Watch on YouTube Show Transcript Cheryl McColgan (00:00)Hey everyone, I’m Cheryl McColgan, founder of Carol Nourish Grow, and today I’m joined by Kiara Lux. Kiara and I met this year when I competed in the fit model competition in Kentucky and she had the same coach that I did and ended up doing the same show. And I just immediately loved this woman. So what I learned. about her journey and her health stuff I had to have her on. anyway, Kiara, welcome. If you could ⁓ just tell everyone a little bit about who you are and then we’ll get into some of your health journey. Because I think it’s really interesting and I think there’s a lot of things there that will help a lot of people. Kiara Loucks (00:35)Absolutely. First off, thank you so much for having me. I’m so honored to be here. My take on our meeting is very similar. I just fell in love with you from the second you texted me asking if I wanted sourdough. We had never met. You brought me sourdough. I was like, I don’t know her, but I love her. So yeah, I’ve had quite a wild journey. Health and fitness have been at the center of my journey. Cheryl McColgan (00:43)you Kiara Loucks (00:57)Really since I was young, I’ve been an athlete my whole life in different sports that have taken me all over the world and brought wonderful people like yourself into my life. Outside of professional athletics, I work in tech on my, like my nine to five, I work on Wall Street in paid media. And then I actually am now running an organization on the other side of that. with all of the spare time called her outdoor journey, which is really focused on bridging the gap for women and families in the back country. So whether it’s survival, holistic wellness, it’s really this concept of community and education to get women and families outside, which is now actually evolving into co-ed opportunities. So in a very, very high level nutshell, that is me. My fitness journey was, I’m sure we’ll dive into it, but. I don’t think you knew this, but I’m actually over 100 pounds down from my heaviest, so that was 11 years ago. Just, think, like most people, kind of gave up and had always wanted to compete, but it was a pipe dream that never had any real legs to it until it did. So really excited to dive in with you, and I’m just excited to be able to chat with you. You’re one of my favorite people. Cheryl McColgan (02:04)I know it’s been I wanted to catch up for so long. And we just like you’ve been traveling so much and doing really exciting work with the project that you mentioned, and we’ll get into that. But before we go into all that, and we go into the weight loss thing, because that is definitely a subject that people are on this podcast are interested in. But I have to have you tell people, you to kind of just glossed over that whole professional athlete thing, tell people what you what your sport is, because I think it’s so wild. Kiara Loucks (02:07)I know. Yeah, so I’m kind of in this purgatory season right now, so not actually professionally competing in anything, but I’ve been a professional rower. I’ve been a professional bobsledder for the US and Canada. I’ve been a bodybuilder, Olympic weightlifter. We’ve been all over the map. Yeah, and I’m kind of getting back into the endurance side of things right now. I’m not done with bodybuilding or Cheryl McColgan (02:43)That’s the one. Kiara Loucks (02:54)Bodybuilding isn’t done with me yet, but we’re on a little hiatus. As you know, it kind of takes over your whole life. And I’ve lived a season for the last decade where sports is my whole life. So I’m kind of just turning my brain on for a little bit and creating and doing other things. Cheryl McColgan (03:08)Yeah, and I think that’s, it’s an interesting mindset being an athlete for most of your whole life. So you said though, at some point you kind of gave up, can you share a little bit more about that? Was there an injury? Was there something that happened in your life where things just shifted for you? And how did that go? And then how did you get back to where you are now? Kiara Loucks (03:19)Thank you. Yeah, great question. You seem like the type that’s okay to go kind of deep and heavy off the rip because that’s just life. So I had actually signed a scholarship agreement with UC Santa Barbara to play softball ⁓ once I graduated high school. And my senior year in high school, I both broke my back quite literally to vertebrae on my back in a terrible sledding accident. And then I also endured a sexual assault. So I was raped my senior year in high school. And those two, I think combined, just put me in a place I didn’t know how to cope. And so I learned growing up that food is comfort. And when we hurt, we self-soothe. And I didn’t have the tools in my toolkit to do that in a healthy way. So I started partying a lot, started eating a lot. And honestly, by the grace of God, I walked onto campus to try to rush for a sorority. I missed. I missed rush, but I had walked by the rowing recruiter tent. And some young gal shouted at me. She was like, Hey, you have really big legs. Would you want to row? And I was like, simultaneously so offended and so flattered. I was like, let’s try it. And that opened this new avenue we’ve been on for the last decade. But prior to that, I just like, like I said, I had given up and food was really my reprieve. from life. Cheryl McColgan (04:47)And I think a lot of people will be able to relate to that. And I’m so sorry that you had to go through that experience. Although often some of the great tragedies in our life really end up shaping who we are. And I think that that is definitely one of the reasons that’s contributed to you, you know, being so successful and being able to overcome all that. So, but anyway, definitely a heavy subject and thank you for being willing to share that with people. So after all that happened, you wrote in college and then let’s fast forward to like just Kiara Loucks (04:59)Delicious. Agreed. Mm-hmm. Cheryl McColgan (05:16)before we met because you had some pretty crazy health things and things happening in your life right before you decided to compete. So I’d love it if you’d kind of share that journey. Kiara Loucks (05:27)Yeah, so like I alluded to bodybuilding was a dream of mine for the last 12 years like I saw someone do it and thought it was the coolest thing and Never thought it was a realistic opportunity for me and then fast-forward lots of things changed and Decided actually a year ago that I was gonna get into bodybuilding and got into it locally it went swimmingly like I just Found a lot of success very quickly But in an extremely unhealthy way working with a coach which bodybuilding is wrought with coaches who went pro and then think that they have the license to dictate someone else’s health. So went down that rabbit hole came out of we did four shows back to back to back to back. We blitzed last fall and did really well coming into the offseason after my last show in November of last year. Cheryl McColgan (06:12)a lot. Kiara Loucks (06:20)I was following my reverse diet to a T and was putting on weight extremely rapidly and Not only was it a mental Battle it was also physically feeling out of control of my body and on top of that I started bleeding Like non-stop started presenting pregnancy symptoms had no idea what was happening in my body had just kind of taken on its own life And so it was controlling all that I could At first they thought I had cervical cancer and so we went kind of through some rounds of testing for that and then coming back in January This was like a three-month saga coming back in January found out I was pregnant and Then they thought I was having a miscarriage because I was bleeding the entire time. So I was extremely anemic I was just exhausted. I couldn’t really do much and I Would not give up training like that was the only thing I really had was just training and trying to be present for the holidays and so After they thought I had a miscarriage, my HCG levels, which are the hormones present when you are pregnant, were actually going back up. And so it was end of January, or this year, that they found out I had an egg-topic pregnancy growing in my left ovary. And we were early enough that they had attempted to treat it with chemotherapy. So methotrexate is a chemotherapy procedure that they typically will try. before they