In this episode of Life in Motion, Jeremy catches up with old friend Casey Smith — also the second-ever guest on the podcast — for a conversation that feels equal parts reflective, honest, and inspiring. Casey shares how life has shifted over the years from BMX to running, coaching, parenting, travel, and trying to find balance through it all. They talk about supporting your kids when they find their passion, building routines that keep you grounded, staying creative even when interests evolve, and what it means to keep showing up for the things and people you care about. It's a real conversation about growing older, holding onto what matters, and learning how to keep life in motion without losing yourself along the way.Life in Motion is brought to you by Actual Outdoors.

In this episode of Life in Motion, we chat with Christina Redman of the G5 Trail Collective about the bigger story unfolding in Old Fort, North Carolina.

What if the biggest challenge in life isn't deciding what to do next… but who you are as you move into the next chapter?In this episode of Life in Motion, George Jerjian shares how a life-altering health scare forced him to confront identity, purpose, and time in a whole new way.
