    Episode 14 with Lawrence “Lew” Lewis (@mrclutchfilms). Lew has been in the power sports world longer than I have been alive and worked alongside the great Jeremy McGrath - filming him and pushing him to be better and better. Lew has managed to strike a great balance in his life with work and passions and has seen it all. Lew has seen the evolution of social media and media production from film to now and has some interesting thoughts on how it’s going. These perspectives and observations influence how he’s approached parenting and has a fascinating story. Lew even brought to my attention a take on car distractions I hadn’t even thought of before. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Lew!

    Episode 13 with Dustin Jones (@dustinbattleacejones). Dustin not only sat down for this interview, but he showed me local Louisiana cuisine, his beautiful shop, and why he loves his job as a UTV racer. He’s not only a really kind guy, but he’s really tall. And full of energy and passion for both what he does and helping make our roads safer. Tune in to our chat from outside the bayou in America’s south on this episode of Eyes Up | Maxxis.

    Episode 12 with Donn Maeda (@swapmoto). I had an excellent and deep dive conversation with Donn, avid cyclist, journalist, and host of @swapmotolive. We talk from everything from how he went from pen and paper on the sidelines of Motocross races in his teens to how eating burgers are just as distracting as our phones in the car. Donn’s perspective on life and what he values is refreshing and grounding - listen in and enjoy!

    Bonus episode with Nick Tokman (@nicktokman). If you’ve ever seen the show Deadliest Catch, chances are you’ve seen Nick “Sunshine” Tokman on the Time Bandit. After a few seasons on the show, Nick pivoted to pursue his dream of becoming a public speaker. Back in January, I was lucky enough to spend a day with Nick at his home in northern Connecticut to learn what a day in the life of a youth speaker is like when not on stage changing the lives of young people. I learned so much from him - he’s been in the business for more than seven years now and has created success for himself and loves what he does. I can’t thank Nick enough for taking the time to teach me first hand and to sit down and chat about his career and his relationship to technology, social media, and distractions in the car. Enjoy this one!

    Episode 10 with Evelyn Dong (@evelynd11). Evelyn was a bonus interview in this series - we were connected by a good friend of mine who used to coach with Evelyn.

She does what she loves and has managed to figure out a healthy balance with some of the things required of her as a pro in the MTB space. We met in Park City, Utah, where she’s seen the impact of social media on younger people first hand. Listen in!

    Episode 9 with Wyatt and Landen Brown (@subzerobuggy). Hailing from a small town in Oklahoma, this duo sure is unique.

They both share stories from getting to this point and their own perspectives on technology and how it helps and can hurt. Listen in and enjoy!

About Eyes Up Life

From the publisher's feed

Ben Grannis was fed up with distracted drivers and people living on their phones, so he did something about it. He set out on a 7,000-mile bicycle ride around the United States to raise awareness and over $50,000 to end distracted driving and promote digital wellness. Having recently completed his journey, Ben is now sharing his Eyes Up message with young people and interviewing athletes along the way.
