Roadrunner#26 - it's been real, it's been funIn this episode, we finish this trip. The trip is over. Done. Completed. Behind me. It is all a memory in the past. Donzo. Bye bye. Behind me. Over-dover? I don't think that's a saying.
Anyway, the trip is over, I'm feeling sentimental, and I need to go hug my mom. Ciao. 2022-11-1909 minRoadrunner#25 - Sick as a dogIn this episode, we recall the last few especially hard weeks and miles in this trip. Sick and with a breaking motorcycle, all I wanted was to quit. At one point, I was so desperate to end the entire thing that I secretly wished someone would steal my motorcycle in the night and end it all for me. 2022-11-1831 minRoadrunner#24 - the end is nearIn this episode, we talk about 2 of the greatest lessons I have learned on this journey on the bike, the steadily increasing realization that I have almost reached the end of this journey, and how soothing and soft my voice is in these podcasts. 2022-09-0909 minRoadrunner#23 - i can't feel my face when im in peruIn this episode, live from the side of the road with trembling, cold, possibly permanently harmed fingers we talk about some of the realities of the winding, demanding road laid out in front of me.
2022-08-1903 minRoadrunner#22 - Roadblocks, Tinder Dates, TattoosIn this episode, roadblocks, burning tires, tinder dates, and the most perfect of tattoo experiences. Nothing out of the ordinary here.2022-07-2210 min
Roadrunner#21 - Hello from the Other SiiiiideIn this episode, we sit down with Jeremiah once again to speak about the meaning of the universe, why he ever left tacos in Mexico behind, and whether showing up on time is a good or bad cultural trait. JK, it's just an update from the road to Patagonia :) 2022-07-0817 minRoadrunner#20 - Started from the top now we are in the middleIn this episode, I talk about how the trip has changed me and continues to change me. I talk about sticking with my gut and the clarity that comes with time spent pursuing a goal that few people believed in at its start. 2022-05-2719 minRoadrunner#19 - I'm Afraid Every DayIn this episode, we talk about fear, me flirting with nervous strangers who'd rather that I just move along, and why I am more than happy to admit how afraid I have been and continue to be every damn day of this trip to anyone who asks me, "but aren't you afraid on this trip?"
Fear has been a huge part of my life since the day I realized I needed to step out into the world for myself. 2022-05-1312 minRoadrunner#18 - The Perfect Day in ColombiaIn this episode, I take you along on the 2-day mountain escape to the town of Urrao, Colombia from my home for the last week of Medellin. I am waiting for papers for my motorcycle to arrive here in Medellin. I was getting a little restless... so I planned a quick escape to a mountain town that gave me perhaps the best day of the entire trip so far...2022-05-0621 minRoadrunner#17 - I Crashed the BikeIn this episode, we talk about the best of worst days on the bike... from new adventures to new friends to new injuries both on myself and my precious Gordita (the name of my bike).
Colombia has been a rollercoaster... from a very rocky and difficult start (emotionally and physically) to the most wonderful of difficult and painful days, I am so happy to have made it this far.2022-04-2928 minRoadrunner#16 - I Rode My Motorcycle to Colombia...In this episode, we sit down to try to take in the actual what the heck fact that I rode my motorcycle... to... Colombia...! People, Jeremiah, the anxiety-ridden, and not particularly durable or brave road his motorcycle to Colombia... as in the country, not the overpriced similarly spelled outdoor apparel store down the street.
We also talk about killing snakes for some reason. Anyway, here we go. 2022-04-2220 minRoadrunner#15 - This Trip Has Been... WeirdIn this episode, we talk about what this trip has been like so far. From waking up in a panic not sure where I am or, more importantly, where the motorcycle is, to the difference between yesterday's expectations and today's reality, to the strange feeling of the rapidly changing world I exist within as I travel by motorcycle further and further south.
Oh, and also this is the start of season 2 as we are officially back on the bike traveling in South America with Central America in our rear view mirror(s).
2022-04-1512 minRoadrunner#14 - Not a Cry for HelpIn this episode, I sit down and open up about the dark place I've been in for the last 3 weeks.
There is no easy way to talk about the days when I want nothing more than to curl into a ball and disappear from the world, people's memories, and the shame of whatever twisted thought I'm brooding over pertaining to the meaninglessness of my life as compared to how it *should* be.
Welcome to Colombia on the bike.
