In this episode we test the waters with a Suzuki DR350—what it really takes to turn a lightweight, simple machine into a workable mini-adventure bike, the choices (and costs) that actually matter, and a few surprises that show up on both pavement and dirt. We start with durability—mirrors and signals, featuring the Doubletake Mirror origin story with Ned Suesse—and wrap with a technique reality check on small-vs-big from Chris Birch.

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. With ride modes, you can adjust your bike's personality for pavement, gravel, mud, or rain—varying power delivery, traction control, ABS, and even suspension. 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.

In our journey of faith, we're called to move beyond merely hearing God's word to actively living it out. James 1:22-27 challenges us to put our faith into action, reminding us that true religion is not just about what we believe, but how we treat others, especially those who are vulnerable and in need. This passage encourages us to look after orphans and widows, symbolizing all those who are marginalized in society. As followers of Christ, we're invited to show God's love through our words and actions, treating everyone with dignity and compassion. This message urges us to examine our lives and ask: How can we show God's love in every situation we encounter? By doing so, we not only transform the lives of others but also deepen our own relationship with God, living out the abundant life Jesus promises.

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.

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.

But shortly after that episode aired, we heard from the other rider—Corey Speck—who says it was he who was abandoned.

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. Listen If You've Ever Wondered:Could AI become conscious?Is it possible to spiritually train a machine?Are we creating our own replacements—or our greatest allies?

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.

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.

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.
