  • 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!

  • You meet the nicest people in the world riding motorcycles. The great thing about motorcycles is that the history, the styles, the racing, the variety of bikes is vast. The common denominator is often people who would give you the shirt off their back. it is great to hear their stories. 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.
