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.

Eric Hendrikx has spent his career telling other people's stories. He's interviewed icons, ridden with legends, and built a life around his passions for creativity and two wheels. But in 2017, a mountain road in the Swiss Alps nearly ended all of it.

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.

This is the story of a journey across the endless Mongolian steppe. With little more than faint tracks to follow, we rode through a vast landscape of rolling grasslands, mountains, deserts and ancient ruins, experiencing the nomadic culture and incredible hospitality of the people who call this place home. Along the way, Mongolia taught us something about freedom, impermanence, and presence in wherever the road takes you.