2022-04-0812 minRoadrunner#13 - The Worst Day YetIn this episode, we talk about the day I crossed into Panama and the terrible set of events that took place no more than 10km after crossing legally, happily, joyously into Panama.2022-04-0127 minRoadrunner#12 - Dirty Underwear & Highway RobberyIn this episode, we talk about being robbed, reusing dirty underwear, and the reality of the dangerous yet beautiful countries between America and Panama.
p.s. if anyone knows the answer to the mystery right blinker... please let me know. 2022-03-2518 minRoadrunner#11 - 8,000km of StoriesIn this episode, we sit down to talk about some of the stories I've collected over the course of 8,000 kilometers of road, hostels, hotels, military checkpoints, and random gas station encounters.
2022-03-1831 minRoadrunner#10 - Can I Love Myself?In this episode, we sit in a tiny open-air loft in a sold-out, noisy hostel in northern Guatemala and talk about some of the things I am learning about myself and about life on this trip.
For the longest time I wanted to be someone else. I spent days, weeks, years waiting and hoping for my magical transformation into the better person I always wished I could have been born to be... the smarter, more handsome, competent, courageous, social stranger I somehow thought was the man I SHOULD be.
I am now realizing it is...2022-03-1108 minRoadrunner#9 - A Daily Pep-Talk of SurvivalIn this episode, I talk about the questions I ask myself nearly every day in order to take just one step further. The questions and thought experiments I force myself to answer each time I find myself questioning myself. Questioning why I am here, why I am doing this trip, why I continue to create even without a large audience, why I live the way I do.
If it weren't for these questions and the consistent answers I give myself each time I force myself to run through them one more time... I wouldn't be where I a...2022-03-0421 minRoadrunner#8 - I Remember the PeopleIn this episode, we talk about the people of my trip so far. My mom told me to be careful. "Be careful, Jeremiah, before you know it, all these amazing people you are meeting and encountering along your way will begin to fade into distant, vague memory. Hay que cuidarlas ahora cuando la memoria todavia esta nueva" (you need to capture your memories now while they are still new in your mind).
Ok, she didn't speak Spanish, but you get the idea.
As I look back over the last few weeks of travel marking the st...2022-02-2527 minRoadrunner#7 - My Life in MexicoIn this episode, I talk about my life in Mexico so far. Beginning with the preexisting thoughts, fears, and warnings around travel in Mexico and ending with tacos... this is life in Baja, Mexico.
I am slowly working out a routine. From how far and long I will ride each day to what I must get done each night when I arrive in a new town to survive and take care of myself for the sake of the entirety of the trip. Gasoline, pesos, groceries, a beer, and tacos!
He...2022-02-1912 minRoadrunner#6 - I Want to Quit.In this episode, I admit how I wanted to quit this journey on day 1. There's no way of sugar-coating it, I arrived at my first hostel of this journey just south of the Mexican/American border and wanted nothing other than to forget entirely about this trip, wipe it from the minds of everyone aware of it, and teleport back to the safety of family and friends and familiar life.
After my first day in Mexico, I have slowly settled down and started to look at everything in terms of daily battles. Day by d...2022-02-1236 minRoadrunner#5 - The Worst Mistake of My Life?In this episode, we sit on a hotel bed and talk about the first 24-hours on the bike, my intense mental struggle with this crazy journey I've set before myself, and talk about the benefit of baby steps... Don't Think. Just Do. Baby steps.
There are more people in my life continually reminding me of how foolish, dangerous, and absolutely perilous this journey is than those encouraging me on my way. That is burdensome. To have so many people I love and respect spending time and energy to show me every way I am m...2022-02-0522 minRoadrunner#4 - Why I Should Be DeadIn this episode, I take you back to the bloody sands of the beach I should have died on; the cliff under which my life should have ended.
As the day I get back on my motorcycle draws nearer, I am overwhelmed by self-doubt, fear, and lack of purpose. As each wave of anxiety and second-guessing washes over me, I have to fight to re-orient myself around the reasons why I make decisions the way I do, the reasons why I continue to push myself down this unknown, uncomfortable, anxiety-ridden path.
...2022-01-2937 minRoadrunner#3 - Nearly Nude Next to a Cracker BarrelIn this episode, I invite you to sit next to me in the trunk of my 4Runner in a dimly-lit Cracker Barrel parking lot in our underwear as we attempt to stay warm and sleep through the night in the back of a car.
"Doing strange things" has been a major theme of my life for the last 4-years. It has been my way of pushing beyond what is expected of me, what society implicitly and explicitly directs me to do, say, and think, into the unknown in order to find out if there i...2022-01-2114 minRoadrunner#2 - A Disastrous First 2,000 MilesIn this episode, I walk through how awful... truly awful the first 2,000 miles of my motorcycle journey to Patagonia were.
