There are two main reasons I started a podcast. I was encouraged by another pharmacist podcaster.  My podcast is a business tool.   Mentioned in this episode Medipreneurs Conference is a business conference for pharmacist entrepreneurs and healthcare entrepreneurs. Dr. Erin L. Albert is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and podcaster. Dave Jackson and The School of Podcasting (course and podcast) So, You Want to Start a Podcast:  Finding Your Voice, Telling Your Story, and Building a Community That Will Listen by Kristen Meinzer At the 2nd Medipreneurs Conference (Asheville, NC) in April 2019, Dr. Erin L. Albert gave a talk about becoming a thought leader through writing and publishing.  She also mentioned that podcasting can help you become a thought leader.  Dr. Albert encouraged me to start a podcast.  That was 14 months ago, and I barely knew what a podcast was.  I barely listened to them either.  Audiobooks were more my thing.  That has changed!  Now, I listen to both!  I don’t know that I ever would have looked into podcasting if it weren’t for Dr. Albert.  I didn’t understand how podcasting could help my career, and I didn’t know how to start a podcast.   Why start a podcast then?  When a successful pharmacist entrepreneur gives you advice, it’s important to at least consider it.  Plus, I wanted to see if Dr. Albert was right.  Should I start a podcast?   The second reason why I started a podcast has to do with my business, The Pharmacist’s Voice.  When I tried to connect podcasting and being a thought leader to my business, it didn’t make sense.  It didn’t fit because I’m so early in my voiceover career.  How can I be a thought leader already?  But, I kept an open mind and researched podcasting more.  Eventually, I learned that I could use my podcast as a business tool.  I learned how to podcast from Dave Jackson and his online course The School of Podcasting in October 2019.  I built the podcast in November, and I launched it on December 4.  Because I already knew how to record, edit, and produce audio from my voiceover industry training, building a podcast using Dave Jackson’s process was pretty straightforward.  All I had to come up with a name, a format, and the other details. (This episode won’t dig into all those details.) If you are interested in starting a podcast, I would recommend doing three things.   Join The School of Podcasting Listen to The School of Podcasting Podcast Read Kristen Meinzer’s book, So, You Want to Start a Podcast:  Finding Your Voice, Telling Your Story, and Building a Community That Will Listen.  GREAT BOOK! There is more than one podcast format.  Examples include roundtables, daily news, list shows, advice shows, recap shows, documentary shows, fiction shows, and more.  One day,  I heard about journey-style podcasts.  That’s a format using story to tell how they got from point A to point B and what they learned.  In my case, I was on a journey from pharmacist to voice actor.  It was easy to pick the journey-style format for my podcast.  A journey-style podcast would allow me to share how I used my voice as a pharmacist, where my journey took me, who I met along the way, and how they use their voices too.  It was a great choice for me.   The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast is a podcast, not a statue.  Down the road, I could change the format of the podcast to something else, like an advice show.  What I learned from both Dave Jackson and Kristen Meinzer’s book is that I can use my podcast to get the word out about my business!  I’m a pharmacist, voice actor, and audiobook narrator.  