I sit down with professional cyclist and soon-to-be plumber Eamon Lucas—a guy whose story blends world-class racing, community roots, personal faith, and the kind of self-reflection most people never talk about publicly.

Eamon and I dive into what shaped him—growing up in Pacific Grove, the influence of his father, and the untraditional path that took him from local riding to battling in the Belgian Kermesse scene. We talk about what “making it” really means, why so many endurance athletes struggle with identity, and how rare it is to walk away from a sport feeling complete.

We explore faith, what it means to actually enjoy your own company, and the uncomfortable emotional work required to truly like yourself. Eamon talks about transitioning from pro cycling into plumbing, surfing as therapy, building a life with his partner, and embracing the next season with humility and purpose.