Seriously. It was bad. 2022-01-1452 min
Roadrunner#1 - The Road to HereThis episode: from star student to depressed failure. From career-life to van life. From comfortable in life to the first grueling 2,000 miles on the motorcycle from Colorado to California...and away we go.
I am about to set out on a crazy journey... traveling by motorcycle from San Francisco to Patagonia. I plan to capture the stories, troubles, thoughts, and experiences along the way through this podcast.

Useful Ideas for Your LifeHow a Little Anger Ruins Your DayYou’re driving down the road, things are just great. Sun is shining and it’s pre-covid times so everything is just better.
Suddenly some guy who isn’t looking pulls out in front of you and you have to slam on your breaks.
Your $5 tall Starbucks mint jazz tea refresher spills into your cupholder, your shopping bags tip over, and your heart beats too fast for comfort.
You have the right to be angry. But...is it smart to let yourself get angry even just a little bit? How much do we let anger contro...2020-07-2009 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeUse Your Future Self for Today's DecisionsWhether it's emotions, difficult things or big life decisions, using your ability to imagine what future-you will care about will help you make sense of the now. The next time you are overcome with anger, embarrassment or fear imagine what you will feel and think about whatever it is that's bothering you in...10 hours...10 days...10 years. This rapidly defuses what otherwise might consume you. The next time you're struggling to complete something physically or mentally difficult, imagine how grateful your future self will be about pushing through and completing that thing. When making life decisions, imagine what your future...2020-03-0604 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThe Doom of Seeking Sensational ThingsI once gave a book to a friend with high recommendations. They gave the book back a few weeks later and said "sorry, nothing really jumped out at me...I didn't like it." This caused me to stop and think about how much of life one is missing if they are forever fixated on sensational things as opposed to choosing to realize that most of this world and most of life are made up of non-sensational things. If you go through life expecting all important things to jump out at you, you will miss most of what life consists...2020-03-0502 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThe Paradox of Being YoungWe are all young one way or another. There will always be someone wiser, more experienced, and more articulate than each of us. Therefore, we cannot wait our entire lives until we "have enough experience" or "have gained the necessary wisdom" to speak about the important ideas in life. We have to dive in now while we are still "young" and risk being wrong before our lives slip away and we never took any action. We must speak with courage mixed with humility and curiosity in order to be bold now while remaining respectful of the fact that we...2020-03-0406 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeCounting on the Unknown in LifeMost of us try to plan our lives as best we can. We attend schools to prepare us for a certain job. We work certain jobs to prepare us for a certain career. We live in certain cities in order to begin to prepare to settle down and create a family. There are many opportunities for us to fall into the trap of believing that we have eliminated the unknown in our lives as a product of great planning. The truth of the matter is that the unknown will always be a part of a life and therefore it...2020-03-0304 minUseful Ideas for Your Life(Sometimes) There is Never a "Right" TimeMost of us live life counting on the fact that there is a "right" time for doing something. Whatever that thing may be, we often wait and wait until we feel like the right time has arrived to act. I challenge you to think about the possibility that there are many things in life that have no "right" time. Sometimes the right time is simply the time at which you act. Don't spend your life waiting for the right time only to arrive at the end with no time left having never acted. 2020-03-0204 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeBe Picky With What You ReadWhen I first made reading a consistent part of my life, I read everything and anything because I did not know what I wanted to read or what I valued. Now, after a few years of reading widely and heavily, I have begun to skip pages in books when I don't see them as useful, close books after only a few pages when it becomes clear the book is not for me, and skip reading some books entirely because I know that they are not valuable to what I want. There are too many pages in this world for...2020-02-2803 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeHow NOT to Act on Mentor's AdviceNo single person can give you the all-encompassing manual to solve whatever problem stands before you. Listening to the advice and reflections of a mentor and attempting to act on that advice without first mixing and melding it with the realities of your life as well as thoughts and ideas of your own is a wasteful mistake. To fully take advantage of the mentor's time and advice as well as to make the best decision possible, you must wrestle with and attempt to hybridize the information the mentor delivers to you. 2020-02-2704 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeAre You Standing On Someone Else's Foundations?By default, we are given a foundation upon which we stand. A foundation that is made up of values and perspectives on the world. This determines how you live, what decisions you will make/not make, who you will have in your life and the list goes on. Many people never stop to question the foundation on which