This week on the podcast, we are catching up with our good friend James Adamson—a filmmaker, photographer, athlete, and passionate human.

As the creative force behind Drop Media, James has traveled the globe capturing breathtaking, high-stakes footage of athletes and expeditions. But beyond his lens, he is a deeply thoughtful mountain biker, rookie rally car racer, coffee baron and father who thrives on the physical and mental connections forged out in the wilds of Colorado.

He also is a great friend, owner of Helix Coffee in Breckenridge and the Director of Photography for our film “The Journeying” (streaming on Father’s Day weekend!)

This week we are sitting down with professor, cyclist, and one of my dearest friends Jake Reed!

Jake is an associate professor of Kinesiology and Physical Education and has spent year studying sports science and teaching at the University of Northern Iowa. On this episode, he helps me understand healthy ways to approach a lifetime of being an athlete and teaches me what I should be doing as I pursue fitness as I get older.

This episode is packed with extremely useful information and truly changed how I am approaching my next decade as an athlete and a human.

Hope you all enjoy!!

This week we are chatting with ultra cyclist and bikepacker Gregg Dunham all about his new film documenting the EPIC Stagecoach 400 race in Southern California!!

Gregg also talks about what inspired "Hidden in Plain Sight" his film about a bikepack trip he took with friends through the Santa Monica mountains and some of his life challenges that inspired that project.

Right now you can support Gregg by donating to his Seed and Spark campaign to help the Stagecoach film series get over the finish line of Post Production (I supported because I'm genuinely psyched to see it!)

Hope you enjoy the episode! I found lots of inspiration from chatting with Gregg!!
