Pack the car! Route 66 turns 100 this year, and the Mother Road is still one weird and wild ride. We're hitting the highway from the California border to the New Mexico high desert, where we'll encounter the feral donkeys who rule the streets of a gold rush boomtown, visit an abandoned zoo with a body count, and climb a 2,000-year-old pueblo with a hidden staircase that outsmarted the Spanish conquistadors. Along the way, journalist and adventurer Will Grant introduces us to the people who populate this legendary road: a Hualapai elder who remembers the highway's golden age, the determined shopkeeper who fought to preserve her town's iconic neon glow, and a young Diné man who grew up at his family's trading post. Together, they share what the centenarian route means to the communities that depend on it—and tap into the powerful hold it still has on the nation's imagination. Whether you long for an epic Western roadtrip or you're just here for the vintage kitsch, this episode will have you reaching for the keys. Where Route 66 takes us: Oatman, Arizona: Stop to cuddle the adorable baby burrows in this old mining town. Kingman, Arizona: Home to the Arizona Route 66 Museum, where Model T's roll in from Chicago and tourists arrive from around the globe. Peach Springs, Arizona: The heart of the Hualapai Nation, where the tribal market is the unofficial town square. Williams, Arizona: Vintage neon signs dot one of the most authentic main streets on the route. Two Guns, Arizona: An abandoned zoo where the murderous owner was mauled by his own mountain lions. Winslow, Arizona: The sandstone canyon where Easy Rider and The Grapes of Wrath were filmed, plus a classic Diné trading post. Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico: Dubbed Sky City, this mesa-top village is the oldest continuously inhabited community in the U.S. Guest: Will Grant Born and raised in Colorado, Will Grant brings a cowboy-philosopher's eye to the landscapes, characters, and histories that make the West unlike anywhere else on earth. After college, he worked as a cowboy and a horse trainer in Colorado, Wyoming, and Texas, where he apprenticed under the legendary horseman Jack Brainard. In 2008, he pivoted to a career in journalism, but he continues to seek out ways to combine horses and storytelling. His 2023 book, The Last Ride of the Pony Express, recounts his 2,000-mile journey along the famed mail route with his horses Chicken Fry and Badger. Other adventures include a 600-mile horse race across Mongolia, an expedition to find gold in Arizona, and two trips to Kyrgyzstan to play kok boru, the most dangerous horseback game on the planet.  For Via, Will traded his saddle for a steering wheel to investigate some of the most storied—and strangest—stretches of Route 66. His writing has also appeared in Outside magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, the Wall Street Journal, and regional publications throughout the West. Will currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his partner, Claire Antoszewski, and two dogs, three chickens, and five horses. Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.

SMU has emerged as one of the ACC's most successful programs since joining the conference, and this episode takes a deep dive into the Mustangs' rise under head coach Rhett Lashley. We discuss Lashley's impact on the program, how SMU has built a winning culture in Dallas, and why the Mustangs continue to outperform expectations despite often being overlooked in the Texas football landscape. The conversation begins with quarterback Kevin Jennings and his importance to SMU's success. We look back at the Mustangs' 2024 ACC Championship season and College Football Playoff appearance, evaluate Jennings' development, discuss the injuries that impacted his 2025 campaign, and examine what a healthy senior season could mean for SMU's championship aspirations. We also break down one of the ACC's most productive offenses. The discussion includes SMU's league-leading scoring offense, their efficiency in the red zone, the departure of key contributors such as running back Rashard Smith and wide receiver Roderick Daniels Jr., and how the Mustangs plan to replace that production heading into 2026. Defensively, we analyze a unit that quietly ranked among the ACC's best. We discuss the pass defense numbers, the ability to generate turnovers and sacks, and why SMU continues to win despite not receiving the same national attention as many of the traditional powers in college football. Finally, we preview the 2026 schedule game-by-game, discuss Vegas' 8.5-win total, and debate whether the Mustangs can return to the ACC Championship Game and potentially make another run at the College Football Playoff.