they stand. Did they create it themselves or did they blindly accept whatever was given to them over the course of their life never questioning anything? If you want a level of autonomy and strength in the face of the systems...2020-02-2603 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeFeed Your Mind as Well as You Feed Your BodyI ate a bag of Doritos after my workout sometime last week. I felt like crap doing so. My body needed fuel on which to operate and with which to build up my muscles and I was shoveling in powdery chips of processed who knows what. We are all well-aware of this dynamic of healthy/unhealthy food and healthy/unhealthy body. But how much do we pay attention to the equally as important dynamic of healthy/unhealthy food for our mind? Are we taking care of our minds as well as we strive to take care of our bodies...2020-02-2503 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeMake Yourself Laugh FirstMost people don't laugh after I tell a joke. I'm alright with that because most of the time the joke wasn't meant to make them laugh. I started focusing on making myself laugh before I tried making everyone else laugh and the result has been less awful sell-out jokes and more genuine laughter in my life as I am able to enjoy humor without having to force-feed it to everyone around me. 2020-02-2402 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeDeath Goes Beyond All DivisionIt is only in this brief period of breathing and thinking that we try to divide ourselves according to some arbitrary measures. Let death serve as the ultimate equalizer in what it means to be alive as a human. Love, laughter, tears, loss, joy, success, all these things comprise a human existence regardless of "who they are" according to the way we try to divide ourselves. Don't forget that. 2020-02-2103 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeDeath Steals Before You Even Know About ThemHave you ever sat on one of those benches in a park that is dedicated to someone? You're sitting on a bench meant to mark someone's love and admiration for a life now gone. A life full of love, laughter, pain, success, joy, boredom, and discovery same as yours and yet lived and gone without you ever even realizing it existed in the first place. That is a sobering thought. But it is also a freeing one. Let death teach you yet another thing about what it means to experience life. Let the way death steals lives away before...2020-02-2004 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeWhen Loved Ones DieRemember, someday you will not be able to send that text message to your mother. One day, there will be no one on the other end to receive it. So, send it now. Act now in full appreciation for what it means to have someone in your life. Do not find yourself dealing with the gaping hole that someone dying leaves without having ever lived with them fully aware of how precious those moments truly were.2020-02-1904 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeMaking Death a Part of Every DaySometimes remembering that I am going to die brings a big smile to my face. There are countless instances within a week of my life where I mess up, make a fool of myself, do or say the wrong thing and generally just have reason to berate myself. In those moments, when I am beating myself up over something, remembering that I am going to die eventually suddenly puts the thing that was bothering me into perspective and reminds me how trivial so much of what we let bother us really is. I challenge you to think about how...2020-02-1804 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeDeathSuffering, pain, and death are of equal importance to joy, happiness and life. 2020-02-1704 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThings I Wish I'd Started Sooner: Chipping Away at My FearsSometimes I am unable to get off my bed and go out into the world because I am afraid. I am taken by this dreadful feeling that tells me all the reasons I shouldn't do something. Even though I know I want to do something, like ride my motorcycle somewhere new, shoot a video that is difficult and might not turn out, drive a long distance to find a new hike, wake up early to see the sunrise, I will get stuck under the weight of that fear we all know.
The thing is, we can chip...2020-02-1405 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThings I Wish I'd Started Sooner: Taking My Headphones OutWhere would your mind go if you took the headphones out and stopped the continuous flow of music or entertainment or podcasts for a little while? I know it's uncomfortable. But what would happen? Could you find beauty in things you didn't before? Could you find resolutions to issues you'd been wrestling with in the back of your mind? Could you find stillness and here-ness? Where would your mind go? 2020-02-1304 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThings I Wish I'd Started Sooner: Saying NoLast week I sent a very firm but humble "no" to someone asking for some of my time. I had never quite done that before. It felt strange at first but then I realized that I stood behind my reasoning.
Saying no is not about keeping the goods scarce to increase demand or creating guardrails against the abuse of your time. Saying no is about coming to truly respect both your time and someone else's. I did not say no because I was tired, I said no because I am energized by the other ways I...2020-02-1203 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThings I Wish I'd Started Sooner: Keeping a NotebookFor a while, the endless guru-talk about why everyone should keep little Barnes and Noble-style notebooks in their back pocket with a worn-out pen and thoughtful look to the worn pages really turned me off. I avoided notebooks because I thought they were a fad.
