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.

Fifteen years on the road—and no major disasters. Elsebie and Michnus Olivier of PikiPiki Overland share how they've dodged mechanical meltdowns, sketchy border crossings, and costly mistakes while traveling by motorcycle —including one tense moment in Sudan that could have gone very wrong. Is it luck… or a skill you can learn?

You finally commit to that project you've been putting off for years. You dive in with enthusiasm, start making real progress, and then reality hits. It's smaller than you dreamed, less impressive than you imagined, especially when compared to what others have accomplished. That's exactly where we find God's people three weeks into rebuilding the temple. The older folks who remembered Solomon's magnificent temple were saying, 'This is nothing compared to what we had before.' The workers were getting discouraged. And that's when God shows up with His promise: 'The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former” not because of outward appearances, but because God dwells within and will bless his people.  The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Haggai 2.  To learn more about Our Redeemer, visit ourredeemerstl.org. The Persian king Cyrus issues an astonishing decree: the exiles may go home. Among them are the Jews—God's chosen people—whom this pagan ruler not only repatriates, but commands to rebuild the temple of the Lord. Ezra 1–4 tells of their return, the joy of restored worship, and the crushing opposition that brings construction to a standstill. Then the prophets Haggai and Zechariah speak with God's authority, calling His people to courage, repentance, and hope. In Ezra 5–8 the temple is completed, worship flourishes, and hearts are renewed in God's Word. This series on Thy Strong Word follows the events in the order they happened, revealing how the Lord moves kings and prophets, overcomes opposition, and restores His people. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In this episode of the Blue Ridge Overland Gear Bonfire Podcast, we're mixing trail talk, gear reviews, and a little snack-time science—because who says overlanding can't be delicious?We start with the Titan Terrain Depth Gauge—a weighted, buoyant pole with depth markings and a hand-lined reel designed to make water crossings safer (and way more fun). Then we head to Georgetown, DC, for a look inside the brand-new Huckberry store, stocked with everything from and Tender t-shirts to Astraflex shoes—and maybe even a future coffee bar in the works.Other highlights this week:The latest Overland news (including Stellantis vehicle updates)Why Columbia's new ad campaign is getting our thumbs-upA few fresh mechanical headaches from Logan's Land Rover LR3Responding to your comments from last week's episodeAs always, we'd love to hear from you—drop a comment and tell us what topics or gear you want us to cover next.

In This EpisodeIt's 1:00 PM May 5th, 1864 -- Brigadier General Lysander Cutler's famed Iron Brigade advanced in tandem with Bartlett through woods immediately south of Saunders Field. Although Bartlett is able to break through, Cutler meets fierce resistance as his men struggle to fight half in the openness of Saunders Field, and half in the dense thickets of The Wilderness. As the battle rages, the Iron Brigade soon discovers the dangers of fighting an invisible enemy.Notable Quotes"An elderly gentleman, spare of frame, with silvery hair, a beard nearly white, and beneath heavy eyebrows of an iron-gray color, are keen, penetrating dark eyes. His step is somewhat uneven, owing to a severe wound received at Gainesville. From behind a somewhat grave and severe aspect, shines out a kindly, even genial manner that wins you at once." -- Rufus Dawes' Memoir (about General Lysander Cutler)"All semblance of line of battle was gone and there were gaps everywhere between regiments and brigades."-- General Warren's Aide"Look to your right!"-- Officer, 6th Wisconsin"At Chickamauga there was at least a rear, but here there ain't neither front nor rear. It's all a [...] mess! And our two armies ain't nothin but howlin' mobs!” -- A Confederate prisoner to his captors"Where is my second line? Bring up my second line!" -- Wadsworth riding back and forth, trying to reform his Federal lines"It met with the greatest loss of any regiment in the battles of the Wilderness.” -- 7th, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment HistorySupport the War Yankee PodcastEvery episode is a work of passion that requires a lot of coffee.

Elisa Rosales lay on her back, head spinning, gasping for air. Her bike lay a few feet away, right where she had dropped it. Darkness pressed at the edges of her vision, and she fought the pull to let go, to drift into sleep. The ground beneath her was cold; she was cold. This was her first motorcycle adventure. She and her husband had set out from Argentina, bound for Arizona, but that destination felt impossibly far from where she now lay in the Andes, at nearly 16,000 feet. And the hardest part of the journey was only beginning.

Join us for an engaging episode featuring Judd, a passionate adventurer, successful business owner, and automotive enthusiast. In this conversation, we explore Judd's journey from a professional rock climber and mountain biker to a business owner creating top-tier expedition vehicles. Judd's love for adventure, combined with his deep appreciation for different forms of travel and vehicles, shines through as he discusses his unique experiences and the lessons he has learned along the way. This episode is rich with insights on life, business, family, and the thrill of exploring the world, making it a must for anyone passionate about adventurous living and automobiles.

