What started as a nine-day motorcycle trip through Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia took a sudden and serious turn. Riding the TET, Philipp Amann and his friends were well into their journey when one of the riders fell ill but insisted on continuing. When he made the decision to turn back, his friends chose to ride with him, unaware of how quickly his condition was deteriorating. It's a story about good intentions, missed signs, and the importance of recognizing when it's time to stop.

When the life she'd planned took an unexpected turn, Kathleen Perry had to find her footing again. The quiet retirement she and her husband had imagined was gone when he passed away — so she reached back to something she'd set aside long ago: a dream to wander. She set her sights on three places — Prudhoe Bay, Ushuaia, and Nordkapp — three dots on the map. And to connect those dots, she would ride a motorcycle.

Over the last few weeks, we've explored what makes you a creative business owner, why your creativity is your most valuable asset, what's working right now for creative businesses, why 26 Pinterest visitors matter more than a million views, and ways to generate revenue that feel aligned with how you work best.

Adventure motorcycling isn't just about the ride—it's about everything that comes with it: the borders, the gear, and the unpredictable moments in between. Ever had your gear raise an eyebrow—or a full-blown alarm—with airport security, police, or border agents? From tools to camping gear that triggered searches, the RAW panel shares stories of harmless objects that looked anything but, and the tense moments when curiosity met authority. And when the road itself turns uncertain, determination can clash with reality—storms rolling in, daylight fading, instincts warning “not today.” In this episode, we explore the judgment calls that separate grit from recklessness, the gear that got us flagged, and the rides we didn't finish but will never forget.

Near the end of a month-long motorcycle ride through Spain, Mark and Lisa Schubert set out for what should've been an easy final day through the Pyrenees. But as they climbed higher, a mild forecast unravelled into chaos — winds strong enough to stop their motorcycle mid-corner, trees down, and power lines snapping. What follows isn't a story about recklessness or bravado, but about how easily ordinary choices and a little fixation can lead riders into real danger. It's about the thin line between pressing on and pulling back — and the single moment that changed everything.

Modern motorcycles aren't just machines anymore—they're equipped with advanced technology. Ride-by-wire means your throttle hand communicates with a processor instead of a cable, and that computer considers wheel speed, lean angle, traction, braking, and more before deciding how your bike responds.

In this Rider Skills episode, Clinton Smout of SMART Riding Adventures explains how understanding ride modes can enhance your safety, control, and enjoyment on every ride.

We all choose our riding gear for comfort, style, and weather protection — trusting that if it's sold as motorcycle gear, it must also keep us safe in a crash. But how much of that trust is based on proof, and how much is just assumption? This week we speak with the head of one of the world's only independent labs that secretly buys gear off the shelf, crash-tests it, and publishes the results. What they've uncovered may completely change the way you think about the gear you've been relying on.

Last week, I had dinner with a brand strategist named Sarah who was completely deflated. She'd just lost a potential client to someone charging half her rates. But here's the fascinating part: that client had spent twenty minutes explaining why Sarah's approach felt so different, so thoughtful, and exactly what they needed. They praised her insights, described her process in detail, even said they felt confident she could transform their business. And then they chose someone else purely on price. Sarah thought this was evidence she needed to lower her rates. I saw something completely different... a pattern I've seen across many creative businesses that, once you understand it, changes everything about how you position your work...   Key Moments: [00:00] The dinner conversation with Sarah that sparked a critical business insight [03:14] Why price isn't the ultimate deciding factor for clients [06:17] The real value of understanding your unique business approach [10:03] How to communicate your exceptional strengths [16:10] Strategies for attracting clients who value expertise [21:55] Breaking the cycle of underpricing and overdelivering [28:24] Transforming consultations into value-demonstration opportunities   Notable Quotes: "When you price based on the outcomes you create rather than competing on cost, you attract clients who are looking to invest in what you deliver and what they want to achieve." "Quality has become non-negotiable, but it's no longer enough on its own. Beautiful work is expected. What makes you stand out now is how you think, how you solve problems, and how the experience of working with you feels from the very first interaction."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's Full Journal Post Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: Have you experienced a moment when a client recognised your unique value but chose a cheaper alternative?

If you've ever lost sleep wondering whether you missed a critical detail in a quote—or felt the adrenaline of winning a job only to realize you underpriced it—this MakingChips episode is for you. Recorded live at FABTECH 2025, Nick sits down with Jason Ray, founder of Paperless Parts, to unveil a breakthrough tool that promises to transform how shops handle complex RFQs, drawings, and bills of materials.

