Some dream of adventure. Others strap their lives to a bicycle and chase it across continents. Meet Jacob Lemanski, the unstoppable explorer behind How To Move The Stars, a video podcast chronicling his extraordinary 38,000-mile solo ride across six continents. His journey was more than just a test of endurance. It was a deep dive into the unknown, where every pedal stroke became a lesson in resilience, every obstacle a chance to redefine limits.From battling brutal headwinds to enduring relentless heat, Jacob discovered that adventure isn't just about conquering miles. It's about surrendering to the experience. He learned that the road is unpredictable, and the only way forward is to embrace both the struggle and the beauty in equal measure.For Jacob, the journey didn't end when the wheels stopped spinning. Upon returning home, his creativity took on a whole new form. He began crafting psychedelic ant farms, a reflection of the interconnected, ever-moving world he had experienced on his ride. The patience, observation, and adaptability he developed on the road translated into his artistic vision, proving that exploration doesn't stop when the adventure is over. It simply evolves."Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." ~ Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat keeps a person moving when the road never seems to end? How do you embrace discomfort, push through exhaustion, and find joy in the hardest moments? And what happens when the journey changes you forever?Join us on Speaking of Travel as we dive into Jacob's story. This is a story of grit, wonder, and the magic of saying yes to the unknown.Tune in! Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reveal my Ultra Contrarian Lineups for this week's DFS slate. Going forward, I will be doing two podcasts a week for the playoffs instead of my normal three I do. That will give me a little more time to talk about game theory and why some of these players are vital this week. I even revealed some breaking news during the podcast in which my wife let me know they moved the game between the Rams and the Vikings to Arizona. So that's enough talk for now as we prepare to smash the slates and our competition this week. Have a great day, everyone, and may the points be with you.

We're back and more energized than ever! It's been a whirlwind of experiences, from electrifying stages at Essence Fest to powerful moments at the DNC. This episode of "Across Generations" is all about reflection and celebration. I open up about the importance of having spaces dedicated to Black women, where we can discuss everything from the fluidity of our sexual identities to our challenges with online dating, and even our place in the world of sports. And yes, witnessing a Black woman stepping into a position of leadership for our nation is a milestone we must acknowledge, even as we confront the harsher realities of global conflicts. Kamala Harris's recent debate performance left me in awe, and I couldn't help but reflect on my personal experiences with her. Her ability to own a room is nothing short of inspiring, and it's moments like these that remind us of the critical need for voter mobilization and awareness. I also share my thoughts on media consumption, stressing the importance of diverse news sources, like The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and The Root, while sounding a cautionary note on the often misleading world of social media. Finding the balance between staying informed and not falling into the trap of disinformation is a tightrope we all walk. Lastly, let's talk about the power of connection among Black women. We dive into how social media can be both a tool for spreading truth and a weapon for misinformation, especially against marginalized communities. It's imperative that platforms hire more native Spanish speakers to better address targeted disinformation. I also reflect on the profound sense of community I've felt at our annual retreats—a sanctuary for open dialogue and mutual support. A recent heartfelt encounter on a flight underscored just how deep our unspoken connections run. Join us behind the scenes of "Across Generations," brought to life by the incredible team at Will Packer Media and iHeart Podcast, as we continue this journey of storytelling and connection.