When I put that out into the world on a podcast, I position myself as those things for the world to see.  That’s how it’s a business tool.  I may have accidentally become a thought leader too.  People interested in doing what I do contact me all the time.     During my career - both pharmacy and voiceover - I have met all kinds of great people.  I use my interview shows every other week to help them share how they use their voice as well.  Here are 11 examples.   Episode 3, Tom Titkemeier, my uncle who introduced me to the profession of pharmacy Episode 5, Harold Kinker was my first boss at Walgreens Episode 7, Nate Kehlmeier is a friend from the Wood County Addiction Task Force Episode 9, Dr. Asha Bohannon is a friend and pharmacist entrepreneur who I met at the first ever Medipreneurs Conference in 2018. Episode 11, Sue Paul and Michelle Fritsch, co-founders of the Medipreneurs Conference Episode 13, Dr. Bruce Berger, motivational interviewing expert who I met through the Medipreneurs organization Episode 15, Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin, a counseling psychologist and author I met on LinkedIn.  She’s an expert on Imposter Syndrome, which I struggle with. Episode 17, Dave Bitkowski, an Ohio pharmacist entrepreneur and rare disease advocate Episode 19, Patty Weltin, rare disease advocate and Founder and CEO of Beyond the Diagnosis Episode 21, Longhaulpaul also known as Paul Pelland, a NH man with MS who is increasing MS awareness through long-distance motorcycling.   Episode 23, Dr. Anna Garrett, hormone expert and author of Perimenopause:  The Savvy Sister’s Guide to Hormone Harmony.   This is episode 24, and my next four interview shows are all planned out.  Let me tell you about them.    Episode 25 will be next Friday, July 3, 2020.  My guest is Dr. Muhammad Umar Hafeez, a pharmacist with an MBA living in Abu Dhabi, which is located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).  He is a telepharmacy advocate, and his practice sites include oil rigs (both onshore and offshore), remote sites in the desert, deep sea platforms, oil barges, and natural and man-made islands in the Arabian Gulf.   Episode 27 will be Friday, July 17, 2020.  My guest will be Dr. Wendy Stephan, Ph.D.  She’s educator and epidemiologist with South Florida’s poison control center. Episode 29 will be on Friday, July 31, 2020.  Dr. Jerrica Dodd will be my guest.  She is a pharmacist entrepreneur.  We met in April 2018 at the first Medipreneurs Conference in Asheville, North Carolina. Episode 31 will be on Friday, August 14, 2020.  My guest will be Dr. Allie Xu, a registered pharmacist from Australia.  She is a holistic health and life coach specializing in emotional intelligence and the mind-body connection.   In closing, I started my podcast because I was encouraged by another pharmacist podcaster, and I wanted to use my podcast as a business tool.   I’m happy with how my podcast turned out.  I get to share my journey.  No one else has the exact same set of variables in their life that I have.  I have a husband and two kids who I build my voiceover career around.  3 months ago, COVID changed life as we know it.  The job I planned to do “in the margins” when my kids were at school got interrupted.  I suddenly had to home school my kids.  My husband lost his job May 1.  I worked on my voiceover business full-time until my husband started interviewing for jobs again.  It’s life; it’s interesting; and it’s my journey!   The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast has listeners in 39 US states and 23 countries.  Thank you for reading the show notes!