This episode is a follow-up to our recent episode, Abandoned on the Dalton, which featured rider Shilo Crane on a journey from Georgia to Alaska to raise awareness for mental health. That story took a turn when Shilo said he was left behind by his riding partner on the remote Dalton Highway, forcing him to continue the trip alone. But shortly after that episode aired, we heard from the other rider—Corey Speck—who says it was he who was abandoned. What unfolds in this episode may sound like a rebuttal, a clash of perspectives, or a story about hurt feelings and fractured friendships. But as you listen, you might find something more profound—maybe even a story of discovery.

Harrison Schoen (@harrisonschoen) made his name living in a Porsche Cayenne and sharing raw, honest stories from the road. But it was a moment on national television—walking away from a $1,000,000 prize on MrBeast's Beast Games—that cemented his ethos: some experiences are worth more than money. In this episode, we explore Harrison's background, why he chooses the harder path, and how storytelling, travel, and self-reliance shape his approach to life. We also discuss his latest project—a Unimog build for a Pan-American journey—and what it means to stay rooted in travel, not trends.

In this episode, we sit down with Spencer Park of BlissMobil to talk about our shared passion for expedition vehicles—what makes them special, what they enable, and why they matter. From design philosophy to real-world functionality, we explore what separates true expedition platforms from ordinary builds. Along the way, we share personal stories, practical advice, and the lessons learned from life on the road.

Cameron Jones won the 2025 edition of the 205-mile Unbound Gravel, the most competitive edition ever of the most prestigious gravel race on the planet. Three months earlier, he showed up in America, walked into a used car dealership in the Bay Area, walked off the lot with a used Honda Odyssey and a dream to make this his best season ever.   But these aren't the most interesting parts of his story. Cameron has done stints in the forestry industry and in his teens back in New Zealand was an elite mutli-sport athlete who knocked the arm warmers off the best athletes in New Zealand in the Coast to Coast, a race that combines running, cycling and kayaking to travel across New Zealand.  Cameron is from a tight family and I wanted to know more about who he is and how he came from seemingly out of nowhere to pull off a win people will be talking about for years to come.  I enjoyed getting to know him and I'd love to hear your thoughts about what he shares, DM me @hardwaypod on Instagram and let me know what you think.  The number one way to support Choose the Hard Way is to become a paid subscriber to my substack, alwaysthehardway.substack.com.

It’s a big episode of doorknocker discourse! Emerald is joined by two of the countries’ best political doorknockers - Andrew Mason, recently from the successful Ryan campaign, and Oskar Summers-Dixon, who’s led field campaigns for the Greens in New Zealand, Melbourne, and Tasmania. First up is a look at some of the news of the week (10:56), as antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal has a scary list of proposals and a scary Advance-donating husband. Meanwhile, the court finds no duty of care owed to Torres Strait Islanders by Australia over climate change. Then a deep dive into doorknocking (39:14). Why is it so mythologised? Is it still effective? Is it the solution to hopelessness? ---------- Just released on Patreon - “Inside the Greens #9: Gillard, carbon tax, BDS & Bob Brown retires” The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

In the mountains of northern India, surrounded by snow, altitude, and uncertain roads, James Thomas and two other riders pressed on—confident they could make it through. But what unfolded wasn't just a story of rough terrain or questionable GPS directions. It was about something much more familiar to most of us than we might admit: a mental trap known as cognitive narrowing, where pressure and focus cloud judgment until we can't see what's right in front of us. What happens when that focus becomes so tight, so singular, that we stop processing the cues telling us to stop—or turn around?

St. Paul's heartfelt appeal for generosity to support the saints in Jerusalem is far from a high-pressure fundraising pitch. Instead, the Apostle paints a vivid picture of gospel-driven generosity, emphasizing joy, freedom, and abundance rooted in God's overflowing grace. In this episode, discover how cheerful giving is intertwined with confidence in the gospel, as Paul encourages believers to give not out of obligation, but as an opportunity to express love toward their neighbor and faith and trust toward God.  The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Corinthians 9.  To learn more about Our Reedeemer, visit ourredeemerstl.org. What does it mean to follow Christ in weakness? What does true ministry look like in the face of criticism, suffering, and spiritual warfare? And how can the Church hold fast to the Gospel when pressured by the world—and even by false teachers within? On Thy Strong Word, we walk verse by verse through, arguably, the apostle Paul's most personal, emotional, and paradoxical letter: 2 Corinthians. From forgiveness and reconciliation to generous giving and boasting only in the Lord, 2 Corinthians calls every believer to follow Christ boldly. This is the way of the cross, where God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in you. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Anyone can bolt parts to a truck—but building a factory overlander is something else entirely. In this episode, recorded live at Overland Expo, we sit down with Dave Harriton, founder of AEV (American Expedition Vehicles), to explore what it actually takes to engineer an OEM-validated overland vehicle. From Jeep and Ram to full production lines at GM, Dave shares what goes into building expedition-ready platforms that roll straight off the assembly line—vehicles that have to meet the same durability, safety, and emissions standards as any other factory model. It's a rare look into the world where overlanding meets automotive engineering at scale—and why most aftermarket builds aren't playing the same game.

