undoubtedly the most significant one I've produced so far, and it might be one of the most impactful ones I've ever listened to. Lauren's dedication through her nonprofit, Ride My Road, and her involvement with the Epik Project to combat sex and human trafficking is truly motivational. I was unaware of the true nature and appearance of trafficking until now. The content of this episode was so profound that it left me unsettled for days after recording. This comes after discovering her background, her global journeys, and her harrowing experience of being abducted at gunpoint. This episode is definitely not one to miss.

PODcakes | Episode 17 | The Crash Debrief On Thursday, May 30, 2024, at approximately 09:23, on Oregon State Highway 78 near Mile Post 26, Papa Cakes and I were involved in a motorcycle crash that was by far the most violent experience of my life totaling both of our bikes. Overwhelmed by the tremendous support and numerous messages, I've found it challenging to keep up with all the responses. So, Critter, Papa Cakes, Shawn, and I gathered to share our perspectives on the accident and the aftermath that followed. We learned a great deal about the subsequent events, and I realized that my condition was more serious than I had initially thought. Critter and Shawn have been remarkable, offering assistance and care throughout the event and in the subsequent weeks. What I anticipated was a brief 30-45 minute PODcakes episode extended into 2 hours and 20 minutes. The details, stories, and facts that emerged were too significant to cut short. I am immensely grateful that we are all here today to discuss this unfortunate event. WARNING: This episode talks about a motorcycle accident in detail. This episode also contains foul language that may be unsuitable for a younger audience.

Unfortunately, I encountered a hard drive issue that corrupted all the video files for this episode. Despite a month of attempts to repair the video files and even consulting a professional, the problem remained unresolved. Consequently, I've decided to release this as an audio-only episode. Why? I could have invited Nathan to redo the session, but it wouldn't have captured the genuine reactions and the dynamic of our original conversation. I aim to keep this authentic and real. In this episode, I sit down with the formidable Nathan Fant. It was incredibly enjoyable learning about his rural upbringing, his musical journey, and his ultimate passion for motorcycles. So relax and savor this installment of PODcakes, 'Inside the Helmet'. PODcakes is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and of course on the Motorcycles and Pancakes YouTube Channel.

This marks the most authentic, exposed, and genuine version of myself after a long battle with depression that led to an attempted suicide. Constructing this video proved to be the most challenging endeavor I've ever undertaken. Delving into the depths of my emotions, it became a poignant struggle to revisit and relive the most arduous period of my life. Encountering my friend Chris, also known as Critter Moto, and witnessing his bravery in openly addressing his battle against depression, while becoming an advocate for men's mental health, inspired me to step forward. I realized it was time to reassure others that discussing struggles, depression, and thoughts of suicide is acceptable. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a display of strength. It's time to eradicate the stigma associated with the "Man Card" and acknowledge that therapy is an act of resilience. It is time for me to advocate for Men's Mental Health as well. Following the trail that Chris blazed for the world, men's mental health has become a cause close to my heart. Participating in the "Get lost...find yourself" Dual Sport Adventure Motorcycle Camp Out, a fundraising event for HeadsUPguys, a Canadian men's mental health organization, left an indelible mark on me. This extraordinary gathering raised nearly $4000 for HeadsUPGuys. In this video, I interweave footage from the event, along with vlogs and raw and vulnerable interview with myself, capturing the essence of this profound experience.

In the conclusion of Part 1, we delve into the formative years of Billy's life, tracing his journey from growing up in the Chicago area to developing a passion for basketball. His dedication to innovation and strong work ethic propelled him through a college career in journalism. This path led him to the pressbox, covering professional sports teams like the Bears and the Bulls, and hosting a college radio show named Practice Squad. Following a successful six-year stint at ESPN, Billy's enduring love for basketball persisted as he moved on to new endeavors. However, a shadow was cast over his life as he began experiencing alarming health issues related to his legs. The narrative left us on a suspenseful note, revealing a shocking twist: Billy had been diagnosed with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy known as Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. In Part 2, we accompany Billy on a distinctive journey where he discovers a creative method to not only raise awareness but also generate a substantial amount of funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. His innovative approach transforms him into a local celebrity within the Chicago area. Join me as we bring this tale of hope, inspiration, and unwavering determination to its conclusion - the remarkable story of Billy Zureikat. _______________________________________________________ Billy Socials: www.trippingbillyz.com Instagram: therealbillyz YouTube:  @therealbillyz  TikTok: therealbillyz_ ________________________________________________________ To donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association with Billy's Donor Drive. https://mda.donordrive.com/index.cfm fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=1391 _______________________________________________________ If you enjoyed this episode of PODcakes, please consider becoming a Patreon member today.