When settlers arrived on the Great Plains, communication was slow. Mail was delivered by stagecoach and took days to arrive. Mail arrived faster by Pony Express than by stagecoach. Riders galloped from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, making the journey in ten days. The Pony Express did not do well on the northern Great Plains. In 1860, the route ran from Grand Portage in Minnesota through Fargo and out to Medora. It came to a quick end when severe winter weather made the journey virtually impossible.

In 1883, Buffalo Bill's Wild West went on tour. The show combined theater, circus, and rodeo. It was inspired by Cody's experiences as a Pony Express rider and Army scout, and it romanticized an American West that was already disappearing. Spectators flocked to the show, which included a buffalo herd, sharpshooter Annie Oakley, and reenactments of stagecoach robberies. It also featured a band of Native Americans, including Chief Sitting Bull. The Native performers welcomed the chance to leave the reservation and return to riding, and they were paid as well as the white performers.

Stop Wishing for Deals and Start Winning Them.In today's episode, Scott Carson gets raw and real about the massive marketing failures he's seeing in the real estate industry. We are living in 2026, yet too many realtors and investors are still relying on "Pony Express" tactics in a high-speed digital world. If you are still trying to run a national business out of a personal Gmail account or avoiding email marketing because you "got burned" five years ago, this episode is a wake-up call you cannot afford to miss.Scott breaks down a recent experience where he handed over a thousand high-quality, skip-traced distressed leads, only to watch professional partners fail at the basic "full court press" required to close deals. Whether you're a note investor, a sub-two expert, or a realtor, your success is tied directly to your ability to communicate consistently with your tribe.What we cover in this episode:The 2026 Reality Check: Why "praying for a deal" and posting in Facebook groups isn't a marketing strategy. The Only Two Things You Own: Why your email list and your RSS feed are the only assets that protect you from being "shut down" by social media algorithms. Speed to Lead: Why the "full court press" approach—using email, text, and voice drops—is the only way to get ahead of the upcoming foreclosure wave. Smart Tool Selection: Moving beyond Gmail and the Pony Express to use CRMs that actually track open rates and delivery. The Math of Marketing: Why a $50 investment in text credits or a $100 CRM is infinitely more effective than driving across town to knock on one door. Overcoming the "No": Understanding that "no" often just means "not now," and why 48% of your competition is failing because they never follow up more than once. The Power of Educational Content: How Scott turned a 30-slide presentation into a multi-platform marketing machine that hits distressed sellers where they live . Skip Tracing Secrets: How to find 3 emails and 3 phone numbers for every lead for less than the cost of a cup of coffee. Don't let your business go the way of the smoke signal. The market is shifting, and while others are pulling back, the proactive investors are twisting their marketing to take advantage of the opportunities.

Today's episode date (April 3, 1860) will take you back to the days of the Wild West and the inauguration of the Pony Express. What else was being reported in newspapers the day the mail got a whole lot faster?SOURCES(See a full list of sources on the YouTube video of this episode.)

Der Pony Express ist eines der großen Sinnbilder des Wilden Westens: junge Reiter, halsbrecherische Ritte durch die Frontier, Posttaschen im Galopp und eine Verbindung zwischen Ost und West, die schneller war als alles zuvor. Doch hinter dem Mythos steckt ein in mehrerlei Hinsicht abenteuerliches Unterfangen... In dieser Folge sprechen Jörg und Sebastian über die Entstehung des Pony Express: seine geniale, aber äußerst fragile Logistik, den Alltag der Reiter, berühmte Anekdoten, wahre Fakten und weit verbreitete Mythen – und darüber, wie ein wirtschaftlicher Fehlschlag, dessen Betrieb gerade einmal vom 3. April 1860 bis zum 26. Oktober 1861 andauerte, trotzdem zur unsterblichen Legende werden konnte. 00:00 - Intro und Einleitung 02:33 - Der Goldrausch von Kalifornien, und die schwierige Lage der Nachrichtenvermittlung 06:22 - Die Väter des Pony Express: Russell, Majors & Waddell 10:29 - Aufbau, Planung und Logistik 18:41 - Waisen bevorzugt?