Today’s episode is an interview with Longhaulpaul, also known as Paul Pelland.  He’s a New Hampshire man with Multiple Sclerosis.  Longhaulpaul combines his passion for riding motorcycles with his story and life experiences to help other people and make a difference in the world.   I invited Longhaulpaul to be on the podcast because he uses his voice as a patient advocate and educates audiences about MS.  He also entertains audiences with world-record-breaking feats that raise money for MS charities. Longhaulpaul is on a Million Mile Journey CHASING THE CURE for Multiple Sclerosis.  Fighting an often devastating and disabling diagnosis the only way he knew how, Paul Longhaulpaul Pelland is truly riding for his life.  He’s attempting to document a million miles on a motorcycle as he raises awareness and funds for Multiple Sclerosis.  As a patient advocate, he shares his story at MS educational events and fundraisers.  And, as a long distance rider, he presents entertaining and motivational seminars for motorcyclists and the general public across the United States.  He organizes annual motorcycle fundraisers and writes for Ability magazine.  Over the last seven years, he set three world records, rode 400,000 miles, and raised over $180,000 for charity.

Paul found a way to use his story and his experiences in life to help other people and make a difference in the world. Paul said, “Find something you love to do in your life and make that more important than your disease.”  People keep the worry and give away the fun.  Everyone needs to have something they love to do.  A passion.  Do it, or think about it.  It’s your “happy place.”  If you can’t do what you love, find something new you can be passionate about, and do it.  It will make you happy. Paul coined the term, MotoMedicine.  MotoMedicine promotes the social and therapeutic benefits of riding motorcycles.   Riding a motorcycle makes Paul feel more (with his senses).  You can forget your troubles while on a bike.  You concentrate on just riding:  the sights, smells, and sounds that are part of the ride. Longhaulpaul’s first bike on his million-mile journey was nicknamed “Cure Chaser One.”  It had 140,000 miles on it and is now in the Barber Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama.  “Cure Chaser 3” was donated by Yamaha.  It’s 1.5 years old and has more than 100K miles!  Cure Chaser 4 just came into the picture!  See his social media posts for updates.   Paul wants to ride a motorcycle from CA to HI.  He needs a yacht or a cruise ship!  If you can help, let him know!   Longhaulpaul has 3 World Records, and all 3 were fundraisers for MS charities.   Drove 1000 miles on a total 100 different motorcycles in 24 hours Drove more than 2,000 miles in one calendar day, which was 28 hours (including 3 different time zones and a time change the day of the time change (Nov 6) Drove a motorcycle for 24 hours straight on an indoor motorcycle treadmill   You can help Longhaulpaul with his Million Mile Journey and support MS Charities!

Long Haul Paul, aka Paul Pelland, shares the story about his experience in the 2001 Iron Butt Rally riding a Ural in the Hopeless Class. (Without the side car...because that would have been nuts...)Maybe at some later date we'll talk to him about the 2003 Iron Butt Rally where he finished 9th.

This is a very special session we did about riding motorcycles and mental health. Many people have struggles in life, and getting on a motorcycle and going for a ride can be a breath of fresh air, or in some situations, a lifeline. Members of our own community come together to share their situations and stories of how important riding is to them. We are also joined by Paul Pelland who is riding a million miles with Multiple Sclerosis. Please check out his page at longhaulpaul.com.

OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER WEBSITE: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-In this episode we dive into the true life story of a very remarkable Law Abiding Biker.  Paul Pelland, also known as "Long Haul Paul", has a truly amazing story and he shares everything with me in this interview. You won't want to miss this biker podcast episode of true inspiration and dedication.  I learned that Paul Pelland is an absolute machine and force to be reckoned with in spite of the fact that in 2005 he was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). He didn't let that stop him from being a biker and he made it his life's mission to ride his motorcycle a million miles in his fight to bring awareness to MS.  It is called "Paul Pelland's Endless Road Tour".  In addition, he is driving efforts to raise money for MS research and to find a cure! The inaugural 2013 MS5000 ride was a great successful fundraiser.  45 riders collectively rode 200,000 miles while raising $23,000 for Multiple Sclerosis.  Anyone can enter the MS5000 event and you ride the miles you can to support the National MS Society. The reason for this Law Abiding Biker Podcast Episode is because of a loyal listener's email.  He made me aware of Paul Pelland and his mission.  I want to thank Quentin Lewis of Leicester, MA for the following email: "You probably don't know me (except for some dumb comments on FB as one of your podcast listeners), but I wanted to introduce you to Paul Pelland, known as "Long Haul Paul", because he was an Iron Butt rally guy in a prior life.....I say prior life because that was before he was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Anyways.....he has made it his mission to ride for MS, and he is working on what he calls his "Million Miles for a Cure". Paul has organized the MS5000, and it is a ride that any of us can make where we will ride 5000 miles in 50 days. (Or for those of us unable to make that distance, a combination of miles and money.....because after all, this is actually a fun way for us riders to raise money for the cause and have a good excuse to ride!) You can learn more about him here: http://www.longhaulpaul.com. I am not connected with Paul, but I did see his talk at last years Americade, and found him to be a real rider who is trying to use his abilities to raise money for a good cause.  Anyways, I suggest you contact him for an interview.....he is a great guy, and I am sure he would love to get people involved with his MS5000 ride."
