Marc Weitz had never owned a motorcycle, wasn't much for a plan and had three sources pointing toward two different routes. Then he rented a bike in Kabul and set out across Afghanistan toward the Minaret of Jam. Which route would he trust—and how would he know whether he was still on a road at all?

Monica's mostly anti-AI... so she challenged a futurist to change her mind ||⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/6pkTn-J_9MQ In this episode, Monica sits down with Futurist, Emmy Award-winning media entrepreneur, and creator of AI Dream Team™, Natalie MacNeil, for a conversation on AI that covers ALL THE THINGS so many of us are thinking, but very few have been willing to ask out loud until now. Monica came into the conversation with mostly anti-AI sentiments and challenged Natalie to change her mind. Together, they explore what it actually looks like to work with AI ethically without losing your voice, your values, or your humanity, and where the ethical lines sit for anyone running a business and/or raising kids. If you've been shying away from AI because something about it feels off (because same!!), this is the episode for you.What you'll also learn about:✨ The fear versus hope of where AI is heading✨ Is AI actually buying back your time?✨ How to raise kids who can still think for themselves✨ What will always stay human when machines can out-think all of us✨ The MIT study everyone cites about AI being bad for your brain✨ How to train AI so it challenges your thinking instead of validating everything you put into it✨ Natalie's rule of thumb on when and when not to use AI✨ The environmental impact of AI (it's crazy more people aren't talking about this!?)✨ How to run AI locally so none of your information is shared with data centers✨ Why we're all underpaying for AI right now, and how that may change in the future✨ The jobs that will always be safe from being taken by AI+++++  As Mentioned In The Episode:⇢ Connect with Natalie — https://www.instagram.com/nataliemacneil/ ⇢ NEW!

Adventure motorcycle training is everywhere today—but who worked out how these big motorcycles should be ridden off pavement, and how did those techniques become a formal curriculum? Clinton Smout joins Jim to explore where the training came from, why standards matter, and what riders of any brand should realistically expect from a professional course.

On creating alignment so it feels easy (not exhausting) || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/LOezmk20KC4 In the third and final part of the Rich, Happy & Healthy Series (go back and catch up on parts 1 and 2 if you missed them—linked below!), Monica covers what being in alignment actually looks and feels like in your body, your work, and your love life. She also explains why focusing on mindset work alone won't shift anything in your life, and what has to happen in your body first to get what you want. Here's what she covers: 

We spend a lot of time making motorcycle travel easier. More reliable bikes, GPS navigation, online bookings and help that may be only a message or a call away. Jacqui Furneaux has spent years travelling very differently. Her old Royal Enfield has broken down, she's relied on maps and strangers for directions, and she often leaves room for not knowing exactly what happens next. Some of the experiences she values most happened precisely because something didn't go according to plan. So as motorcycle travel becomes safer, easier and more predictable, what are we gaining — and what might we be insulating ourselves from? Are we engineering some of the adventure out of motorcycle travel?

ADHD isn't an excuse; stop using it as one.  ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/gvNhF8uBabQ In this juicy little nugget episode, Monica is joined by her husband, Hal, to call out one of the most common excuses she hears from women about why their men aren't leading: ADHD. Hal is clinically diagnosed and has never used it as a reason he can't lead, and he knows the same can be true for your man. They get into what's actually stopping your man from showing up in his masculine, and what you can do to encourage him to be the leader in your relationship. +++++  As Mentioned In The Episode: ⇢ Applications are now open — Monica's new signature program, Soft and Ambitious: MonicayateshealthSoft & Ambitious  ⇢ Join Monica's email list — Never Miss a Thing:Monicayateshealth  ⇢ Order the BOOK — Becoming HER:MonicayateshealthBecoming HER Book by Monica Yates ⇢ Monica's Instagram: Instagraminstagram.com/monicayateshealth ⇢ Full, SEARCHABLE Podcast Directory:MonicayateshealthFeminine as F*ck Remember to leave a written review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it before you submit it, and email it to us at media@monicayateshealth.com to receive an exclusive meditation track as a 'thank you' from Monica. This podcast and its content is copyright of Monica Yates Health © and Feminine as F*ck ©.