David Toland joined state and local leaders at the Hollenberg Pony Express Station to officially announce Kansas's 13th scenic byway, the Kansas Pony Express Historic Byway. The route, stretching from Doniphan County west to Washington County, was celebrated with a proclamation delivered by Pony Express riders from Laura Kelly, symbolizing the connection between Kansas history and its future. Officials including Bridgette Jobe, Patrick Zollner, and Calvin Reed highlighted the byway's role in tourism and community connectivity. Kylee Bergstrom also recognized the volunteers whose years of work helped secure the designation, noting the route's lasting impact on local communities and shared heritage.

El 3 de abril de 1860 se creó el Pony Express, un servicio de correo rápido que cruzaba Estados Unidos. Empezaba en St. Joseph (Misuri) y llegaba hasta Sacramento (California). Los mensajes se llevaban a caballo a lo largo de praderas, planicies, desiertos y montañas.

I stood in the corner of our tiny shack atop a mountain in Topanga and waited for my brother to come home. He would be there any minute and would see his beloved black lab mix, Cinder, dead under a sheet in the front yard. We'd been out riding that afternoon. My mom was on our quarterhorse Teddybear. My younger sister and I rode the twin stallion ponies, Pumpkin (mine) and Fireball (hers). It was summer. We were riding to Topanga Elementary to play in an empty schoolyard. Cinder came along. It was always hot, but that day, it was baking, and we were not prepared. All of a sudden, Cinder collapsed. My mother, in a panic, ordered my sister and me to ride our ponies to the school and bring back water. Maybe we could save her, we thought. When we finally got to the school, we scoured the trash cans and found empty milk cartons. We rinsed them, filled them, then galloped back, Pony Express-style, to where my mom was waiting. But it was too late. Cinder was gone.I don't remember much else about that day, except what happened to my brother later, when he came home. I'd never seen my tough, strong older brother cry. That was my first lesson in the unique grief of losing a dog. They call them “soul dogs” or “heart dogs” on Reddit. It's that connection you have with a special dog that will never be matched by any other. I have always hated how the internet flattens things into group ideas, but in this case, they were right. I had to let go of my soul dog, Jack, and I'll never be the same.Mind you, I didn't want to. I rationalized it many times. I even almost took him to the hospital and asked them to cut him open, remove the large cancerous mass inside of him, give him kidney dialysis, and chemo. Something, anything to keep him alive. Needles, hospital room, strangers, bright lights. That would not have been for Jack. That was for me. I couldn't do that to him.People have said, “You gave him such a happy life,” and I tried. But how do you measure the happiness of a dog? To me, Jack wanted more than anything to be free. Free of the leash. Free of doing only what I wanted him to do. Free to have maybe found a mate one time instead of having that possibility taken off the table. Free to roam, most of all, through the hills and the fields.I could not give that to him. The best I could do was make a situation for a dog with the urge to roam slightly less terrible. Oh, I suppose I could have never gotten him in the first place, waited for the ideal owner, like a rancher to pick him up. I don't know if I was Jack's ideal owner or not. I just know that he was my soul dog, for better or worse.You don't choose dogs. They choose you. I'd pulled into a gas station near the Four Corners of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico en route to the Telluride Film Festival in 2014 when I looked down, and there was a furry little wolfen creature, redheaded, with bright green eyes staring up at me, and was that a smile? He already knew how to ask for food, and I was happy to oblige. Only I didn't want to just feed the dog. I wanted to rescue him. I don't know why, exactly. It felt like a calling. He was redheaded, like my pony Pumpkin. He had green eyes like mine. But it was his sweet disposition that meant it was love at first sight, even if I didn't know it yet.I told my daughter and her friend, both named Emma, to go get some dog food because we were taking this dog. When I turned around, he had crawled away and hidden under a trailer, but a woman pulled him out and handed him to me. That sealed Jack's fate, to be rescued by city girls. Jack wasn't going to be my dog at first. My daughter's friend wanted him, but her parents said no. That night, as the girls hung out in their basement room and I was cooking a roast chicken, I heard little feet tap-tap-tapping up the stairs, and there he was again, smiling up at me, wanting food. Okay, little pup, I thought, I guess I'm a dog person now.“Don't take him if you can't keep him,” my younger sister warned. I knew what she meant. She'd thought I'd abandon Jack if some guy wanted me to, as I'd done once before when I was too stupid to know better. The dog went to my mom, who doted on her, but still. It sent the message that I couldn't be trusted with a dog. We had three cats already, but dogs weren't allowed in our apartment in North Hollywood. When they found out, I was ordered to get rid of Jack. So we split to Burbank. I also broke up with a boyfriend over my dog. Sorry, I made my choice, and there was no going backFour years later, we finally adopted a friend for him because he hated being alone, and my daughter Emma was leaving for college. We had a hard time choosing and were about to leave the shelter when a volunteer came out, holding a tiny, terrified terrier-poodle mix. She'd been there two weeks, and no one wanted her. How could we say no? It felt like another kind of calling.Her name was Pippa, but we changed it to Luna, and though she looks desperately sad in that photo, she bloomed, and Jack and Luna became a happy, bonded pair, and the three of us were inseparable until the day Jack died. Thursday, March 19, 2026. But that's not to say Jack was easy. He wasn't. I didn't train him properly because I never wanted to change his personality. I didn't want an obedient dog. I wanted this dog. But that meant he could be quite obstinate when he wanted to go in a different direction from me. It got worse as he got older, when he became a grumpy old dog. He would pull