The Bus Driver Experience

How does someone go from playing in the NBA to creating programs for troubled kids off the street?

Everybody, meet Antonio “Scoop” Jardine @scoopjardine. NBA basketball player turned entrepreneur who owes everything he knows about business from what he learned on the court.

After losing his little brother in a street shootout and finding himself drift away from basketball, Scoop, to help out his community, started the Basketball Is Life foundation - a basketball-based school program aimed at helping troubled kids off the streets. A chance to give them opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t have access to.

I’ve known this man for over 10 years. He was one of our star players back when we played together at Syracuse Orange and we’ve been in contact ever since. The stories and experiences he has to share around his life are incredible to listen to. And I hope you get as much from listening to him as I did. So please, just sit back and enjoy the show.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What starting a school program for helping kids is like and how that helped him love basketball again.
• How Scoop got his first job in business by reaching out to his old fans - and how powerful your connection can be when you need the help.
• How awkward it is to flex for thousands of people so you can be auctioned off for charity.
• How much of a DRILL SERGEANT our coach was in college and what hilarious situations ensued because of it.
• Scoop’s philosophy on how similar being a quarterback or point guard is to being a CEO and how that translates into business.
• And much more.

I created The Bus Driver Experience as a way to gain a new perspective from the unique lives of other people - Olympic athletes, monks, porn stars - to not just learn, but EXPERIENCE what it’s like to be in their shoes for a day.

And do it in a way unlike how every other travel/interview show does it. Most other shows merely talk with these individuals.

But talking with these people isn’t enough for me.

I want to live their unique story. To understand not only what they go through in their day to day, but also why they’re doing it. Follow me on YouTube for videos of the experiences with my guests, and other content.

Imagine you had to set up a marijuana business. How hard would it be, what would need to go into it and could state regulations ruin it?

Michael Hinden is CEO of @privatestockveganics and Director of of Cultivation at Private Stock Veterans, and CEO of Private Stock Distribution a cannabis distribution company based in California. Through organic and sustainable cultivation techniques, Michael and his team at Private Stock Veganics provide incredibly high-quality consumables using the most natural techniques available.

Our first talk with him on Botany, Buds and Education (#026) became one of our most top rated episodes to date, and for good reason too. His perspective and experience in everything marijuana related is enthralling to hear. That’s why we’re excited to continue that conversation as he shares his experiences with running a legal cannabis business. From the regulations, barriers and monetary challenges that are part of Michael’s day to day to how the industry is growing as a whole, what has to change to make the system work and a deep scientific dive into the cultivation and growing of cannabis plants. We’re talking strains, microbiotics, minerals, micronutrients, its process, its history in eastern countries and much, much more.

Michael is a fountain of knowledge in everything this industry has to offer, as you’ll soon find out in this spectacular episode. Check out the website for this episode’s links and show notes. Enjoy the ride!

What kind of work goes into writing a successful TV show from scratch? And how have streaming services like Netflix and Hulu changed the writing scene? This week’s guest is screenwriter (of the Showtime hits “Weeds” and “Kidding”) and 2013 WPT Poker player of the year, Matthew Salsberg.

Matt gives us a deep dive into what writing a show is really like. The successes, the failures and the rejection that comes with it. And how he’s used poker as a means to both escape from, and inspire, his writing.

We also delve into how streaming services have transformed screenwriting in the last decade, how its changed and what’s the state of the show-making culture today. This is a spectacular episode you won’t want to miss!

In this episode we talk about:

• The making of his shows, Weeds and Kidding.
• How Matt got into poker, and how the game transitioned seamlessly into his writing career.
• The amount of rejection that goes into big projects creating shows and tv series.
• The importance of having the right actors to bring characters to life.
• What’s so hard about writing tv shows today?

Were we born to eat only meat?

The carnivore diet lays claim to helping hundreds of thousands around the world on a simple premise: just eat meat. The question is: How is this nutritional strategy helping people, and what is the science backing it up?

Travis Statham, moderator of r/zerocarb, r/ketoscience, r/StopEatingSeedOils, and World Carnivore Tribe, is at the forefront of the zero-carb movement also known as the Carnivore Diet. He joins us on the bus this week to tell us all about it! We discuss what kind of benefits the carnivore diet brings to the table, the kinds of diseases that it cures, and go in-depth into the history and science of why it works.
