    The Café Stop: Neilson & Shayna Powless

    In this episode, brought to you by Southern Grounds & Co. (@southerngroundsco), in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as Marinette (@marinette.kitchen), in Nice, France, we connect with a pair of cycling's most electrifying siblings; EF Education First-EasyPost's (@efprocycling) Neilson Powless (@neilsonpowless), and DNA Pro Cycling’s (@dnak4) Shayna Powless (@shaynapowless).  The siblings take us through their journey, from growing up in an incredibly athletic family, with parents who competed in the Olympics and Ironman Kona, to racing professionally at highest levels. Neilson and Shayna take us inside the peloton as they describe their experiences racing some of the biggest races in the world. They also speak to their unique position in professional cycling, as integral parts of both the men's and women's peloton, as well as representing the Oneida people on the world stage. We gain deeper insight into the siblings relationship with their Indigenous roots and how this has influenced their perspective on life and sport. Shayna highlights the work of the amazing foundation she founded with her partner, Eli Ankou (@gravitytrain) of the Buffalo Bills (@buffalobills). Together, the they empower Indigenous youth, through sport, via the Dream Catcher Foundation (@dream_catcher_fnd). Neilson talks about his growing family and life abroad, with his wife, Frances Powless (@frances.chae), as they plan for the future while enjoying the present. All of this and so much more inside this captivating episode.

    The Café Stop: Nate Pearson

    In this episode, brought to you by Reno, Nevada's, Coffee Bar (@coffeebar), we have coffee with Trainer Road's (@trainerroad) CEO, and Co-Founder, Nate Pearson (@tr.nate). Nate walks us through everything from the inception of Trainer Road, and his days attending Coach Chad Timmerman's (@coachchadtr) CompuTrainer classes, to the new innovations of Trainer Road, and the current direction of the company. He discusses his own experiences with mental health, and concussions, as well as toxic masculinity and the detrimental effects of this. Nate teases some not yet released features from Trainer Road, as well as the power of technological advancements in cycling. We review Nate, and Trainer Road's decision to stand behind the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, and how they feel they are on the right side of history. He expands on the backlash that he, and the company, received from those who are opposed to the BLM movement, and the financial impact on Trainer Road as a result of this. Nonetheless, Nate reviewed the importance of sticking to your morals and values, and how this is worth more than any financial gain. We wholeheartedly agree with Nate, and Trainer Road, and are grateful to have had the chance to discuss such important issues. We hope you enjoy the impactful conversation. We also appreciate any and all 5 star ratings (if you think we deserve it, if not, message us and let us know what we can do to get there!) as it helps us bring more inspirational and entertaining content your way.

We chat about marginalization and racism, both on and off the bike, and the detriment that this poses to society. Ama takes us through how to be an ally and how to advocate for those who are impacted by this. We examine the importance of self-care, and how the bike and exploration, as well as pushing physical limits can be an excellent way to do this. We explore the loss of Ama's father, Iffiok, and his incredible legacy that will live on forever. Ama also gives us an inside seat in the peloton and takes us through some of the toughest races on the calendar, including how he reached the podium at Tulsa Tough with the help of his brother, Imeh (@imehnsek).