You've got an hour or less to train, what do you do?  Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter & podcast + WEDU's Outcomes / The Move takes a break from the Tour de France to join Choose the Hard Way creator Andrew Vontz  to talk about what they do when life and work are at max stress and you have little time to workout.  Is Zone 2 really the right move if you have a few hours a week to train and you're a cyclist, runner or triathlete with a long training history and navigating highly stressful moments in work, family and life?  Should you follow a rigid training program or freestyle?  Vo2 max intervals every time the road goes uphill, Zwift racing, Zwift pace partners, bodyweight workouts, push-ups & pull-ups before the kids wake up at 5 a.m. are some of the methods Andrew and Spencer use to get fit when they can in the time they have.  As we age, family, parenting, work, health, wellness and just staying alive start to become higher priorities. But we all still want to go fast when it's time to run, ride or get out there and tackle that gravel monument. Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia have many great ideas about how to make that happen, this conversation focuses more on the practical versus the perfect. What gets done is what works, and many people struggle to fit it all into the day.  Whether you're racing Unbound, BWR, Mid South, Overland, Gravel Worlds or just a busy parent who enjoys running, riding, lifting, hybrid training, Hyrox or being able to get up off the floor after a Netflix binge without injuring yourself, your fascia and breathwork will thank you for listening to this stunning episode.  Leave a comment or DM @hardwaypod and let us know what you think of this new experimental episode format.  The number one way to support Choose the Hard Way is to become a paid subscriber to https://alwaysthehardway.substack.com/.

The mission was simple: ride motorcycles from Georgia to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to raise funds and awareness for mental health among veterans and first responders. Two military men set off as a team, just like they had served—watching each other's backs and pushing through the miles together. But halfway through, everything changes. The team breaks. Shilo Crane is left to ride alone. And what happens after that… may be the most revealing part of the adventure.

It's easy to get caught up in the business of overlanding and forget to actually travel. But Basil Lynch never stopped. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Basil's Garage—an overland outfitter based in San Diego—to talk about why staying on the road matters more than ever. From international travel to local weekend getaways, Basil's real-world experience continues to shape how he builds vehicles, advises clients, and runs his shop. We dig into his background, his favorite travel moments, and why firsthand experience is still the best way to know what gear works—and what doesn't. This is a reminder that in an industry built on adventure, the best advice still comes from those who live it.

Ever wonder how a kid rebuilding engines in his dad's garage ends up shaping the off-road and Overland industries while dodging influencer clichés and crushing corporate glass ceilings? In this episode, Chris sits down with Matt Moghaddam — creative, entrepreneur, and all-around gearhead — to talk about his journey from customer service grunt to marketing director to magazine editor. From building Mustangs and Tacomas to navigating the Wild West of social media and brand deals, Matt reveals what it really takes to turn a passion into a career without losing your sanity (or your suspension).➡️ We unpack why nobody actually “has it all figured out,” why the Overland craze may have peaked (and how to score a rooftop tent on Facebook Marketplace), and why growing too fast can ruin even the best business. Plus: customer service horror stories, Nordstrom tales, influencer marketing gripes, and how Larry the Cockroach became a studio mascot. If you've ever thought about quitting your day job to chase a dream — or just wondered where all those Sprinter vans went — this one's for you.

Although Josiah's father and grandfather were wicked idolaters, Josiah's thirty-one-year reign is characterized by more faithfulness than even his great-grandfather Hezekiah. When Josiah begins to repair the temple in the eighteenth year of his reign, the book of the Law is found and read. Rather than keeping the Word of God at arm's length, Josiah realizes that repentance is needed immediately. He turns to the LORD, and the prophetess Huldah reveals that exile will come upon Judah after Josiah has died in peace. The delay in God's judgment does not prevent Josiah from taking faithful action in his own day.  Rev. David Boisclair, pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Kings 22:1-20.  To learn more about Our Redeemer, visit  www.ourredeemerstl.org. "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Damian Monkhorst, an Australian rider, loves twisty roads and staying off the tourist track. When an online motorcycle forum connected him with riders in the United States, including Andy Morley, he knew he wanted to experience it for himself. From the other side of the world, he made a bold move—buying a bike and having it waiting for him when he arrived. But once he got there, the adventure wasn't quite what he expected—neither the ride nor the people.

