    Making Content In A Hyper-Politicized World | Convos On The Pedicab #195 | Mary Barron

    In this episode we sit down with Mary Barron—a seasoned occupational therapist, purple‑belt BJJ practitioner, and Instagram star who’s built a following of over 100 k by blending her martial‑arts skill, striking looks, and authentic personality. Mary walks us through her recent plunge into rugby, explaining how the discipline, balance, and takedown instincts from jiu‑jitsu give her a surprising edge on the pitch, and why the sport’s team dynamic feels like a natural extension of her therapeutic work. We also unpack the relentless pressure that comes with maintaining a high‑visibility creator brand. Mary shares candid insights on the burnout cycle fueled by algorithm‑driven metrics, the anxiety of constantly “feeding the algorithm,” and how the hyper‑politicized climate amplifies that stress. Through honest reflection, she reveals the strategies she’s adopting to reclaim creative freedom, protect her mental health, and stay grounded amid the noise—all while preparing for the next chapter of her life.

    Puerto Rico Is A Blueprint For The New World Order | Convos On The Pedicab #`194 | Gary Faust

    Gary Faust is an independent journalist known best by his alter ego of "Street Gonzo," who just released an eye opening documentary about the obscene levels of corruption in Puerto Rico, specifically regarding the electrical grid in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. In this episode, we went deep on how widespread the corruption truly goes; from the ongoing fallout of U.S.‑backed reproductive experiments in Puerto Rico, population control experiments via the government‑run “La Operación” program, shadowy financial boards siphoning billions to Wall Street, crumbling infrastructure, and a cascade of social crises—including infertility, homelessness, and rising crime—that echo across mainland America. Interwoven with personal reflections on shifting from shock‑value street‑gonzo antics to more purposeful documentary film making, the episode offers a raw, on‑the‑ground perspective that challenges viewers to confront how hidden policies shape populations and why exposing these stories matters.Watch Gary's Documentary Here:    • EXPOSING the Shadow Government Controlling...  Follow Gary Here: YouTube:    / @street_gonzo  Instagram:   / streetgonzo  X: https://x.com/Street_gonzoPatreon:   / streetgonzo