just to pull, and much of the time I'd give in, except when I couldn't, and sometimes I couldn't.He also could not eat his food in a bowl like other dogs. It had to be on a flat surface, and he would scatter the kibble all across the floor before lying down to eat it. Yes, I spoiled him, and responsible dog owners would not approve.It could have been worse. He could be a growler or a biter, but this dog did not have an aggressive bone in his body. He was sweet and gentle, the nicest dog I've ever met. He made friends with everyone, dogs, cats, and people.I don't think it really occurred to him what his life would be like until he got older. But I think once he figured it out that this was really it, a life on a leash, walking through neighborhoods, occasionally running free, I think he got grumpier, more obstinate, and he pulled on his leash harder, and it became a battle of wills. Sometimes I was angry and annoyed at him. Now those moments come flooding back with an enormous sense of guilt. How could I have ever thought of being annoyed at him for even one second? Maybe I'm projecting. Maybe he never figured it out. Maybe he never thought about it. He just knew he was frustrated with how much pain he was in and with how limited his life had become, and there was nothing I could do to change that for him or fix it.I always wished he could speak. I always wanted to talk to him, “Remember when I found you at the Four Corners? Remember how much you loved running in the sand at the beach? Remember rolling in the snow? Remember the motels and the road trips? Remember how you liked to chase the ball? Remember driving into a blizzard? Remember getting stranded in the sand after I took a wrong turn and how we had to be towed out?Remember how you would wimper when we drove to the airport to pick up my daughter Emma because you were so happy to see her? Remember how you herded us and we all had to leave the apartment at the same time, or you would keep looking for the one that was missing.Remember all the friends you made in every neighborhood we lived in? Remember the horse we used to feed that wanted to be friends with you because everyone wanted to be friends with you.Where would you like to go today? The park? The field? The hills? And I know what his answer would be. He would wag his tail and be ready to go. When he could no longer jump into the car, I got him stairs. When the stairs became too hard, I got him a ramp. Where does it hurt, Jack? Tell me where the pain is. Tell me where to check. Tell me when you need to go to the vet. Talk to me. But all he could do was signal to me with his body, his behavior, and his eyes, and I was not paying close enough attention. There's the guilt again. Could I have helped him if we'd caught it sooner? I don't know. Our long walks through town and our hikes began to slow down last year, and he could only make it around the block. Then, just this past week, he could barely make it down the street, and then, barely from the car to the front door.It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, making the call to end his life. It was time for him to go, and I knew I had to grim up and face the music. He'd gone off his food for two weeks. He threw up even baby food, and then he couldn't keep down water. He could barely breathe.I would hear him wretching in the middle of the night and find him stuck under the table, his body completely cold, and I kept thinking any minute he would take his last breath, but he somehow held on.Jack turned into a different dog in the last moments of his life, and for some reason, this breaks my heart the most. Gone was the willful, obstinate, slightly annoying dog who sometimes made our daily walks frustrating. In his weakened state, he went wherever I wanted him to go. He came when I called him. Every night, almost, he disappeared into the back yard because he knew he was dying. And every night I went outside with a flashlight to call him back in, and he would come, just like a normal dog. He was doing it for me, I realize now, even at his own expense.Everywhere I look, there is Jack. The green grass that I know he would want to roll in. The rib bones, I know, he would want to chew. The drives I know he would want to take. The dog beds I bought that still sit untouched in a pile on the patio. And the gravel that he could never pass without lying down in. This is grief. This is what it means to lose a soul dog. I know I loved him too much. I was prepared for almost everything except saying goodbye. I want to tell you everything about him, to remember everywhere we went and every cute thing he ever did, like how, when he signaled to me that he couldn't get off the couch to get a drink of water, I would lift the bowl for him. When the droplets hit his paw, he had to gently clean them off. I don't know why, but that one thing he's always done crushes my heart.I can't possibly tell you of our adventures together, how close we were, and how hard it is now for Luna to walk alone. She lies down near Jack's spot because she still senses his presence, as do I. I keep smelling his fur, which might sound weird, but I loved how Jack smelled. It was like the smell of a baby. You recognize it. I did not want to let him go. I wanted to be selfish and keep him around until he died on his own, but my younger sister, who once warned me not to take him if I could not keep him, told me that he's shown up for me, and now it's time for me to show up for him. Holding him, petting him, brushing him because I'd been doing that every day for a week, and then saying goodbye to him as the poison was injected into his beautiful, tiny, spotted paw, then waiting for his heart to stop felt like falling into a deep well - into a world without color, without joy. My soul dog was my constant companion for 12 too-short years. Now I try to see his soul - which was never mine - as finally free.I still think I hear him, especially at night. I hear his panting or his breathing, how he would sigh, letting out all his air, before he settled in to sleep. I would hear him pacing and circling before he lay down. I always knew where he was. And he was never far.I pray that he visits me in my dreams. I pray that he's the first thing I see when I get to Heaven.Run, my beautiful dog, my precious heart, my Happy Jack, my Buddy. Be obstinate and annoying. Be your perfect, wonderful self because now you are finally free. // This is a public episode.

