    The Lost Art of Doing Things Right — Ralph Dunning

    Ralph Dunning is the founder of Foreign Rider, a clothing brand built around motorcycles, craftsmanship, and a belief in doing things the right way. In this episode, we explore Ralph’s philosophy around business and life, slowing down, simplifying, resisting shortcuts, and putting intention behind the things we create and consume. We talk about his deep connection to motorcycles, the value of an analog life, why authenticity can’t be manufactured, and what it means to build something meaningful in a world that constantly pushes us to move faster and produce more.

    The Pivotal Moments That Shape Us

    In this episode, I step to the other side of the microphone with Yoshimura’s Pivotal Pod for a conversation about following your curiosity, finding the courage to start over, and building a life around what you love. We explore how motorcycles create connection, how adventure changes our perspective, and how creativity gives us a way to share what we discover. We also reflect on love, loss, letting go, and learning to appreciate the chapter you’re in while it’s still unfolding. Thanks to the Yoshimura crew for giving me the space to share some of my own journey.

    Zach Osborne — The Long Road to the Top

    Zach Osborne’s path to becoming a champion was anything but conventional. After emerging as one of America’s most promising young motocross racers, Zach took his career overseas, spending years racing in Europe before eventually returning home and reaching the highest levels of the sport. His journey was defined by setbacks, injuries, sacrifice, persistence, and ultimately, championships. In this episode, Zach and I talk about growing up racing motorcycles, his years in Europe, the hardest parts of being a professional racer, and what it took to finally become a champion. We also get into retirement, life after professional racing, and why discipline remains such an important part of his life even when there’s no longer a championship on the line.

    Racing Close to Death — Dan Kruger

    Dan Kruger has spent his life racing some of the most dangerous motorcycle races on earth, including the Isle of Man TT and North West 200, pushing nearly 200 mph down public roads where one mistake can be fatal. But Dan’s greatest battles have happened away from the racetrack. In this episode, we talk about what drives someone to race so close to death, the focus and mindset required to survive at those speeds, and how living on the edge changes your perspective on life. Dan also opens up about his long battle with arthritis and chronic pain, his addiction to opioids and alcohol, and the difficult journey to getting sober and rebuilding his life. This is a conversation about risk, addiction, mortality, recovery, and what a lifetime spent close to the edge can teach you about truly living.
