In this week's episode, I sat down with Patty Upton (S1E1) and Connie Rodman. They make on heck of a team! These woman have teamed up and are going to start training soon for the Rebelle Rally 2025 this October. I plan to follow their journey over the course of the next few months. As most of you already know of Patty's amazing story, here's a short bio on Connie.

Connie Rodman’s passion for Overlanding began in 1989 and grew through adventurous trips with her husband, Graham Jackson. They embarked on a 9-month, 30,000-mile journey from London to Cape Town in 2004. Connie became a fixture at the Overland Expo, teaching since 2009, and in 2017 earned NPTC certification in off-road driving. She has guided and cooked on various Overland expeditions in Southern Africa and Australia.

Feel free to reach out the Patty if you or your business would be interested a sponsorship of their adventure. Pricing and perks will be provided upon request.

This is not a nfo regular weekly episode. It's long formatted. I plan to release these at any given time throughout 2025. Check out the video version here.

ABOUT
This is a new mini series that I plan to do throughout this year. The style and content I am after will be different than most in this catagory. I plan to add more cameras and a  higher level of production quality too. For now, let's get the ball rolling.

Charlie from Outskirts Overland was my first guest. He and I have done some collars together in the past on each other's podcast. He's a retired United States Marine, who served in active duty as well as crossing back in the civilian world. He has a deep connection with overlanding and finds it to be His source for normalcy.  

We start off with normal introductions and some background stories to help paint a better picture for listeners.

After about an hours worth of discussing overlanding and evolving in that department. We move into some heavy thoughts and even discussions about how today's culture is more or less out of touch with reality. 

We speak our minds on a few things but we both want to assure the listeners we are not out to seek fighting, arguing or to even agree with most of the topics that were barley even discussed in depth. 

Heed this warning. 

Feel free to express your opinions below, If you want us to revisit a topic or dive deeper into one. Let us know in the comments as well.

Happy Thursday! I decided to make today's episode the last 'full' episode for 2024. I need to re-focus and prioritize the podcast. I truly want to spend more time, unfortunately, I have been too busy still to prioritize it. I will for 2025 I promise! I will continue the Monday show though to keep everyone up to date!  Have a very merry Christmas and a happy happy New Year! -Bneji