John is "The Voice in My Helmet" on Instagram, but there is so much more to this story.  What if a single ride could reset your sense of time, place, and what truly matters? We sit down with John Gorley from eastern New Mexico—yes, the neighbor down the dirt road where the stars burn bright—to trace a journey that moves from Route 66 nostalgia to the modern meaning of riding for peace, love, and presence. This isn't a gear checklist or a speed brag. It's a story of how two wheels can carry us into deeper connection with each other and the land.We start with small towns and big skies, then zoom into the centennial energy around Route 66 and what happens when interstates bypass history. John's Honda Goldwing becomes a quiet hero: a machine so smooth it disappears, leaving the ride to do the talking. The heart beats loudest during a father-daughter trip that runs Albuquerque to Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas, then drops into Death Valley where June heat boils gas and vapor-lock forces a hard stop. Less than a day later, they're above 12,000 feet in Yosemite, playing in snow. In between, there's ice cream, laughter after a parking lot tip-over, Highway 1's cliffs, the Avenue of the Giants' humbling scale, and the eerie beauty of Nevada's Highway 50, the loneliest road with Pony Express ghosts and a horizon that never seems to arrive.“The voice in my helmet” isn't a brand—it was his daughter, the navigator, the companion who turned miles into meaning. When she said he'd miss that voice, she named a feeling every rider knows: the way presence sounds when you're truly in it. John now uses that phrase on Instagram to share short, unscripted notes from the road—sunrises, quiet encouragement, and reminders to notice the light. We talk about why positivity matters, how riding can dissolve worry, and why gratitude grows when we choose the slow road, the older route, the scenic pass. Colorado's Million Dollar Highway, Silverton's night silence after the last steam train departs, and the Cumbres and Toltec line add texture to the map and proof that wonder is a renewable resource.If you crave stories that honor small places, reliable bikes, family bonds, and the simple joy of stepping outside, this one's for you. Hit play, ride with us through heat and snow, and rediscover the peace that waits on the other side of the next bend. If it resonates, subscribe, share with a riding friend, and leave a review to help others find the road.