In this episode, we dive into Dan's incredible journeys, including his **3-year African adventure**, exploring the **Sahara Desert**, and even visiting the iconic **Indiana Jones filming locations** in Tunisia!

Made in the West: American Innovation in OverlandingWhat does overland innovation look like when it's born in a Montana machine shop instead of an international trade show? In this episode, we sit down with Matt Linder, CEO of Truckhouse, and Graeme MacPherson of Go Fast Campers—two leaders shaping the future of American-made expedition vehicles. From composite monocoques to ultra-light pop-up campers, both are proving that thoughtful design and domestic manufacturing can still punch above their weight. This conversation explores the philosophy behind their products, the value of restraint in design, and why American ingenuity still matters in a space often dominated by imported gear.

STLPR digital editor Jessica Rogen and host Elaine Cha break down the latest openings and closings in the St. Louis food scene.

Joseph brings his sons to the dying Jacob for a blessing, carefully positioning Manasseh, the firstborn, at Jacob's right hand. But Jacob crosses his hands, placing his right hand on younger Ephraim's head. When Joseph tries to correct this apparent mistake, Jacob refuses: "I know, my son, I know." This deliberate reversal echoes throughout Genesis—Abel over Cain, Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau—God consistently choosing the younger, the weaker, the unexpected. Jacob adopts Joseph's sons as his own, granting them full tribal status in Israel. The crossed hands of blessing point forward to another wooden cross where all God's promises find their "Yes" and "Amen."  The Rev.

David Boisclair of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO to study Genesis 48.  To learn more about Redeemer Lutheran, visit redeemershawnee.org.

On this episode, we go beyond the usual explanations of freedom and thrill to explore how riding a motorcycle doesn't just feel different—it engages our brains in a uniquely powerful way. Cognitive scientist Mark Changizi believes that riding may be the one activity that truly fits how our brains evolved, creating a seamless connection between humans and machines.Mark Changizi is a cognitive scientist and theorist known for exploring why we think, feel, and see the way we do. His research has led to discoveries about colour vision, visual illusions, emotions, language, and even why fingers get pruney in water. He has published several books, co-founded VINO Optics to develop vein-enhancing glasses, and his work has been featured on TED, Brain Games, and Head Games.

Before overlanding was a hashtag, it was a mindset—and Graeme Jackson was one of the people who helped define it in the U.S. In this episode, we sit down with Graeme to trace the origins of overlanding in North America, from the founding days of Overland Journal to the first Overland Expo. With decades of international experience, including a full traverse of Africa in the early 2000s, Graeme brings a unique blend of practical insight and historical context. This conversation is a window into where we've come from—and what we might need to remember as the industry moves forward.

The grain is gone, but Jacob refuses to send Benjamin to Egypt despite Judah's guarantee of his safety. Only when starvation looms does Jacob relent, sending his sons with double money and gifts, praying that God Almighty will grant them mercy. When Joseph sees Benjamin, he's overcome with emotion and must leave to weep in private. The brothers are seated according to their birth order (to their amazement) and Benjamin receives five times the portion of his brothers. This lavish feast amid famine speaks to God's abundant grace, even as Joseph continues to test whether his brothers have truly changed since they sold him into slavery.  The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 43. To learn more about Our Reedemer, visit www.ourredeemerstl.org.

Noraly Schoenmaker was living a comfortable life in the Netherlands, building a career as a geologist, when her world was suddenly turned upside down. For some, heartbreak might mean retreating inward, but Noraly chose something radically different. She walked away from the life she knew, packed up what she could, and set off to explore the world on a motorcycle. It wasn't a wild whim — her work had already taken her to far-flung places like Panama and Indonesia, exploring gold mines and studying sand. But this time, it was her journey. Over 20,000 miles later, through countries like Iraq, Iran, and India, she found freedom, connection, and perspective — one road, one meal, one encounter at a time.Noraly Schoenmaker is the creator of the hugely popular Itchy Boots YouTube channel. What began as a solo motorcycle trip has evolved into a global journey, with Noraly riding through remote regions, wild landscapes, and across entire continents — from South America to North America, and from Europe to Africa. Her background in biology and geology adds a thoughtful layer to her travels, and when she's not riding, she calls the Netherlands home. Noraly is also the author of FREE RIDE.

When Bernd and Anchen Sass's children moved abroad, the couple decided it was time to start living the dream they had discussed for decades. In their mid-50s, they left behind stable careers and set off on motorcycles—despite Anchen having no riding experience and deep fears about learning. Over several seasons of travel, they've crossed tens of thousands of kilometres through Africa and Europe, adapting their gear, pace, and mindset along the way. In this episode, they share what it's truly like to make that kind of transition later in life, how they handle setbacks, and why travel, especially by motorcycle, has helped them rediscover a sense of purpose.
