Show Notes  Today’s subject is not a light one. In fact, it may be one of the most troubling subjects I have discussed on the show after more than 130 episodes. Today is about very deep human pain and suffering, AND the potential learnings that can result, if one chooses to take that path. Although we may love learning about life and our deepest inner selves… the path there is often most unpleasant. David Whyte alludes to the power of suffering when he writes, “Suffering is as inescapable and inevitable as breathing…” If suffering is inescapable and inevitable, it might be asking us… to see suffering as our constant and instructive companion…” “Suffering asks us not to look for an alternative path, because there is no alternative path.” Now… none of this eludes the pain and despair of suffering. It is not something to anticipate with glee. It sucks. Yet if suffering is inescapable, we are asked not only to expect it and learn from it, but also to actually embrace it as our unwanted “instructive companion.” My very special guest today, Dr. John Bash, is most accustomed to suffering as well as the deep learning that comes from it. As a successful minister and church planter, In John’s resume I read… “John’s heart for leaders is a natural outgrowth of a life spent watching God turn pain and tragedy into comfort and healing.

What a ride!  Since starting this podcast six months ago,  we've heard some amazing stories about the ongoing eBike Revolution from the entrepreneurs driving this movement to the "love stories" of all those riding along.

Join our producer Carly San Filippo as we look back at all people we've met along the way and the life changing stories they've shared with us about getting out and active again on an electric bike. From socialization and "group rides"(in this era of isolation and shutdowns and "go it alone") to weight loss and simply "feeling better".  To feeling like a kid again (as actor William Shatner said) and shouting "weee" when you jump on a bike and hit that throttle. It's all here.

Plus the steady stream of "second act career stories" we've heard as well. On how high powered achievers from airline pilots and bank executives to former pro golfers and bond traders have made the move from "Wall Street to Main Street" to open their own Pedego Electric bike stores (and why). 

As we look back at this last year's wild ride and all we have yet to discover.  Here on the Pedego Podcast. Brought to you by Pedego Electric Bikes and your friends here at OC TALK RADIO. Orange  County's only community conversation....

“Death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.” - Steve JobsNo one is ever really ready to close the circles, shut the doors, and finish the chapters we’ve shared with someone we love. Because even though death is inevitable, you’ll never really know when it will be the last page in the book of life. Everybody is excited about the birth of a child but there are only a few who are present at the time of the death of a loved one.