Adventure riding has a strange relationship with risk. We prepare, carry tools, research routes, ride with friends, and do everything we can to stack the odds in our favour on adventure motorcycle rides. But every now and then, something appears that wasn't on the map or in the plan, and it shows up faster than we can process it. In those moments, the problem isn't just the obstacle itself, but what happens next. This story takes place on a remote stretch of Nevada's historic Pony Express Trail, a well-known backcountry route for adventure riders—experienced riders, familiar terrain, and a route travelled for generations. It's the kind of ride where preparation feels like it should be enough, until it isn't, and decisions suddenly matter in ways you don't expect when riding far from help.

Not many of us would accept a job that risked life and limb, but for a brief moment in time, young men did just that - just to carry the mail. It may have only been in operation for 18 months, but the legacy of the Pony Express has lasted generations. A 2,000 mile horseback ride from Missouri to California posed risks of all kinds, but with no telegraph wires or trains connecting the coasts, brave men and their trusty steeds stepped up and battled the elements, warring nations and each other to keep the nation connected.

Edward Ford and Alan Chiasson came to Afghanistan with long résumés in uniform and out. Ford was a Force Recon Marine with combat tours in the Gulf War, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan before moving into high-end security contracting. Chiasson was a Navy Hospital Corpsman and Texas paramedic who'd spent years providing high-risk medical support on PSD and convoy details in Iraq and Afghanistan. When the private security firm SOC (Special Operations Consulting) expanded its mobile operations in Afghanistan, both men ended up on armored Ford F-550 gun trucks running some of the most dangerous roads in the country. At first, their teams hauled critical supplies—ammo, fuel, food, equipment—to isolated Special Forces sites and small outposts the regular military couldn't cover. Then SOC picked up the Department of Defense contract to move something that sounded almost ordinary: the mail. Ford, Chiasson, and their teammates suddenly became the unofficial “Pony Express” of Afghanistan, hauling letters and care packages from Kabul and Bagram along the notorious Ring Road to places like Ghazni, Sharana, Orgun-E, and tiny dirt compounds with nothing but Hesco walls and a few tents. Troops took the mail for granted; few ever thought about the chain of convoys and gun trucks that got a letter from a stateside mailbox to a cot in Kandahar. Postcards Through Hell tells that story from the inside. The “Pony Express” ran four teams in a three-on, one-off rotation so three could be on the road at any time. One team took the long hauls, another ran the shorter Kabul ring route while standing QRF, and a third trained, refit, and got ready to swap in. A “good” day might mean an 18-hour, thousand-kilometer push with no major incidents—what they jokingly called the “Thousand Kilometer Club.” Most days weren't like that. They drove flat-bottom F-550s with level-seven armor and twin turrets, strong against small arms but vulnerable to anything placed directly underneath. Once the Taliban figured out that weakness, a well-buried mine or IED under the chassis could flip a truck or tear it in half. The book is anchored in specific days and events. Ford saved incident reports, op orders, and run paperwork; Chiasson kept a journal. Together they rebuilt a timeline that lets them write, “On April 30 we were here; on May 1 this happened,” instead of “sometime that spring.” Around those convoy stories they layer the wider war: the Camp Chapman suicide bombing; Special Forces “kill teams” at outposts like Ramrod; Italian forces paying the Taliban not to attack them, which meant somebody else—often the Pony Express—became the target. They were there when other contractor convoys got hit, when friends died in F-550s blown apart by stacked anti-tank mines, and when gun trucks limped back into Kabul with wounded men inside and burned-out hulks left behind on the road. Their daily life was built around a simple idea: keep your brothers alive. When they weren't running missions, they were on QRF. When they weren't on QRF, they were working out. When they weren't working out, they were training. They ate together, lived on top of each other in cramped villas and compounds, and used the long Afghan “fighting season”—April through October—to sort out who really belonged there. The easy-sounding mail run weeded people out fast. Some new hires lasted one fighting season, some one mission, some one week. Others stayed for years, until they hit what Ford calls “the wall”—that private moment when you look at a body on a slab, or feel age and accumulated blast damage catching up with you, and decide it's time to go home. Postcards Through Hell doesn't ignore the business side of contracting. Ford and Chiasson talk frankly about companies weighing the cost of vehicle upgrades against death-benefit payouts, replacing seasoned expatriate drivers with cheaper local nationals, and relying on Afghan “expediters” whose loyalties sometimes ran in more than one direction.  The story doesn't end when the convoys stop. The contract itself ran, under different companies, into 2016, and Ford and Chiasson had to cut whole chapters from the book because of classified work and units involved.  At heart, Postcards Through Hell is a book about a very unglamorous, absolutely vital piece of America's longest war.  We're grateful to UPMC for Life  for sponsoring this event!