After 3-years of keeping notebooks with me at almost all times, I cannot say that anything masterful or genius-like has taken place inside the pages I've filled. But I can tell you that my life has improved as a product of those pages. I don't know what the benefit would turn out...2020-02-1104 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThing's I Wish I'd Started Sooner: Keeping ListsCouple of agenda items covered today as well as the first musing on this week's theme "Things I Wish I'd Started Sooner." I started keeping a list of people who've impacted my life and specifically how they have impacted my life. Now, when I make a decision or a change in my life that is influenced by what someone has taught me, I can find the person and the lesson they taught me on my list and send a thank you note all in a matter of minutes. I wish I had started this list a long time ago...2020-02-1005 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeStop Giving Advice and Start Asking Better QuestionsIt turns out that hand-feeding someone the advice you know they need is way less useful than asking the right questions to help them realize the very same thing you would have told them. I used to make this mistake with every interaction. I would give out all the advice I knew someone needed, and it was great advice too, but leave them no better off than where I found them. Once you realize that communication is about more than simply stating your ideas clearly, you can change someone's life. 2020-02-0704 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeSay Yes LessMhm, oh yes, yes and I agree, yup. How often do we fall into the rut of agreeing to everything people say even when what they are saying is not something we agree with? Are we doing it in order to quickly get back to "our turn" in the conversation? Are we doing it to avoid confrontation? Whatever the reason may be, the product of that behavior is damaging. Not only do you harm the person in front of you, but you also harm yourself. 2020-02-0603 minUseful Ideas for Your Life(Gleefully) Burning BridgesIt took me a while to come to terms with the fact that some bridges are best when burned and some burning bridges can't be helped. The most important thing to grasp when burning bridges, both intentionally and accidentally, is that you must learn through it all to make it worthwhile. 2020-02-0505 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeLying to Save FaceI was so full of sh*t in undergrad that it makes me sick to remember. I owe an apology to every person who gave me their time and had it wasted by my delicate dances of conversational adeptness that lead us nowhere and kept me safe while sterilizing the conversation of anything potentially comprising to myself. I'm sorry I did not know how to be vulnerable. 2020-02-0403 minUseful Ideas for Your LifePoor Communication PracticesI've ruined many romantic relationships with poor communication practices. One of the best ways I've found to improve communication practices is to get used to speaking frequently and with vulnerability when it comes to the ideas in your head. The better you get at this the better your ideas will become as you work through the bad ideas and discover the good ideas in the process. 2020-02-0304 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeCommitmentWhen the day is long, when the week is hard, when no one is supportive, when you have to decide if you will stick to the commitment you've made, that is the moment that defines who you are. You get to decide what kind of human you will be. Will you buckle under the pressure? Or will you persevere and decide you are the type of person that pushes through the hard times? 2020-01-3103 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThe Secret of LifeThe secrets to living life well. 2020-01-3007 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeThere's HopeThere was a time when I would sleep as long as possible in order to remain unconscious for as long as I could manage. The mere idea of being awake made my stomach churn and left me feeling broken. I spent my hours wishing there was hope. Now, 3-years later, I have carved out space in my life for things I find to be important and I can see now that there was hope all along. I just didn't see it at my lowest. There's hope.2020-01-2904 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeOne Foot in Front of the OtherHow do you climb a mountain? How do you travel a distance that seems too much to conquer? How do you make a goal in your mind that seems too big to even grasp into reality? One step at a time. That's how. Don't be impeded by the way we exist, rather, see the constraints of our existence as tools that support you in your own journey. 2020-01-2804 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeSmall ThingsWe so easily get caught up in the grand things in life. We focus on the expansive view instead of the small flower. We forget about the seconds exchanged between two humans because we are focused on some year-long plan we're worrying about. Yet, if we stop and consider the small things, we can come to see that they are equally as beautiful and important as the big things. 2020-01-2703 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeLiving Everyone Else's DreamWho do you live for? Why do you make decisions? Is it to more closely align yourself with what someone else wants for your life? Or is it a sincere search within for purpose that comes from yourself and not from what other people tell you should be important to you? 2020-01-2404 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeAskingHow often do we let the voice inside keep us from reaching out and asking? If we silence the voice that tells us to be afraid of potential rejection and embarrassment, we can see that asking is not the terrible thing we make it out to be.

Choosing to live authentically will ruin some relationships but clear the way for other stronger, better ones to come into your life. What does authenticity look like in your life?2020-01-2105 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeGratitudeGratitude is more than just writing some nice things about your life in a notebook. Have you stopped and realized what gratitude means in your life? 2020-01-2004 minUseful Ideas for Your LifeDecisions that carry riskWhat does it mean to make decisions that actually carry risk?
Do we make risky decisions or do we just make decisions that carry the risk of less reward than full reward...there's a difference. If we tell ourselves that we are willing to take risks to get what we want, we should make sure we understand real risk.