go to surgery as an intervention in order to try to get the cells to kind of reabsorb into the body. It stops everything from turning over, which my goober brain decided to still train, still try to move through all of it, even if that was just walking on the treadmill for most days. So was extremely humbling. But through that, I had one round of chemo, which was just hell for lack of a better term. and then it ended up rupturing anyway. So by rupture, I mean I was internally bleeding, had come up with a fever in the midst of all of the chemo symptoms. So for those out there who are not privy to what that looks like, your body feels like it’s on fire. I couldn’t smile, I couldn’t chew, I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t cry. Everything from my head to my neck to my back would just seize. And so in the midst of that, I popped a fever. We went in and as we were walking into the ER, I was rupturing. And so they opened the OR middle of the night and had a surgical intervention for that. And then me being me, I needed something on the calendar. Maybe not the best way to cope, we’re learning, but I’ve always been someone that when I have something to shoot for, the in-between between here and there doesn’t really matter. We have a goal, we’re working towards something, we’re progressing, we’re… Controlling our environment for lack of better term as well. So put a show on the calendar and decided to find a new coach because like I mentioned, my previous coach was not health conscious at all. And so I found Adam who’s just a godsend and was able to actually reverse some of my endometriosis symptoms, certain things through protocol with supplementation and food. It was a miracle and we started prep while I still had chemo in my system. We were like hitting the ground running, let’s go. And that was beginning of February, March timeframe. And then we walked into the show that you and I met at, which was in Louisville. went well, not as well as I’d hoped, but it’s okay. It was still a blast and I met you. And then we did two shows right after that in Las Vegas and then in Chattanooga, Tennessee. So. Cheryl McColgan (09:57)and she’s leaving out that she won one of those shows, which I was not surprised because seeing you in person and now knowing everything that you went through leading up to that, mean, the amount of muscle that you have. Kiara Loucks (09:59)We did bring home Miss Nevada this year. I was very excited about that. Cheryl McColgan (10:17)is a testament to, I think something that people kind of lose sight of sometimes is that your muscle is a metabolic sink for a lot of things that it helps control your blood sugar. helps. It helps you survive times like what you went through. And I’m convinced that’s one reason my dad did so well with his cancer treatments over the years is because he was always really muscular. He was like Jack Lillane, basically my dad, he was like into that way before anyone else. So he’s never like huge, but he always was very concerned. He always lifted. And so I would say, you know, do you feel like both your mentality as someone that was into fitness helped you as well as the fact that you were already in such good shape to start with? Because I think you just, the outcomes are so much better if you have some muscle. Kiara Loucks (10:59)Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, I think twofold. The physical side of it, there’s research to support that muscle mass is an indicator of longevity and it’s also the best way to push off atrophy in the body as we age. So knowing that no matter what sport you’re doing, having lean muscle mass is going to always be a benefit. That’s kind of the first part and it allows your body to bounce back really quickly. Like you’re a lot more resistant to… whatever life throws at you, whether it’s disease or acute injury. And so that’s kind of the first side. And then the second side is the mental side. So when I, know, as someone who’s been an athlete my whole life was told I can’t do anything, let alone like I can’t even walk on a treadmill. Mentally, I just crumbled. But then you realize and you’ll get this too, no matter what sport you do, or just lifting in general for people that just go to the gym to stay healthy. It’s not easy and it hurts. Like you are training your body to deal with things that hurt knowing full well that you’re going to be better for it. And I think that was the privilege walking into my health situation last year was that mentality that I’m going to make it through this. It sucks and it really hurts. It’s not going to last forever. I guarantee it. And I’m going to be better on the other side of it, whether that’s mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or all of the above. We’re going to be OK. Cheryl McColgan (12:26)And how so how did you get from the point? Where I mean, to me, like putting something like that on the books is just. unbelievable. And then to see the shape that you showed up in, I mean, it was just unbelievable. So can you talk about your mental state during that time a little bit? Because I think there’s, you know, whether people are an athlete or not, I think there’s always something to be learned with mindset. And I think the more that you can share about maybe that part of that and how you, you know, seemingly made it through to the other side. I mean, nobody’s saying everything’s perfect all the time, but you still move through Kiara Loucks (12:39)Thank you. Thank you. Cheryl McColgan (13:04)life, you created these amazing goals, you are still working all this time. Talk a little bit about your mindset and how you, how do you overcome that hurdle like once you were on the chemo and doing all this really crazy health stuff. Kiara Loucks (13:17)That is such a good question. Yeah, I think when life really kicks her teeth in, it’s usually there to teach us something. And I hate to be the person that’s like, it always happens for a reason, because it doesn’t always. But being able to take a really poopy situation and make meaning of it and find that meaning while you’re walking through it is really the best way to endure it. So for me, I’ve always been an incredibly independent woman. I don’t need anyone. I don’t need help. and I never ask for help. And so my husband had just gotten out of the army. So we’re actually one year free as of two days ago on Veterans Day. And when he came back, we actually had a really hard time because I had kind of established this life where he was more of an accessory than a need. And I didn’t have an issue with that. In fact, when he got home, I reminded him that I didn’t need him. I want him. And know, like all of these pieces that I think the intention was pure, but this chapter, the health chapter we’re talking about really taught me that other people need to be needed in our lives sometimes. And allowing space for that, I didn’t have an option. So there was literally a week where my husband had to help me go to the bathroom. And I still remember when we were in the OR. We didn’t know we were going to go into surgery when we went into the ER and they basically threw a pack of ammonia wipes at us as they’re opening the OR because it was like you can die relatively quickly from internal bleeding. And so they threw this bag of ammonia wipes at us and it was such an intimate moment where they were like, all right, wipe yourself down like we’re going to go open the OR. We’ll be back. And my husband and I both took a wipe and we just started cleaning things off. like prepping for surgery. And I’m standing there like, I know you’re not a believer, but I’m just gonna pray over us and the situation and where we’re going. And that whole evolution taught me it’s okay to need other people. And people in our lives are often eager for those situations where they can step up for us when we’re the ones typically stepping up for everyone else. So mentally, it allowed a lot of intimate. relationships to just flourish in my life, both my husband, my family, who all stepped in for me. And through that, it was like this mental battle to be okay not being okay on a daily basis. And then as we put the show on the calendar, things are kind of turning around, things are getting better. Then it became this super cool ethos of Everyone’s gonna hear the high school musical theme. We’re all in