Some hauntings leave you frozen in fear. Others leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about life—and death. The first story takes us to the windswept plains of Pueblo, Colorado, where an old Pony Express ranch hides a dark secret. For generations, locals have whispered about the ghost of a gambler who was shot after cheating in a card game. His spirit, trapped in restless fury, still walks the stairs at night—boots echoing, spurs clinking, each step a reminder that the Wild West never truly died. When Sunny and her friend stayed in a room beneath those stairs, they didn't just hear the legend… they heard him. Then, in California, another listener's story turns haunting into wonder. While remembering friends lost to tragedy, she watched as dozens of golden orbs filled the room—glowing, swirling, alive. Her friend couldn't see them, but could feel the overwhelming presence of something sacred… as if their loved ones had come home one last time. From ghostly footsteps on old wood to celestial lights dancing in the air, this episode proves that the paranormal isn't always about fear—it's about connection. #trueghoststory #realghoststoriesonline #hauntedhouse #paranormalactivity #ghostencounters #realhaunting #wildwestghost #spiritvisitation #supernatural #hauntedranch Love real ghost stories?

Send us a textA single Saturday in 1966 changed everything. When a young Ed Rahill paused lawn duty to hear the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the radio, endurance racing planted a seed that would grow into record-setting coast-to-coast drives, a fearless corporate career, and a blueprint for living with grit. We go beyond the spectacle to explore how planning, patience, and partnership carry you through the stretches no one posts on highlight reels.Ed maps the unlikely bridge between CFO and president roles and the “last great American road race,” weaving in a vivid history of endurance—from the Pony Express and thousand-mile cattle drives to the first cross-country auto challenge in 1904. The stories are cinematic: arrests in multiple states, an all-points bulletin, clandestine support from GM engineers, and the relentless math of speed, fuel, and fatigue. Yet the real takeaway is strategic: choose the right teammate, build redundancy, respect the road, and recover fast when everything breaks at once.At the heart of this conversation is a promise. Raised by women who sacrificed their dreams, Ed vowed to break that pattern and treat life as a relay. The baton metaphor runs through every chapter—start strong, absorb the hits, and hand off hard-won wisdom so the next runner goes farther. He shares the razor‑thin moment when a handshake with Blackstone saved his company and his team, reminding us that survival is often the doorway to impact. The message is simple and powerful: you have the right to try, the duty to prepare, and the calling to pass your gains forward.If stories of resilience, leadership under fire, and American car culture light you up, you'll find both adrenaline and guidance here. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a push, and leave a review telling us the toughest mile you've ever run—what baton are you carrying next?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!