Why you're stuck in a loop of goal → feeling nothing → hurry onto the next || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/VrzhtodJ14o In part two of the Rich, Happy & Healthy Series (go back and catch up on part 1 if you missed it—linked below!), Monica covers why chronic productivity is blocking the dream life you're working so hard for, and what has to shift within YOU before manifestation, AI tools, or the next goal come into play.  Also inside the episode: 

Loading an adventure motorcycle changes far more than its weight. It affects the bike's balance, suspension, braking, maneuverability and traction—and can make familiar terrain feel completely different. Clinton Smout explains how to pack the bike properly, why weight placement matters, what changes once the motorcycle is loaded and what riders should consider before setting off.

"Are you building your dream life, or someone else's?" ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/eA3uo9_aQU4 This is part one of the Rich, Happy & Healthy SERIES–yep, that means this is just the beginning! If you've been constantly chasing the next goal or achievement, and you're still feeling hollow when you get there, Monica's got some juicy nuggets for you in this episode. She dives into the real reason high-achieving women stay in this cycle, what science says about your happiness baseline, and why building your dream life means nothing if you can't actually feel it in your body. Here's a peek at what else she gets into:

Let AI Take More Off Your Plate

Motorcycle traveller Andy Scherer was riding alone through a remote part of Mexico when a series of troubling encounters led to armed roadblocks—and his abduction. In this episode of Deep Trouble, Andy and his daughter Leslie share what happened, the decisions he faced and what other motorcycle travellers can learn from the experience.

⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/c5cc6d9gOw8 Monica vulnerably shares her story of the identity shift she's been moving through since becoming a mum, including months of nothing feeling right; grieving her signature program, Queen Alchemy, and her highly successful 3-day event, The Immersion; and how she stayed in the discomfort of the unknown instead of hurrying to figure it out. If you're in a season of not knowing—whether that's post-baby, post-burnout, or just post-whoever you used to be—this episode will give you permission to stop forcing an answer that isn't ready yet. Also inside:

Why a motorcycle first aid kit should be part of your riding gear — and why the kit itself is only part of being prepared.A motorcycle first aid kit often gets treated like an extra — something for remote trips, cautious riders, or people with medical training. But if riding motorcycles carries risk, then first aid should be part of the preparation. Not just a small pouch of bandages, but a kit that makes sense for motorcycling, the places we ride, and the situations we may come across.

Spoiler Alert: Burnout actually doesn't have to do with how much you work. ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/3OJWronjhG4 Today, Monica sets the record straight on what burnout actually is, and why it has nothing to do with how hard you're working. She's diving deep into what's really draining your life force energy, why healing burnout isn't about just doing less, and what the research says about happiness that the personal development world doesn't talk about. If you're feeling exhausted even though you're doing everything "right," this is the episode you didn't know you needed. Here's what she covers: 

Your Business Is Profitable, But Is It Built to Last?

Pat's away this week, so it's a solo one from Elle. First up, an apology and an explanation: no episode after Silverstone because a certain trackside glamping situation and a David Guetta set got the better of her. From there it's a proper catch-up, Red Bull's factory in Milton Keynes and their NASA-built control room, Goodwood Festival of Speed, the McLaren Technology Centre, and a very stressful near-miss getting stuck in Abu Dhabi on the way home. Then it's into the Belgian Grand Prix. Grid penalty carnage before the race even started, a lap one collision between Russell and Hamilton, and Kimi Antonelli hunting down Leclerc for his sixth win of the season. Elle runs through the full, genuinely mind-blowing list of records Antonelli has broken this year, from youngest polesitter in F1 history to the current state of his championship math against Russell and Hamilton. Plus a quick word on Aston Martin's driver lineup and whether change is coming. Topics covered: British GP recap, Red Bull HQ, Goodwood FOS, McLaren Technology Centre, Abu Dhabi travel chaos, Belgian GP grid penalties, Spa GP race recap, Kimi Antonelli 2026 records, F1 2026 championship standings, Aston Martin driver talk Follow along and get in touch with any questions for the next episode.

Nearly 50 years after a magazine story planted the dream of crossing Australia by motorcycle, Allan Waldon finally set out to make it happen. Riding unsupported with his mate Adam on two small motorcycles, he faced more than 6,000 kilometres of remote desert, flooded roads, deep gravel, fierce winds and slippery red clay. This is the story of two riders crossing a continent—and one man proving it's never too late to pursue a lifelong dream.