it together. Like it was cool that we were all in the trenches together like great We all watched movies together. Everyone helped me. It was fantastic But now we’re on the come-up together and realizing how rich that come-up was with everyone in tow And so my husband was there in Louisville. He was there in Chattanooga for Nationals Like he’s texting me constantly when I’m at shows and he’s not there Cheryl McColgan (15:58)you Kiara Loucks (16:22)It brought us so much closer together and it made me realize that win, lose or draw, I’m a better person for being in this with the people that I love building something that’s inspirational for other people. Like the number of messages I had of people who, from people who had watched the whole health journey into the prep, into the shows, into doing very well in the shows, who reached out and said like, holy shit, I’m going to get off the couch and I’m going to do this because if you can do this, like I can do that. And so it’s realizing mentally, we don’t live for ourselves. Like the fullest life we can possibly aim to live is that for others. And bodybuilding is an incredibly selfish sport, but this whole evolution turned it around into this is for my family, this is with my family, this is for other people. And I will be extremely transparent about all of the highs and the lows and everything in between. So I don’t know if that answered your question, but yeah, it was a really cool turning point for me that has. completely transcended bodybuilding into my career, into my hobbies, into my passion projects on the side. So it’s been really cool. Cheryl McColgan (17:28)Yeah, and it’s been it’s been so fun to watch as people on the outside, like you said, you had so many people rooting for you and just following along with your journey. And, you know, I guess part of our time together was like we were at the show doing this and we were in separate divisions. And so we kind of had to stick to, I guess, you know, I don’t want to say surface level conversations, but we didn’t get a chance to really dive deep into some of this stuff. So it wasn’t until later afterwards where I was watching, you know, some of your Instagram stories and Kiara Loucks (17:42)Yes. Mm-hmm. Okay. Cheryl McColgan (17:58)of the comments that people were making about your health journey and all this stuff that I really was able to see, you know, just how much you would come through. so hearing this today kind of like puts all the pieces together and just makes the whole thing even just more amazing. And I think it’s really exciting now what you’re kind of turning that into because I have a feeling that all of this And you know, just recovering after a show people that haven’t done it. It’s, know, bodybuilding is not a healthy thing. Let’s be real lifting weights is healthy, but bodybuilding is a very extreme sport. You’re getting to an extreme level of leanness, which especially for women is really hard, like on your hormones on your body, everything. And, you know, I’ve certainly experienced that. I don’t know, aftermath, for lack of a better word. ⁓ Kiara Loucks (18:27)No. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yep. Cheryl McColgan (18:49)And it’s just a very interesting mental challenge afterwards as well as physical. And ⁓ so it wasn’t surprising to me that I saw after your show, you kind of turned to ⁓ this retreat that you ended up going on. so now I would love it if you’d share about that. Like what made you become aware of that? And is my sense right that you kind of just needed some like recharge alone time? I’d to hear just all about that, how that happened. Kiara Loucks (18:54)⁓ Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I love this. It’s like the most exciting thing in my life right now. So 100 % you’re correct. Once the show season was over, I just realized how much of my time had been spent in the gym, working, and then being a wife, being in the family. Like it’s just every day just trying to go. And one of my favorite things is spending time outside. Like I firmly believe that it is the closest place to the divine. It makes me happy. It gives me clarity. Like it is my favorite place to be. I live in Colorado. So I realized like a year went by that I hadn’t gone just to play outside with my dog. Like, okay, like I just need to get outside more. And I was feeling this void, which did you feel after the show too? It’s like this depression a little bit. Cheryl McColgan (19:45)Love it. a little bit. It’s kind of a, you know, I wish I would have done a better job documenting some of that stuff I kept meaning to, because it is just kind of a wild thing. But it never I guess, for part of it for me is because Kiara Loucks (20:11)Mm-hmm. Cheryl McColgan (20:16)I always knew that I would, you know, I’m still working, going to the gym five days a week and still just really trying to build my lean muscle for the purposes we were talking about, just making sure that I stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible and that I can lift myself off the toilet when I’m 80 years old and things like that, you know, if I’m lucky enough to make it to that age. ⁓ Kiara Loucks (20:30)Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. Exactly. Cheryl McColgan (20:39)So I guess in the back of my mind, it was like, well, this was an interesting process and stuff, but I was anxious to kind of get back to quote unquote normal life. Like what you’re talking about, like more time to spend time outdoors and more time to enjoy food and drinks with friends and not have to be so focused on every single bite you’re putting in your mouth. I don’t know, somehow I kind of, feel like I distracted myself from a little bit of that, but I… Kiara Loucks (20:48)normal yeah Exactly. Cheryl McColgan (21:06)I’ve read a lot of and heard a lot of other people’s stories that talk about that because this almost like well you you had these goals, the goal you got there basically. And then what you kind of go off the cliff, right? Yeah, I don’t know. I avoided that a little bit. I don’t know that sure how Kiara Loucks (21:15)Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so perfect. You know, I’m thrilled for you. did not. I just, I don’t know. Like I think if I had a body that could sustain it, which I don’t think anybody’s meant for it, I would compete all year long every year. Like I just love it so much. But when we finished nationals in Chattanooga, I just knew my body was asking for a break. Like there were just several signs that I needed to pump the, pump the breaks and chill. And so coming out of that, I realized I needed to be outside more and I just felt this void like. this one thing I’d been working for and felt meaning in, all these people invested in my story, it just was suddenly gone. And so I’m like, okay, I just need to go outside. And I had a dear girlfriend of mine actually come out and we went up to a cabin in the mountains and we were chatting and it like, I just don’t know what I’m chasing after. Like I always have something I’m chasing after and I feel like I’m missing it. And she was like, well, Kiara, you’ve been chasing outside. Like since you finished competing, all you’ve done is chase the mountains. And I’m like, well, no, no, no, like that’s just a medium. That’s a catalyst for me to find clarity. That’s not what I’m chasing. Yeah, that’s ridiculous. And sure enough, it is what I was chasing. And for the last several years, I’ve had on my vision board wanting to start a business to allow space and build a community for women to get out into the back country together. Because like all of the same things that you and I probably took away from bodybuilding, the confidence, the discipline, the community aspect, if you’re fortunate to have that, like Those are all things that I’ve found historically in the outdoors, but I think the value of the outdoors far outlasts and has much deeper lengths to it than bodybuilding. And so it’s been on my vision board for years to start a business that I can just take women outdoors and on these retreats and do cool things. And it was just another pipe dream, right? But God bless vision boards and always coming back to like ourselves and where we find meaning and purpose. And so just by happenstance, this opportunity dropped into my lap in August. So my last show of the