The Bus Driver Experience episodes

September 21, 2017 #042 - Patrick Wiggins - Super Novae and Stars in our Sky
Welcome back on the bus! This episode we have astronomer and all around adrenaline junky, Patrick Wiggins. Why adrenaline junkie? Because when we first met him, he was jumping out of an airplane. By day, jumping out of airplanes is what Patrick does, but by night, when the sun goes down, he heads over to the Stansbury Park Observatory Complex; where he has made some notable discoveries over the past few years: three supernovae and several planets outside of our own galaxy.
Patrick has spent thousands of hours staring up into the sky and he doesn't just do it with any ordinary telescope. Patrick has access to the largest amateur optical telescope in the world. Check out pictures of this beauty here.
In this episode, we go over Patrick's process for discovering phenomena in the sky. We also take a look at the difference between supernovae stars and our own star, asteroidal impacts, mass extinctions, the fate of our solar system as well as Patrick's take on the Flat Earth conspiracy.
Wiggins has discovered a whole host of astronomical events in space, including an asteroid in 2008, which the International Astronomical Union named Univofutah, at Wiggins’ request, to honor the University of Utah. Wiggins’ work has earned him many accolades, including the prestigious Distinguished Public Service Medal, NASA’s highest civilian honor. You can meet Wiggins and the rest of the Phun with Physics scientists during free days at the Natural History Museum of Utah.

September 13, 2017 #041 - Fabiana Borges - Addicted to Conquering Goals
Born in Rio de Janeiro Fabiana Borges @fborgesjiujitsu, started training jiu-jitsu at the age of 11 and began competing by the age of 14.

In 2008, at 20 years old, she arrive to the United States, invited by her friend Miriam Cardoso to teach at Gracie Barra, a Brazillian Jiu Jitsu organization with over 500 schools, in Washington. In 2010 she moved to California to work at Gracie Barra Head Quarters. She was then given the opportunity to teach at the Head Quarters for a couple years where she lead the Women’s Program.

She now operates and co owns Gracie Barra San Antonio.

Fabiana gracefully let Brandon and Daniel participate in a training session before this interview, where they got a 101 on getting their asses kicked.

Here is a list of her accolades
2010 World Silver Medallist1st in American Nationals 20112nd on Pan American Championship 20113rd on Worlds Championship 20112 times World Champion2x Pan American Champion2x American National Champion7x Brazilian Nationals Champion We met Fabiana through Couchsurfing and stayed with her for two nights. Little did we know we were staying with a world renown Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion. Seeing that we had an opportunity to interview such an esteemed guest we seized the opportunity. In the show we went deep not into just Fabi's journey to Brazilian jiu-jitsu greatness but also the kind of mental toughness, work ethic and the transformation it takes to go from from athlete to coach. Fabi shares stories and examples of her ups and downs on her path. From her first day in the gym at 11 years old to how she seperates work vs passion. We know you'll enjoy this episode as much as we did!

July 17, 2017 #033 — DJ Billy Kenny & Max Charnas
DJ Billy Kenny @BillyKennyMusic is a British DJ, Producer, and head of A&R for electronic music label This Aint Bristol. Max Charnas @charnizard is a writer and blogger for the same label - a label known for its confounding ability to make you feel like a grasshopper at a grasshopper party. We were lucky enough to have Billy join the bus for an EDC exclusive conversation. Why? Because Billy is the closing act on the Cosmic Meadow stage at music festival @EDC_LasVegas (Electric Daisy Carnival); analogous to the Super Bowl of electronic music festivals. Spoiler Alert: he plays an exclusive - the intro of his EDC set. From stories of their youth and acid experiences to music influences and song discovery, Billy and Max give a real look into their lives during this riveting conversation. To hear DJ Billy Kenny's music and read Max's visually entrancing track descriptions - Go to the This Aint Bristol Souncloud page On the Bus Podcast has a major goal to bring you the raw and real from the true greats operating outside of the status quo.

Megan Nager, @meganager, moved to Los Angeles in 2012, after she graduated with a BA and honors in English, Spanish and General Business from Washington University in St. Louis.

All of us have bared witness to what anyone and everyone having a camera looks like. Not only does it seem like everything can be recorded but the recordings that our captured are capturing personal content that has not normally been shared of captured before.

Megan decided to attempt the traditional route of entering the entertainment industry and moved to LA after graduation. Megan attended The American Academy of Dramatic Art's acting conservatory program. During her year at AADA, Megan began performing stand-up comedy at various comedy clubs throughout LA including The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory and the Hollywood Improv.

Teague Egan, @teagueegan is an entrepreneurial octopus, because he has his hands in 8 different places. He is CEO of 1st round Enterprises which has branches in athletics, music, and entertainment. At age 21, his label 1st Round Records released Sammy Adams debut album Boston’s Boy, which reached #1 on the iTunes hip-hop charts. At age 22 Teague became the youngest ever NFL Agent at 22 (his subsequent loss of license is a crazy story you won't want to miss).

Teague completed the Executive Program in exponential technology including artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, and nanotechnology at Singularity University. He is also behind the invention of Graphene Fibers. However, he is more than a serial entrepreneur, he is also a serial philanthropist. On the show, we get deep into his giving history, with stories of picking up hitchhikers and helping kids across the country. He is Chief Kindness Spreader at Kindness305 which aims to cleverly incentive the core concept of kindness. We were also joined on this episode by Saba the Monkey, his Marmoset who was climbing everywhere and an overall joy to be around. He has an awesome Instagram account. This episode spans Teague's one of a kind life and entrepreneurial stories before moving into the depths of philanthropy and curating the ability to give back through kindness.
