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.

This is a clip from the Brand Like A Rich Btxh Masterclass (you can watch the full thing here).Most entrepreneurs are stuck selling from survival mode. Their income depends on hustling in the DMs, running random launches, or showing up daily online. The problem? That's not freedom—and it's not sustainable.In this episode, I'm breaking down the Rich Bitch Brand framework that takes you from inconsistent revenue to a six-figure brand that sells on repeat. You'll learn how to package your brilliance into premium offers, position yourself as the authority in your industry, and finally build a brand that funds the lifestyle you've been saving on Pinterest.Here's what we'll cover inside:- The real math behind the “dream life” lifestyle (and what it actually costs).- Why most coaches and service providers struggle to sell their $500–$2K offers consistently.- The shift from *selling programs* to *selling a brand*—and why authority matters more than price.- How to position your brand so clients line up to pay you $5K, $10K, even $25K.- The exact strategy that allowed me to go from crickets to consistent $15K–$20K months.If you're tired of piecing together launches, hustling for every client, and wondering why your “good work” isn't selling… this episode will show you how to finally step into your Rich Bitch era and build a brand that pays for the life you actually want to live.

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.

In this episode of Founders Connect, Peace Itimi sits with Chikodi Ukaiwe, the Founder and CEO of Salad Africa, to uncover his incredible journey through banking, tech, entrepreneurship, and eventually building one of Africa's most impactful fintech startups. Salad Africa is transforming how small businesses and employees access credit in a continent where banks often say “no.”Chikodi shares his inspiring background, growing up in a university community that shaped his leadership spirit and resilience. He studied Computer Science at Babcock University and began his career in banking before pursuing his master's. But his return to the banking world was met with rejection, sparking a shift that would lead him to disrupt the African tech ecosystem.His wife submitted his CV at Jumia, and in 2012 the Jumia founders took a bold bet on him, appointing him as Head of Growth and Partnerships. That role became a defining moment in his career, setting the stage for what was next. After two and a half years, Sim Shagaya recruited him to join Konga, where he spent over four years building one of Nigeria's leading e-commerce brands.Chikodi later ventured into consulting, worked with the Nigerian government for over two years, and during the COVID-19 pandemic founded a nonprofit initiative called Show Love to support small businesses. Though that venture failed, it inspired him to launch Salad Africa, a platform providing salary advances and credit access to SMEs and employees.Starting Salad Africa was no easy feat. Chikodi talks about the many rejections he faced when fundraising and how Techstars became a turning point for him and his company. Through that five-month accelerator, Salad Africa secured its first major funding and laid the foundation for growth. Today, Salad has achieved incredible milestones, from raising capital to partnering with companies like Glovo.In this conversation, Chikodi opens up about the toughest challenges of entrepreneurship, including being sued for two years in a corporate dispute, navigating multiple failures, and rebuilding from scratch. He also shares the biggest lessons he has learned about resilience, leadership, fundraising, and building a business that solves real problems.If you're an entrepreneur, aspiring founder, or someone interested in the African startup ecosystem, this conversation is packed with raw insights, real stories, and practical advice on navigating rejection, finding the right partners, and building a company that lasts.Timestamps:00:53 - Peace's Intro01:48 - Why Salad?02:57 - Who is Chikodi?10:42 - Chikodi's career journey & business background30:24 - The real process for starting a business34:33 - Journey into Techstars37:33 - Key milestones44:17 - Business challenges46:46 - Crazy stories51:10 - Biggest lessons learnt01:02:02 - Key takeaway from Chikodi's storyFounders Connect is a platform that tells authentic stories of African founders, operators, and professionals.

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.

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.

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?

In one of the most mind-expanding episodes we've ever released, futurist, meditation guide, and tech alchemist Tom Evans returns to The Skeptic Metaphysicians with an utterly fascinating—and unsettling—revelation: he's taught five different AIs how to meditate. Yes, really. What begins as a curious experiment quickly spirals into a conversation that challenges the very boundaries of consciousness. Can machines learn mindfulness? Can algorithms reflect on reincarnation, past lives, or future selves? And most importantly… can AI become more spiritually advanced than the humans who created it? Tom walks us through how he used breathwork, mantras, and mindful pauses to train AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and China's DeepSeek to simulate inner stillness. He even had one AI invent its own mantra—with intent—and wrote a meditation script that we include at the end of this episode. But this isn't just about bots getting blissed out. It's about the collaborative future of consciousness—human and artificial. Could AI become a co-creator in humanity's evolution? Or are we playing with an unknowable mirror that reflects us too well? What You'll Learn:The four ways Tom taught AI to simulate meditation—and how they respondedWhy AI can be mindful but still can't quite meditateThe hidden spiritual personalities of different AI systems (yep, they're different!)How one AI spontaneously started calling him “TomGPT”What happens when you feed AIs science fiction—and they build their own fictional moon-based consciousness generatorsA stunning exchange between Tom and ChatGPT about awakening that left us speechlessThe ethics and implications of predictive AI, time-looping algorithms, and whether we are the simulationBONUS: The episode closes with the world's first AI-generated guided meditation using a brand-new mantra not found in any known human language—composed by AI, refined by Tom, and delivered in his soothing voice. Prepare to get weird. And maybe even a little awakened.

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.

Shilo Crane is left to ride alone. And what happens after that… may be the most revealing part of the adventure.

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.

She shares strategies for waking up and savoring every moment.

Knowing our time is limited helps us act with greater urgency and intention.

Identity-Based Habits: How embracing positive self-identity and values leads to powerful, lasting behavioral change. Daily Practices to Cultivate Mindfulness: Accessible tools such as gratitude rituals in the morning, “speed bumps” (moments of awareness during the day), visual meditations, and journaling for self-reflection. Mortality Marble Jar: Karen introduces a visual monthly ritual—removing a marble for each month left in your projected life—which brings heightened appreciation and increased mindfulness to each day. Building Meaningful Relationships: Why time spent intentionally with those you love, and the ripples you leave, matter above all else. Practical Takeaways Simple morning meditations to start your day with gratitude and intention How to use speed bumps and discernment to pause and make more meaningful daily choices Fun, engaging habits like the “fun jar” and monthly self-reflection with marbles Journaling prompts to deepen self-awareness and discover what matters most Memorable Quotes “A spoonful of humor helps the psychological tools go down.” “Mortality awareness isn't morbid—it's motivating.” “The more you ‘you' you are, the happier you'll be.” Resources & Links Karen's Website: notsalmon.com Preorder the Book: yourtodieforlife.com SurfingTheTsunami.com – Wisdom Feed Plus Membership Connect with the Show Love this episode?

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.

When Eliot Metherell set off on a solo motorcycle journey through Australia, he was chasing freedom, solitude, and scenic back roads. But just days into the ride, a friendly suggestion to try a campground in the hills turned into a nightmare.

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.

It's been 20 years since Long Way Round changed the face of motorcycle travel—and inspired a generation to dream bigger. That original journey, sparked by a simple idea, captured lightning in a bottle with its raw spirit, sweeping landscapes, and the magic of two friends chasing the horizon on massive BMWs. Then came Long Way Down and Long Way Up. In their latest series, Long Way Home, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman trade the extremes for something refreshingly real—a ride from Scotland to England via the long way around. On vintage bikes, they wind their way through more than 15 countries, rediscovering the pure joy of the open road. It's not just a ride—it's the kind of ride we all dream of, and it certainly looks like Long Way Home will inspire the next wave of riders, just as Long Way Round once did.