year was middle of June, went outside a bunch, kind of just got my head screwed on a little bit for the rest of June and July. And then this opportunity dropped in my lap to go to Montana with a group called Her Outdoor Journey in August. And it was gonna be their summit, which means they were doing everything from Butchery to survival to fieldcraft to foraging to defensive shooting to Glassing which is basically understanding how to scope the side of a hill and look for animals They were doing all of this in one event. I was like alright cool I will help you guys out in trade just to go check this out because it seems kind of rad and I on a whim didn’t know anyone got in the car drove up to Montana like 12 hours And I show up and this week completely changed my life. mean, I’ve never been around a group of 20 plus women and there’s no drama, no clicks, people wanting to help, people wanting to serve, everyone having a blast. Like, and not only that, it was the skill sets that we were handed, like the education and the content. was like, I need more of this and I need to share this with as many people as I can. Like, how can I get more in the weeds on this? So I sat down with Courtney Pridi, who is the founder of her outdoor journey. And we just kind of started dreaming up how we could work together and she needed me. I needed her. Like it was this extremely serendipitous, miraculous meeting of two people who desperately needed each other. And her and I since then have walked hand in hand, just blowing the lid off of this thing. So we have like over 15 events next year, all across the continental US, Alaska and Hawaii. We’re also looking at Canada. But our mission really is to teach and empower women and get them outside. And it’s like this beautiful thing that happens when you’re learning and you’re vulnerable, when you’re outside, like all of these perfect elements that bring out the most beautiful side of people. And that’s the part that I love is nurturing these women, these people, these families, seeing how we can impact as many women and families as we can. So. Yeah, long story short, it has been the coolest thing I have found and I also fell in love with butchery out of that. So have kind of been on this whirlwind of working with feedlots and local ranchers and processing plants, understanding truly what is it that we’re eating. So going back to health and wellness, we just talked about bodybuilding is not a healthy sport. And so when you’re given a certain set macros for the day, you’ll eat trash as long as it fills those macros and you’re enjoying it. When Cheryl McColgan (26:02)Thank Kiara Loucks (26:04)Much like you, I got into this because I fell in love with taking care of myself. And so I had completely gone off path. And when I found this, it was like, ⁓ I can literally make an entire meal for me and my family off of literally just what exists out here in the back country. Understanding the seasonings, the foods that we are given naturally growing in the mountains or wherever. What Google reactions. ⁓ she is. But yeah, ⁓ so it’s just Cheryl McColgan (26:31)you Kiara Loucks (26:33)this really cool journey that’s now evolved into the butchery side of things and long tail like I would love one day to open my own high end butcher shop and do high end steak dinners for people that they get to pick right out of the case supporting local agriculture, which is a dying breed in our country right now. So bringing awareness to those things, bringing people along for the ride. I have no idea what we’re going to do with all of this, but I’m just so happy. Like I’m just right where I feel like I need to be. Cheryl McColgan (27:02)Yeah, watching some of your stories when you were on that retreat, I felt the same way. I was just so happy for you because I could just tell you were enjoying it so much and you’re in your element. And it did not surprise me afterwards that you’re like, I’m going to be a butcher. I mean, you’re crazy. I’ll get on to something. I’m just like, Oh, well, this is now this is my thing, you know, which is amazing. So so people are hearing this and they’re like, Okay, that sounds really cool. I would love to, you know, spend some time with other women out Kiara Loucks (27:10)Hmm. No! Yeah, exactly. Okay. Cheryl McColgan (27:31)doors, do all the things. And also though, I can see how maybe some people like there probably will be some people to be like, okay, I like a lot of that, but I’m not into the hunting or I like a lot of that, but I don’t know that I want to chop up a deer and skin a deer on this retreat. Tell us how that works. Kiara Loucks (27:40)What? yeah, very fair. Not expected, not expected at all. So we actually offer a whole host of opportunities for people to get on trips with us. One of the events I’m looking forward to the most is actually an adventure retreat up in Alaska. So we are literally gonna go jet ski in the glacier, ride horses, ATV, spa day. Like it is an adventure retreat. There is no hunting, there are no guns. There’s no butchery. There’s no nothing that should really kind of raise flags for some people. Knowing that, everyone has different thresholds. So if you come on any of our trips and you’re like, this part is not for me. So for example, the event that I was just talking about back in August, the defensive shooting, we had women that didn’t feel comfortable being on a range with other women who had never shot a gun. Great. They went out and had their own like they went for a hike. They read their books. They went and hung out. There’s so much freedom and liberty to do whatever you’re comfortable with. Our mission is to serve you and make sure you’re walking away with what you intended to get out of an event. So whether that’s rest and recovery, a little adventure, learning skills or trades, we do it all. And there’s never any judgment when you decide something isn’t for you. Cheryl McColgan (29:01)can you share the website and where they can find out information about the trips and do you know off the top of your head like when the next one is? Because this episode will come out fairly soon here. Kiara Loucks (29:09)Yes, absolutely. Yeah, so our next one coming up is actually our first winter retreat in Yellowstone. So you can find out more at heroutdorjourney.com or on Instagram at heroutdorjourney. And we’re actually just launching all of our events for next year. So take a look. We actually have everything from, like I said, the adventure retreats to archery, long range shooting, you name it. We got it. And we also have payment plans. So knowing that some of these are maybe a little bit more expensive, we do have payment plans and we also have gift cards. So knowing the holidays are coming up, if you want to gift some special lady in your life the time of her life and change her world forever, we are your people. So give us a shout. Cheryl McColgan (29:52)Awesome. And on top of that, where can people connect with you personally and kind of follow along with your journey? ⁓ You post somewhat frequently Instagram, but I don’t know if you have any other socials that you want to share. Kiara Loucks (30:03)Yeah, yeah, no, Instagram is the best. As I’m kind of defining this new chapter of my life, I’ve tried to be a little more conscientious about what I’m posting and how I’m presenting to the world. So we’re gonna get back in the saddle here pretty soon with more consistent posts and all sorts of exciting stuff going on in the world. But yeah, follow along at at Chiara.Lowx. Yeah, at Chiara.Lowx. My brain is halfway here. Yeah, there you go. Cheryl McColgan (30:25)One, I’ll have it in the show notes as well if for some reason you can’t find her. Well, Kiara, it’s been so wonderful catching up with you again today and ⁓ sharing more of your journey that I was not aware of. And I’m really excited for everything that’s going to happen next. And I will be following along to see what amazing things you do from here. Kiara Loucks (30:43)thank you. And thank you again for having me on. You’re just one of my favorite people, even though we haven’t spent a ton of time together, obviously. But sourdough, you won my heart forever. So thank you. Cheryl McColgan (30:53)It’s my love language. All right, take care and we’ll see you again next time. Kiara Loucks (30:55)I’m here for it. Sounds good. Thank you.

