What if better mental health was just one pedal stroke away? Zach Goulding of Ride This Out

On this episode, Tom Telford sits down with Utah therapist Zach Golding to explore how movement—especially time on a bike—can unlock conversations, regulate stress, and build confidence in ways the therapy office sometimes can’t. From his early days at Utah Valley University and the University of Utah to working in juvenile detention and youth crisis shelters, Zach shares how bike commuting became his own daily reset after carrying the emotional weight of intense clinical work. Along the way, he discovered something powerful: teenage boys who shut down in a therapy room would open up on two wheels. Together, they unpack: Why bilateral movement (and principles used in EMDR) help the brain process stressThe difference between “earned” dopamine from movement and “cheap” dopamine from scrolling and compulsive habitsThe rising tide of loneliness—especially among young menHow boredom, discomfort, and effort actually build identity and resilienceYou’ll also hear the inspiring story behind Zach’s weekly school “bike bus,” inspired by Coach Sam Balto, which grew to 70+ kids riding together—teachers included—creating confidence, connection, and community before the school day even begins. This is a conversation about movement as medicine, therapy as sacred work, and how sometimes the path forward starts by simply riding it out. Find Zach at ridethisout.com and on Instagram @ride.this.out.
