Send us Fan MailJeff Knoll joins Big Rich to share the winding path that took him from a childhood spent riding motorcycles and dune buggies in Southern California to becoming a major figure in off-road racing and land-use advocacy.Jeff reflects on growing up in Menifee and Glamis, his early experiences at the Boardmanville Trading Post, working through school, starting a family young, and overcoming periods of homelessness. He explains how plumbing, Jeep clubs, rock crawling, and desert racing eventually led to the creation of the California Rock Crawling Association and the early days of King of the Hammers.The conversation explores the vision behind King of the Hammers, its first competitors, the importance of media and storytelling, and Jeff's decision to leave the event as it grew. Jeff also discusses the personal cost of the Save the Hammers campaign, which helped establish Johnson Valley's first congressionally designated OHV area.Additional topics include Rally Venture, public-land permitting, the challenges facing motorized recreation advocacy, and Jeff's work with One Voice. He shares why the Potato Salad Hill Cleanup Challenge remains one of his proudest accomplishments and explains how small acts of stewardship can change perceptions.Looking ahead, Jeff hopes to retire from Lincoln Electric, build a Jeep and camper setup, and return to exploring trails across the country.Support the show

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Hall of Wonder - part of Celebrate Creativity. Today I want to start exploring Shakespeare's play–Macbeth.And here is the wax figure character of Macbeth, himself. You know Macbeth, I will get directly to the point. Some people call you a monster.Mr. Barley, I would not be so quick with such a judgment. Mr. Shakespeare's trick is much sharper than that: he shows someone who can still choose—and then shows you the exact moment when I start out sourcing my choices to ambition, marriage, and prophecy.I am thane, hero, newly honored… and about to discover that wanting something is not the same as deserving it.Macbeth, to most of our listeners in the United States, the word THANE might be unfamiliar. It simply means a basically a Scottish noble—a trusted local lord who holds land from the king and, in return, owes loyalty and military service.  So when you hear “Macbeth, Thane of Glamis” (and later “Thane of Cawdor”), think:Title + job: a high-ranking lordPower base: he rules an area/estate for the kingObligation: he's expected to fight for the king and keep orderStatus: important, but below the king (not royalty)Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