This week I'm back in Pennsylvania and analyzing Bigfoot sightings in Butler County! Many of my listeners have told me about Butler and the great Bigfoot habitat there, and I found some really interesting encounters! A man camping with Boy Scouts at Muskrat Cove hears wood knocks that seem to be communicating; a fisherman is spooked by tree knocks and rock clacks coming from shore; campers hear something near their campfire and see a Bigfoot with glowing red eyes; a driver witnesses a late-night road crossing as Sasquatch walks calmly in front of the car; a biker sees a hairy, bipedal creature; two hunters encounter Sasquatch drinking from a creek; and two men on ATV run into a Bigfoot that roared and threw rocks at them. Bigfoot definitely seems to be stalking the residents of Butler County!Chapters:1:52 - Butler County, Bigfoot, and the Brooklyn Bridge3:47 - A man camping at Moraine State Park hears wood knocks9:56 - A fisherman on Lake Arthur hears strange sounds in the woods15:37 - Campers sitting around a campfire see Bigfoot watching them 22:06 - A driver has a roadside Bigfoot encounter29:24 - Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society map and stories30:24 - A biker sees Bigfoot on Cornplater Road in Cabot, Pennsylvania31:23 - Two hunters observe Bigfoot drinking water and sniffing the air32:29 - Two men on ATVs have rocks thrown at them by a tall, hairy creature34:20 - Final Thoughts on Butler County Bigfoot#bigfoot #pennsylvania #cryptids Links!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : jason@oddanduntold.comBigfoot Sightings in Pennsylvania | Clearfield CountyBigfoot Sightings in Pennsylvania | Erie CountyBigfoot Sightings in Pennsylvania: Lycoming CountyMelissa's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondtheunveiled11BFRO Sightings in Butler County: https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_county_reports.asp?state=PA&county=ButlerPennsylvania Bigfoot Society: https://www.pabigfoot.com/archived-sightings.html?utm_source=chatgpt.comCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/

What happens when a viral app asks you to think of “death,” “scared,” or “answers” and then sends you to a random point on the map? We take a clear-eyed tour through Randonautica's strangest stories—EVPs in bright daylight, a rusted car on an ATV trail, a roadside fence lined with burnt dolls, and the headline-grabbing Seattle suitcase case—while asking whether intention steers chance or chance fills in our intentions.We break down what the app claims to do, how users set intentions, and why vague prompts can turn ordinary spaces into ominous ones. You'll hear how urban explorers landed at an abandoned house and met the police, why a couple's “scared” prompt ended with a white Mustang following them, and how a simple word like “orange” pointed to traffic cones. Along the way, we separate plausible coincidences from obvious fakes, explore how social media rewards the most extreme narratives, and consider the psychology that makes pattern recognition feel supernatural when fear is high and expectations are set.This isn't just a reel of shock stories. We talk risk, ethics, and practical safety: go in daylight, bring friends, avoid private property, and choose neutral or positive intentions if you're going to try it at all. Curiosity has value, but it also needs boundaries—especially when “random” routes can drop you into real danger or legal trouble. If you've ever wondered whether an app can bend fate, or whether we're just very good at finding meaning in the margins, this conversation will give you a grounded framework to think about both.If you enjoy thoughtful, spooky explorations with real-world takeaways, follow the show, share this episode with a curious friend, and leave a review to tell us what intention you'd set next. Stay ghosty, my peeps!Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.

At 37 years old, Simon reflects on his progress and accomplishments in the ATV industry but makes it clear he's far from finished. He's planning to go all in over the next two to three years to see just how far he can push himself.Looking at past champions who've won into their late forties, Simon believes there's still plenty of opportunity to compete at a high level for years to come. With a newborn at home, however, he's experiencing firsthand how age, recovery, and reduced sleep impact performance forcing him to train smarter, prepare better, and take even greater care of his body as he continues chasing his goals.Subscribe for more episodes.

Co-Hosts Amy Van Dyken-Rouen and Kirk Nurmi Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our mindset plays a very intricate part in our day to day life. Having a positive mindset can redirect everything negative that happens in our lives. It's not what happens to us but what we do with it that makes all the difference. Amy Van Dyken-Rouen is a six-time Olympic gold medalist, and has spent a lifetime defying the odds. She took up swimming to beat her childhood asthma and In the 1996 games, she broke records and made history for becoming the first American woman to earn four gold medals in a single Olympics. In June 2014 , a freak ATV accident altered her life and left her paralyzed from the waist down. She also suffered broken ribs, a head injury, and a severe vascular injury. Her prognosis was anything but good as one doctor told her to say goodbye to her husband before going into surgery because they weren't sure they could save her. As any warrior does, Amy fought her way back and now has become an outspoken advocate for those who have suffered spinal cord injuries and those who are disabled. She once said that she wants to be known as a woman who did things that have never been done before, breaking barriers, hopefully making it more human to be a disabled person. Join us as we talk about Amy's journey, go off on tangents and have a fun time just conversing about life. #determination #perseverance #humanspirit #humanwill #happiness #kindness #livingyourbestlife #goldmedal #swimming #motivation #teamusa #champion #mindfullness #positivity #olympics #olympicgames #athlete #mentalhealth #awareness #selflove #selfcare #sheddingyourskin #beingyourtrueself #loveofself #nolimitations #perception #dowhatmakesyouhappy #livingwithiuntention #THECOLLECTIVE #GetRealWithRobin #KirkNurmi #AmyVanDykenRouen

Bill Spivey December 19, 1949 — February 15, 2026Bill Spivey of Lorena, Texas, fondly known as “Uncle Bill” – and lovingly called Papa by his grandchildren – passed away peacefully surrounded by family the evening of Sunday, February 15, 2026, in Waco, Texas, at the age of 76. Born on December 19, 1949, in Waco, Texas, Bill was and will forever be cherished and be a significant part of all the lives who knew him. He lived a devoted life to his family and close friends and was willing to help anyone in need. Bill was a hard worker, determined to provide for his family to give them a better life than he had. A loving brother, uncle, husband, father, grandfather, friend, leader in the surrounding communities and beyond, and will be greatly missed by so many.He was the seventh oldest of eight children of Ivers Patterson Spivey II and Ethel Wayne Haley. He grew up on a dairy farm in East Waco until he had to transfer from La Vega to Lorena schools in junior high to work cattle off Chapel Road in Lorena for the family. He moved back to the dairy farm to milk cows in the ninth grade and started to play football for La Vega. A broken leg ended his football season in ninth grade, but he continued to play until his senior year when he had to stop to take care of his father and family farms. He and the love of his life, Debbie, graduated from La Vega and Bill served as senior class president for the class of 1968. Bill and Debra Kay Rager were married on October 24, 1969, and have shared over 