The 30-Minute CEO Meeting That Clears Business Decisions

Step inside Theatre Royal Drury Lane, one of London's most famous and historic theatres, where the applause may fade, but the stories refuse to leave the stage.In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata investigate the ghostly legends of Theatre Royal Drury Lane, a theatre with more than 350 years of drama, fire, fame, tragedy and superstition woven into its walls. From the mysterious Man in Grey, said to walk the upper circle before vanishing near the royal box, to the ghostly presence of performers like Dan Leno, Joseph Grimaldi and Charles Macklin, this is a haunting where the spirits seem less like intruders and more like permanent members of the company.But where did these stories begin?Was a skeleton really found behind a wall? Did a murdered man become the famous Man in Grey? Are the dressing room mirror sightings of Dan Leno genuine ghostly encounters, or the product of exhausted performers, theatrical folklore and a building designed to blur reality?Anne and Renata pull back the curtain on one of Britain's most enduring haunted theatre stories, looking at the legends, the reported encounters, the dubious beginnings, and the very human need to turn fear into tradition.Because at Drury Lane, the ghosts are not just seen.They are expected.#TrueHauntingsPodcast #TheatreRoyalDruryLane #HauntedLondon #GhostStories #TheManInGrey #tSpookyisles #thatreghostsruhauntings #haunteduk #hauntedengland #theatreghosts #hauntedtheatres #paranormal #anneandrenata #frightfullygoodghoststories #famoustheatreghosts #theatrelegends Hosted on Acast.

How to Find the Clients Driving Your Most Profitable Growth

Balance on a motorcycle is often treated like something a rider either has or does not have, but low-speed motorcycle balance is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and refined. Clinton Smout from SMART Performance Centre and host, Jim Martin, examine what happens when the bike slows down, how riders manage balance through steering, peg weighting, body position, acceleration, and foot placement, and what putting a foot down can reveal about motorcycle control, confidence, and riding skill.

Consistency doesn't require perfection — it requires getting back on track faster. In this episode, we break down the “Never Miss Two” rule and how one simple mindset shift can help you stay consistent with your workouts, nutrition, and long-term goals.

How to Buy a Profitable Business Without Starting From Scratch

How to Choose the Best Camping Setup for the Way You RideBefore you start comparing motorcycle tents, sleeping pads, stoves, chairs, pack sizes, and weights, there is an important question to answer. In this episode, Ben Williams from Moto Camp Nerd talks about a simple way to think through your motorcycle camping setup before you start buying gear, so your choices are based on the way you actually ride and travel, not just someone else's packing list. Michnus and Elsebie Olivier of PikiPiki Overland and Turkana Gear also share lessons learned from years of motorcycle travel, including what they've overpacked, what they've replaced, and what has earned a permanent place in their kit. It's a practical conversation about choosing gear with purpose, not just following the latest trends.

Why Robert Pirsig's Famous Motorcycle Book Mattered to Him — And Why it Didn'tTed Simon is best known as the author of Jupiter's Travels, one of the most influential motorcycle travel books ever written. Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is another book that has long held a strange place in motorcycling culture: widely known, often recommended, and perhaps just as often left unfinished. In this conversation, Ted talks about finally reading Pirsig's famous book and why it matters to him in a way listeners might not expect. Is it really a motorcycle book? Why has it stayed in the minds of riders for so many years? And what does motorcycle maintenance mean when the machine beneath you is not just a symbol, but the thing that determines whether the journey continues? What begins with one famous motorcycle book soon opens into Ted's own memories of travel, breakdowns, repair, and the very practical reality of keeping a journey alive when there is no easy answer and no one else to do the work.

Host Sarah Jakes Roberts is in her bag, pulling out the kinds of questions that get you talking like you've known her forever.

Why Great Employees Leave Even When You Pay Well

Is Your Business an Asset or Just a Stressful Job?

Love and people pleasing can look very similar on the outside, but internally they are coming from completely different places. Healthy love includes honesty, choice, boundaries, and your humanity too, while people pleasing is often fueled by fear, guilt, pressure, and emotional self-abandonment. This conversation explores how to care deeply for others without disappearing in the process and why saying no does not make you less loving. Healing people pleasing is not about loving less — it's about learning to love from a grounded, truthful, and emotionally healthy place. Never Miss a Free Class with Diana: www.rympodcast.com

