  • Driven to Listen!

    I found out about this podcast when meeting the host at a networking event. The episodes are polished and put together, which makes it easy to listen to. I thought it was ONLY going to be about motorcycles when I tuned in, but was pleasantly surprised to hear life stories of guests that brought a lot of relatability to my ears. Tune in!

Minor suggestion, but would ask the host to dig into the guests history a little more. There some great stories that the guests may have forgotten about that you may ask them about.

  • Good new bike pod but..

    Good pod which i could really get hooked on but interviewer’s constant acknowledgement that he’s listening (“yeah, ok, sure”) makes it a hard listen.