56 years of marriage. They have known each other since the first grade at La Vega. Together they have organized and hosted numerous class of 1968 reunions and have stayed in close contact and shared many memories with about 40% of their graduating class.After high school, Bill began his jack-of-all trades journey, learning from mentors in the equipment and construction businesses of Waco, Texas. He attended MCC for a couple of years while working at the Consumers Oil and Gas station. Soon after he went to work for Dick Richards owner of Richards Equipment for whom he would drive for and assist in the business. Mr. Richards taught Bill all about tools, how to operate equipment and play with dynamite per Debbie, which she found in her car where Bill had placed it for a time without telling her. He moved on to work for General Tire and later went to work for Texas Fine Magnetics. After the birth of their daughter, Christy, and son, Joshua, Bill and Debbie moved from Watt Street in Waco to Windy Lane in Lorena in 1979 where Bill continued to develop his skills and started Spivey's Welding Service around 1980 and later incorporated in 1982.While Bill and Debbie worked on their business and careers, they were significant in raising not only their own family but also the neighborhood kids at the top of Brandy Hill on Windy Lane in Lorena. All the neighborhood kids loved and adored playing with the Spivey family and all looked out for each other. So many memories of birthday parties, hayrides, riding four wheelers, killing rattle snakes, and chasing dogs, and eventually raising cattle. The Lorena class of 1990 (for Christy) and 1993 (for Joshua) will forever have fond memories of Bill and Debbie for all that they shared and did for them in their lives.Bill had many hobbies – gun and knife collecting, photography, motorcycle riding, deer hunting, bow hunting, fishing, boating on many area lakes, pool parties, cattle ranching, smoking briskets, hosting family and high school reunions, eating ice cream and popcorn with pups and grandchildren, but most of all he loved mowing his place and riding in his big green John Deer tractor bailing hay for his beloved cattle, horses, and donkeys. He loved showing everyone, especially the grandchildren, his beloved cattle. Many were bottle-fed and raised and would follow him on the ATV around the pastures like puppies. He was an awesome protector of his family and cattle and hunted and shot many coyotes on the farm. We all shared beautiful sunsets visiting all that he had developed on his farm in Moody, Texas in the mid-to-late ‘90s. We'll never be able to count just how many people he has taught about gun safety, shooting, and driving various vehicles in those blessed pastures.Spivey's Welding Service, Inc. has traveled all over the U.S.A. and the following are major projects that Bill's business and right-hand man, Joe Hurst, and many other amazing employees have accomplished: Went to Victorville, California in the ‘80s and built concrete tilt wall storage facilities; built Harley Davidson facilities in Waco, Grand Prairie, Forth Worth, Euless / Bedford, Texas; Lock Joint Tube (LJT) industrial facility in Temple, Texas; built a new facility for West, Texas EMS and later rebuilt it again after the West fertilizer plant explosion and was later recognized by West EMS for his construction work; built numerous fire stations, convenience stores including fuel tank installations, industrial buildings, ranch facilities, homes, and has helped clean up environmental spills under his Petro Containment Services, Inc. business. Bill worked extensively with the Texas Water Commission board in 1989 and made recommendations for the development of regulations to be issued by the water commission for cleaning up old fuel tanks. He later served as the Elm Creek representative for Moody, Texas for the Bluebonnet Water board. After 45 years, Bill's health declined and Spivey's Welding Service, Inc. was retired in 2023. Bill was self-taught in AutoCad design and designed many drawings and worked with certified engineers to help make his passion for construction a reality and successful business.

Talking about thin ice and snow storms on the show today. The photo is from the Vernon County Sheriff's Office from the Stoddard landing where an ATV went through the ice. Fortunately, the two men on it were OK. Plus a pickup went through the ice on Lake Onalaska as well. The driver, too, was safe. Plus, dealing with the new snow covering up the thin ice makes for challenges getting out onto the ice this time of year. A good reminder to be careful when heading out.

Have you ever wondered if you could get paid for something you already enjoy doing?In this video, I break down real examples of hobbies that the U.S. federal government is actively spending millions of dollars on every year. Most people think government contracting is only about defense systems, IT, or construction. The reality is very different. The federal government is the single largest buyer of goods and services in the world, and that includes areas most people would never expect.We're talking about government contracts tied to yoga instruction and wellness programs, ATV and off-road vehicle training, 3D printing and additive manufacturing, foreign language translation and interpretation, and even professional dog training services. These are not edge cases. These are recurring federal spending categories that create real opportunities for small businesses, consultants, and professionals who understand how federal procurement works.00:00 Can You Get Paid for Your Hobby?

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 4 is here! The California Desert - San Bernardino To Needles Super Bowl and Weather Insights Randy and Bubba discussed the weather in different regions, with Randy noting mild temperatures during his trip despite concerns about winter weather. They shared thoughts on the recent Super Bowl, with Bubba and Randy agreeing that the game was defensively focused and not particularly exciting, while Randy expressed pride as a Rams fan despite the team's loss. They also commented on Super Bowl commercials, with Bubba praising an ad by Anthropic that humorously depicted potential future AI ads, while both agreed that many commercials seemed less impactful than in years past due to high expectations and expensive production costs. Political Sensitivities in Classic Comedies Bubba and Randy discussed the challenges of making classic comedies like "Blazing Saddles" and "Tropic Thunder" today due to political sensitivities. They reflected on how everything seems to have become political, including events like the Super Bowl halftime show, which they miss from the "good old days." Randy shared his perspective on nostalgia, attributing it to aging and a tendency to look back fondly on childhood. They also discussed Randy's extensive documentation of his Route 66 journey, with over 10,000 pictures taken, though only about 40 are shared per post. Route 66's California Transformation The discussion focused on Route 66 in California, whereRandyshared insights about the route's history and current state. He explained that California decommissioned Route 66 in 1965, converting it to County 66, and noted the varying conditions of the road through different regions. Randy highlighted Rancho Cucamonga's efforts to preserve and commemorate Route 66, contrasting it with areas like Fontana and San Bernardino, which have seen decline and transformation into areas with pawn shops, dispensaries, and vacant lots. He also mentioned visiting a Route 66-themed store called Man Cave Collectibles in Fontana. Route 66 Business Threatened Ruby interviewed Grumpy, the owner of Man Cave Collectibles in Fontana, a Route 66 landmark built in 1940. Grumpy expressed concern about the city's plan to widen the street and create a