Send us Fan Mail Most of us were never afraid of failing. We were afraid of what failure said about us. And somewhere in that fear, we stopped trying. This episode is for anyone who has quietly shelved a dream, stayed stuck in a pattern they swore they would break, or told themselves they just need more willpower. The truth, as Terry shows us, is both simpler and deeper than that. Terry Fossum grew up in the poorest city in the United States. He has been a nuclear B-52 officer, a survival reality show winner, a bestselling author, and a TEDx speaker whose talk was named one of the most impactful of this century. In this conversation, he shares the emotional wiring behind why goals fail, how adversity becomes your greatest credential, and the three-step Oxcart Technique rooted in Nobel Prize-winning science that has helped people rebuild marriages, break addictions, and reach goals they never believed were possible. About the Guest: Terry L. Fossum is a Wall Street Journal number one bestselling author, TEDx speaker, former US Air Force executive officer for a nuclear B-52 bomber group, and winner of the Fox Network survival reality show. He is the creator of the Oxcart Technique, a goal achievement method grounded in Nobel Prize-winning behavioral science, and the author of Never Miss a Goal Again. Key Takeaways: Failure is not a character flaw. Every strong, resilient person you admire got there by failing, and failing, and failing again. The ones who stopped are simply not in the room. Your story is not about you. The most powerful thing you can offer from the stage, the page, or a conversation is not how remarkable you are, but how much the listener can see themselves in what you went through. The pain of not changing must feel more real than the discomfort of changing. Traditional goal setting only pulls you toward pleasure. The Oxcart Technique uses both the pull of a better future and the weight of a painful one to break through emotional resistance. Write it until you cry. Vague goals create vague results. When your failure scenario is detailed enough to produce genuine emotion, you have something strong enough to move you. Emotion drives action, not facts. You can know everything you need to do and still stay stuck, because information without feeling changes nothing. You never know which try is the one that works. Terry once gave up on starting a fire in below-zero temperatures on a mountaintop, fell into the snow, and heard it crackle to life. That last effort, the one he thought was wasted, was the one that mattered.

The fastest way to lose a new pool service customer is painfully simple: let the call go to voicemail while you're out on route. I sit down with Nikki Acosta and Hal Denbar from Skimmer to talk about a practical use of AI that actually earns its keep, an AI phone receptionist built specifically for pool businesses. We get into what AI should do for operators, save time, reduce interruptions, and stop real revenue leaks, instead of adding another shiny tool to the pile.Nikki breaks down how Skimmer's AI Phone works day to day: answering during the hours you choose, asking the questions you design, and routing calls based on rules for existing customers versus brand-new leads. The system can collect contact info, address, service area details, and even pool type, then store the call data inside Skimmer and create a customer record automatically. We also talk about “custom knowledge” so you can embed troubleshooting steps and safety escalations, like when a caller reports smoke or a potential equipment hazard.Hal zooms out on what this means for growth in the pool industry. Bigger companies used to win by default because they could always pick up the phone. If a small operator can answer every call with an AI voice agent, the playing field shifts. We also dig into how to choose pool service software the smart way: stability, security, business continuity, and the ability to integrate with the rest of your tech stack through APIs and webhooks.

Eva Strehler had already learned what drew her to the road on a motorcycle: freedom, movement, and a way of living outside the usual shape of things. Then she built a sidecar for her dog, Polly, and headed east. What followed was meant to be another long motorcycle journey — through Turkey, into Iran, and across landscapes that changed as quickly as the people she met along the way. But somewhere during the trip, the journey became about something else entirely. This is a conversation about travel, companionship, risk, solitude, and the moments that quietly change the meaning of a journey while you're still inside it.

What do you do when your adventure bike is buried in sand, lying sideways on a slope, or wedged deep in a rut miles from help? In this episode, Jim talks with Clinton Smout, Adam Owens, and Chris Birch about the mindset, techniques, and recovery tools riders use when things go wrong off-road. From smart trail-side decisions and energy-saving recovery methods to simple techniques that can turn a bad situation around, this episode is packed with practical knowledge every adventure rider should hear before they need it.

Clif Holland shares a father-and-son motorcycle adventure that took an unexpected turn shortly after arriving at Big Bend National Park. After a 700-mile ride to reach the start of their backcountry route, the decision to explore before staging their gear set the tone for what followed. Riding a heavily loaded BMW R1200GS on remote backroads, Clif quickly found himself facing the challenges of sand, weight distribution, and the limited margin for error on big adventure bikes, which led to DEEP TROUBLE. We talk about backcountry riding and the importance of preparation, training, and testing your setup before tackling routes like the BDR.