When everything is perfectly organized—routes mapped, fuel stops planned, meals and beds guaranteed—it feels effortless. But the truth is, no matter how tidy the plan, the real world always gets a vote. On short rides, those small interruptions are easy to patch over. Stretch the miles across countries and weeks on the road, though, and the little things start to compound. That's when the first casualty is usually the plan—and what comes next is called the adventure.In this 2017 story, a dozen experienced riders set out to cross South America from Cartagena to Ushuaia, equipped with skills, support vehicles, and a clear plan. But tropical rain, border red tape, shock absorbers that cried uncle, and Patagonian winds forced them to adapt. The journey didn't unfold the way they mapped it—but that's the point. What carries a long trip isn't a perfect plan; it's the flexibility to rewrite it.

Happy Wednesday, Heal Squad! Today's episode looks a little different, as we dive into a chatshow with Maria that is a mix of fun, reflection, and some powerful lessons she's  picked up this summer! Maria takes us behind the scenes of her jam-packed post-summer adventures, from a whirlwind Hamptons trip that was booked and busy (of course she still stuck to her healing routines), to dream concerts with Metallica and Gwen Stefani. Spoiler: she head-banged so hard at Metallica she had to work on healing her head and neck afterwards! She reflects on how these moments remind us about balance, slowing down, and the importance of listening to your body. She also opens up about raising Athena, not just as a mom, but as a guide in helping her become the CEO of her own health. From setting little routines to supporting Athena's love of learning (she's already picking up three languages and soon a fourth!), Maria shares how these lessons inspire her own healing journey too. PLUS, she reflects on how Dr Joe Dispenza's wisdom continues to shape her breakthroughs in clarity, habits, and emotional health. This one's packed with inspiration, laughs, and real-life lessons to help you find your own breakthroughs as we move into a new season.

Welcome to Sales & Cigars, the sales podcast where the only smoke we blow is from cigars. Join host Walter Crosby in this eye-opening solo episode as he tackles common misconceptions in the sales industry. In this episode, Walter takes on two big myths: first, that promoting your top salesperson to sales manager is a smart move, and second, that hiring someone with extensive industry experience is crucial for a sales role. In this episode: Walter dives deep into why these widely held beliefs can be pitfalls for business owners. He argues that while top salespeople often possess great skills, these don't always translate to effective management abilities. Instead, he suggests seeking managers who can actively coach and guide the team, as a different set of skills is needed. Moving on to industry experience, Walter explains why experience in a specific industry isn't always necessary for a sales role. What matters more is finding a candidate who can effectively communicate with buyers, possesses solid sales skills, motivation, and accountability. Walter shares how these qualities can lead to better results than simply having an industry insider. Grab a cocktail and a cigar, and get ready to challenge conventional wisdom with Walter! Key Topics: The traps of promoting top salespeople to management roles The significance of coaching skills in effective sales management Why industry experience isn't the ultimate requirement in hiring for sales roles The potential benefits of hiring salespeople from adjacent industries Strategies for uncovering real skills beyond industry experience   Connect with Walter Crosby and Sales & Cigars: Website: Helix Sales Development LinkedIn: Walter Crosby Instagram: @wcrosby248 Facebook: Helix Sales Development     Share Your Thoughts: We'd love to hear your feedback and experiences!

Chris Birch returns to Adventure Rider Radio with insights from his brand-new Everything Adventure video training series. This is a deep dive into how adventure riding and training have evolved in the last five years. Chris explains why fundamentals like bike setup and body position matter more than flashy skills, how modern ADV bike design is changing the way we ride, and why so much of what riders learn in a course is quickly forgotten. From fitness as the hidden limiter, to the “fun tokens” mindset, to the balance between digital and in-person training, Chris shares practical lessons and fresh perspectives every rider can take to the trail.About Chris Birch:Chris Birch is one of the most sought-after off-road coaches in the world. With over 35 years of riding experience, he has competed at the highest levels and coached thousands of riders across the globe.

Damian (Demon) Rowley spent 35 years riding motorcycles professionally in London—first as a courier, then as one of Virgin's elite “limo bike” riders, trusted to ferry celebrities and executives through the city's relentless traffic. With over half a million miles behind him, Damian shares the toll of crashes, injuries, and burnout, as well as the moment he realized he needed a change. At 50, he walked away from security, ended a long relationship, and set out solo on a KTM 690 to ride the world. His story isn't just about motorcycles—it's about reinvention, confronting fear, and discovering personal growth when the safety nets are gone.