truck lane, which could threaten his business's survival. Ruby shared Grumpy's story and discussed the broader impact of progress on historical Route 66 businesses, noting the decline of smaller towns along the route. Bubba suggested adding a link to Man Cave Collectibles when posting the podcast. Route 66: California's Historical Challenges The discussion focused on Route 66, particularly in California, where they discussed the challenges faced by San Bernardino County due to its large size and limited tax base. They explored the historical significance of Route 66, including the first McDonald's location in San Bernardino, which has been turned into a museum. The conversation also covered the route's alignment with the Cajon Pass and its transition to Interstate 15, with a focus on driving the original road using frontage roads to avoid modern highways. Route 66: Desert Scenery and Ghost Towns The discussion focused on a road trip along Route 66, from Victorville to Barstow. The speaker described the desolate but scenic route, passing through several small towns including ghost towns and a unique attraction called Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch. They noted that while the area was once bustling during Route 66's heyday in the 1950s, it is now largely deserted, with only a few businesses remaining open. The speaker emphasized the peaceful driving conditions, with minimal traffic and the ability to stop freely along the road. Route 66's Decline and Revival Randy and Bubba discussed the historical Route 66, focusing on the section between Barstow and Needles, California. They talked about the decline of towns along this route due to the shift from steam to diesel trains and the construction of Interstate 40. Randy shared stories about ghost towns and abandoned gas stations, mentioning the Baghdad Cafe and its connection to a German movie. They also discussed the challenges of revitalizing old gas stations and the presence of a well-maintained house in the midst of a ghost town. Route 66 Ghost Encounter Bubba and Randy discussed a mysterious encounter on Route 66 where Randy saw a woman dressed in period clothing pushing a stroller in the middle of the desert. They debated whether the woman was a ghost, noting that she moved out of the road when she heard Randy's van. Randy planned to ask Beth about any known ghost sightings on Route 66, and they also discussed how to identify the correct route by looking for train tracks and power poles. Amboy Motel's Revival and History Randy and Bubba discussed the desolation of Ludlow, a town near Interstate 40, despite its proximity to the highway. They noted the lack of major chain businesses and the decline of Roy's Motel in Amboy, which was revitalized after changing ownership. Randy shared details about the motel's neon sign and its appearance in a Rose Parade segment. They also mentioned an unexpected encounter with a plane landing on a road near the motel, which turned out to be at a historic airstrip in Amboy. Route 66's Forgotten Towns The discussion focused on the history and significance of Amboy, a town in the Mojave Desert that gained fame as a stop on Route 66 before being bypassed in 1931 when the highway was realigned. The conversation revealed that Goff's, a town that was briefly on the original Route 66 from 1926 to 1931, became a ghost town after being bypassed and is now inaccessible due to road conditions. The speakers noted that while Amboy has maintained its celebrity status as a filming location for music videos and movies, the original Route 66 alignment through Goff's is now a forgotten road that cannot be driven. Route 66 Mojave Desert Adventures Bubba and Randy discussed their Route 66 road trip experiences, focusing on the Mojave Desert and Needles, California. Randy shared details about a non-profit ghost town in the Mojave Desert and highlighted the abandoned sections of Route 66 in Needles, suggesting potential business opportunities for ATV rentals. They also discussed the historical significance of the area and recommended a three-day itinerary for travelers, emphasizing the importance of planning stops in places like Kingman, Arizona. Route 66 Exploration Plans Randy and Bubba discussed their upcoming exploration of Route 66, focusing on the longest contiguous stretch in California, which spans 348 miles and takes about 7 hours to drive. Randy shared his experiences visiting historical sites along the route, including Calico Ghost Town and a desert art museum near Amboy, emphasizing the importance of taking time to appreciate the history and stories behind the abandoned places. They also talked about the growing popularity of their Facebook page, which now has 21,000 followers, and Bubba mentioned their plans to start exploring Arizona next week, which covers a vast 400 miles.

Gov. Josh Shapiro on Tuesday unveiled a 53-billion-dollar state budget for the fiscal year that begins July first, the final budget proposal of Shapiro's term. Under the governor's plan, the spending gap would be made up by tapping into the state's rainy-day fund. Increasing public school funding is the big ticket item in the governor’s budget. But it’s not the only school policy he has in mind. Republicans in the state Senate say that Governor Josh Shapiro’s budget proposal would threaten Pennsylvania’s financial future if enacted. Republican Congressman Lloyd Smucker of Lancaster and York counties is suing Lancaster’s main newspaper. A Dauphin County judge dismissed Harrisburg mayor Wanda Williams' lawsuit over this year's budget, ruling that City Council was acting within its power when it defunded four positions within the mayor's administration. Pennsylvania State Police announce they're upgrading their vehicles with some of the latest technology. Those improvements include distinctive V-shaped light bars that provide full 360-degree illumination during traffic stops - and turn into arrow boards for traffic control - or floodlights for dark, hazardous conditions. Pennsylvania is expanding and improving its all-terrain vehicle trails and facilities across the state. The state's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announces it's awarding $1.4 million in grants for ATV projects in five counties in western PA and the Pennsylvania Wilds region. One of our region's high school athletic conferences has a new name. The York Adams Interscholastic Athletic Association - the YAIAA - voted to change its name to the South Central Athletic Conference, or SCAC.

Las buenas ventas de los iPhone , 7 de los 10 más vendidos de 2025 y el constante crecimiento de los servicios, han provocado un trimestre con cifras que harán muy felices a los inversores.Dejando estos números, debatiremos sobre otros igual o más interesantes porque Apple ha sacado la cartera y ha adquirido por 2000 millones la empresa Q AI. Esta empresa israelí de inteligencia artificial viene a solucionar las carencias de Cupertino.

Amadeus takes us through the Tidy Trax origin story properly this time: the Hit the Decks albums, the handshake deal that launched everything, and why sometimes the best business moves happen when you're just trying to help a mate out.There's a proper detour into wedding DJing (Amadeus has got opinions), stories about turning up to gigs dressed as a doctor with his wife as a nurse, and the moment he realized he'd gone from making tracks in his bedroom to running a business with 40-odd staff. The conversation wanders through sampling culture, remixing everything, and why nothing's truly original - from disco to hip hop to hard house to the ATV logo. It's not a linear career journey; it's more like watching someone accidentally stumble into their life's work and then double down on it.By the end, we're talking AI, Paul McCartney getting paid for robot Rihanna tracks, and why you can't build a wall to stop a train.

