My mind plays all sorts of tricks on me. From sadness telling me to stay in bed all day, to anger telling me to start flailing and crying on the side of the road. This year, I finally figured out how to not be ruled by my emotions, and instead use them for my own improvement. Sound nice, eh? Check it out.

We all need to support including transgender people in sports! The system is broke when it comes to diversity, and we discuss ways in which to fix it. In addition to that, we get a creepy visitor this week, and we make a point to get an additional solar panel installed on the bus.

How to rise above a hostile work place and not contribute to it. I had a bit of a rough day at work, well, not just one day, and this episode is all about how I dealt with it.

Yeah, deal with it.

In the episode, we discuss getting kicked out of Portland, come up with a mobile daycare business plan, debate whether we can ferment foods in the winter, and plan my 30th birthday. So many big things.

I am on Day 3 of my 30 day meditation practice using the Headspace app. Today, we get another vehicle tow notice, I end up in an industrial area, and I begin my meditation a bit out of wack.

We have been out for a couple months, so we fill you in on what we have been up to in our tiny world. Mostly just planning and preparing for the coming winter in Portland. And also planning for my 30th birthday.

I sit down with Chase Medina to discuss his experiences racing the Tour Divide this year. For those who don't know, it is a self-supported 2,745 mile mountain bike race that runs from Canada down to Mexico. We talk preparations, mental game, and what he would do differently now that he has experienced it.

We've been in our bus conversion for a little over a year now, and we have learned many important lessons. You are welcome to learn from our mistakes, as we discuss why we went plant-based, how the heat fried our brains, and the changes in the way we viewed our lives.

One of the biggest changes, was our creation of this podcast. And because of that, I would like to thank you for taking the time to listen to us. It is an absolute honor.

Also, if you don't happen to listen, that is completely alright. I just want you to know that while I may have been a basket-case in the summer heat, Cody balanced out the year with being a complete baby in the winter.

The biggest lesson is always the one you learn about yourself. So, please enjoy the show!

We're separating from the idea of #vanlife in this episode, and decide that we're better categorized as a part of a negligent loser society. Many topics are discussed in this unedited rambling - including, what it means to be a millennial, how old Henry Rollins is, and where we land in the class system. Riveting and raw, as usual. Enjoy!

In this episode, we discuss what it is to be an athlete. How can the term be applied? What are the characteristics? And how do I become one? Mostly, we realize that there are many different types, and it isn't necessarily dependent on the type or quantity of activity that you do.