Remember when we were growing up and we'd hear things like “Better calm down, you're gonna give yourself an ulcer!” It was thought back then that stress and spicy food caused ulcers.Around 1979, Dr. Robin Warren and Barry Marshall started noticing these spiral-shaped bacteria while doing stomach biopsies of patients with gastritis.Then a crazy thing happened: The Easter Breakthrough.In 1982, a lab technician accidentally left their samples in the incubator for five days over the Easter holiday instead of the two-day standard at the time. This mistake allowed enough time for the H. pylori colonies to grow and appear.By 1983, Marshall had isolated the bacteria and found that it was present in 100% of the patients they tested who had ulcers. They had discovered the cause of ulcers.They presented their findings at a conference in Brussels. Their hope was that they had discovered a cure for an extremely painful disease that sentenced patients to a lifetime of eating bland foods and antacid pills.Marshall presented his findings at the conference in Brussels and the crowd celebrated his massive accomplishment. He received a standing ovation, he was Time's Person of the Year, millions of patients around the globe were cured, and Marshall was celebrated as a hero.Wait, I'm sorry, I got that wrong.The medical community viciously attacked him, saying that he was a “young nobody from Perth” who had no reputation, and senior doctors even called his theory “reckless and preposterous.” They said the stomach is a sterile environment and that no bacteria could survive in that acidic environment.Another group within the medical establishment believed that almost all diseases were “repressed emotional responses.” They said: “The critical factor in the development of ulcers is the frustration associated with the wish to receive love.”They literally thought ulcers were caused by people not getting enough love.Marshall was devastated, frustrated, and a bit angry that no one was listening to him, looking at the evidence, or—more importantly—helping the patients.Marshall attempted to perform studies to prove his theory, but the medical establishment kept throwing up roadblocks. In order to run a human test, he had to reproduce the results in animals first, but that didn't work in this case.So what did he do? He tested it on the “only ethical subject”: himself.In 1984, Marshall took the bacteria from an infected patient and drank it himself!After three days, he developed nausea and halitosis (extreme bad breath) because the bacteria neutralized his stomach acid. By day eight, an endoscopy showed massive stomach inflammation and colonies of the bacteria H. pylori.By day 10, the endoscopy found a raw, red, inflamed stomach lining. By day 14, Marshall began to fear for his health and started a therapy of antibiotics and bismuth.Marshall had just proven that H. pylori caused gastritis, and gastritis eventually causes ulcers.But even after the experiment, the medical establishment wouldn't surrender or change course!In 1985, he successfully published his self-experiment in the Medical Journal of Australia. But it was largely ignored.For a decade, ulcer victims had started talking about an “underground cure” called “the Marshall Treatment.” This was basically antibiotics.It wasn't for another full decade (1994) until the National Institutes of Health officially stated that most ulcers were caused by H. pylori and should be treated with antibiotics.This change effectively killed the billion-dollar market for long-term antacid maintenance, which Marshall later called “the ultimate satisfaction.”And it wasn't for another decade until Marshall received the Nobel Prize in 2005.Today, about half of the decline in stomach cancer is attributed to Marshall's discovery.Marshall's discovery was ignored for a decade. What was the impact of that? Let's look at some numbers.At that time, about 700,000 people died from stomach cancer per year. Let's say just a modest 25% of those could be saved by Marshall's solution of “Screen and Treat” with antibiotics.That means that at least 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 people may have been saved if Marshall's discovery had been recognized earlier.Thankfully, in 2005, Marshall and his colleague Robin Warren were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.Because of Marshall and Warren's work, the World Health Organization (WHO) now classifies H. pylori as a carcinogen. This discovery also sparked the first “antibiotic cure” for a cancer. A rare type of stomach tumor called MALT lymphoma can often be completely cured just by taking antibiotics to kill the bacteria.I love this story because it's a perfect case study in how the “experts” can be dead wrong for decades. It's a classic case of “appeal to authority,” where “experts” dismissed the correct answer, not because of fundamental truth, but only because Marshall was not a part of their Tribe. He wasn't an “expert”. It's a reminder that people that change the world and make massive discoveries are often considered heretics, stupid, evil, or worse. The establishment chose to believe ulcers were caused by a “lack of love” rather than a bacteria because their dogma was profitable and comfortable. It is another reminder that the system isn't built to find the truth. It is built to protect itself and if you want to do something great or different, it could take you decades of being called a monster before anyone ever believes you. Just ask Alan Turing or Galileo. I'm very sorry for the lack of updates lately. Santa brought our 7 year old a ATV 4-wheeler for Christmas and I flipped it and broke 3 ribs. I'm recovering now but it was a rough patch there.

On this week's all-new episode of the Digging Deep ATVMX Podcast, we're honored to welcome back one of the most dominant athletes our sport has ever seen — four-time WMX ATV Motocross National Champion Kinsey Osborn.Entering the 2025 season with three straight titles, back-to-back perfect seasons, and a 45-moto win streak, Kinsey faced the toughest challenge of her career. A disastrous opening round, unprecedented pressure, and the arrival of elite international competition turned the season into an all-time battle. What followed was a championship-worthy comeback, capped by a clutch four-moto win streak to secure yet another title against the strongest competition she had faced during her championship run.Then, in a moment that stunned the ATV racing world, Kinsey announced her retirement while standing on top — undefeated in WMX championships and just a college sophomore. In this powerful, reflective conversation, Kinsey opens up about the pressure, the comeback, the decision to walk away, and what life looks like beyond racing.This is a rare, honest discussion that could only happen now — and a fitting chapter-close for a GOAT-level career. We're incredibly grateful to Kinsey for her time, trust, and continued support of Digging Deep.As always, thank you for DIGGING DEEP with us. Enjoy!Send us a textSupport the show

Man! Chukar hunting in Nevada is a WILD adventure! Sure, the bird numbers arent what they were last year but they are still pretty good! On this weeks episode I am joined by two of my most adventurous hunting buddies, Dom Watts and Brent Kroll. Dom is a New Mexico native that lives in Alaska. He is a sheep hunting and bird hunting addict and is always down for an adventure in a new place. Brent is a NAVHDA judge and hard core wild bird hunter. He spends most of his year in the forests of Michigan chasing ruffed grouse, but really wanted to get out of the woods and do some climbing for his first wild chukar hunt. We discuss our hunts while in Nevada. Huns, Valley Quail, and Chukar. We also talk about sheep hunting, back country ATV riding, and even archery hunting for Musk Ox in Alaska. This is part one of the 2025 Nevada Trip. Stay tuned for part two with Ryan and Jace Newmarker and Todd (last name unknown)
In this episode of Spirit Connection, Doug Addison is answering Partner questions, giving strategies for prayer and interpreting a dream. Tune in for this unique discussion—Needed: A Tree of Life, an ATV and a Prayer Strategy! A Tree of Life is found in Genesis and we don’t see it again until Revelation 22. Think about the tree in the Garden of Eden, which deepens its roots down into the Lord. So, a tree of life would be the connection with the Lord, getting your roots down. In other words, it’s no longer in the barren land. It’s no longer in the wilderness. It’s really just talking about getting your roots down in the Lord and operating under the Spirit of Truth. I don’t really have a specific prayer strategy right now. I pray, take communion and decree Bible verses, as the Lord begins to show them to me, for the restoration of health and finances. The Lord is doing something new; press in for repayment of everything. I think the most powerful thing right now is to bring everything under the Lord.
