  #235 - Peter Stetina: From World Tour to Gravel, Finding Your Why

  Aug 16, 20261h 10mS3

  Peter Stetina is a professional gravel racer, former World Tour cyclist, father of twins, and one of the early architects of modern professional gravel racing. In this conversation, we dive deep into his career transition from the pressure-cooker of European road cycling to the emerging gravel scene—and what that journey taught him about identity, sacrifice, and what actually matters. We talk about the cost of making your body your job, the realization that comes when you're forced to let go of the dream you've chased since childhood, becoming a parent mid-career, the people who stick around when things get hard, and why "a happy racer is a fast racer" might be the most important lesson he's learned in 20 years as a professional athlete. This is a conversation about transitions, perspective, and finding peace in a life spent chasing something bigger than yourself.

  #234 - James Cunnama: Identity, Mental Health, and Finding Your Way Back

  Aug 9, 20261h 21mS3

  James Cunnama is a former professional triathlete who finished top 5 in Kona, won Challenge Roth, and made a career of endurance. But his real story isn’t about race results—it’s about who he became after crossing the finish line. In this raw and honest conversation, James opens up about losing his identity when he retired from pro sport, struggling with suicidal thoughts, and learning that presence matters more than podiums. We discuss his coaching philosophy on removing friction to enable passion, why small daily improvements compound into life transformation, and how fatherhood forced him to answer the hardest question: Who am I? James also shares his last day working at GTN after five years, what his kids have taught him about what really matters, and why you can't help others until you're willing to reach out for help yourself. This is a conversation about mental health, purpose, family, and the often-invisible struggle behind someone who looks like they have it all figured out.

  #233 - Jeremiah Bishop: What 30 Years of Racing Taught Him About Fathers, Failure, and Perspective

  Aug 2, 20261h 29mS3

  Jeremiah Bishop has spent over 30 years racing bikes at the highest level — national titles, ultra-endurance expeditions, and the Impossible Route , a documentary series he created that's racked up millions of views chasing unfinishable rides across deserts most people would never attempt. He just turned 50, and instead of slowing down, he won every race he entered this season. In this conversation, Jeremiah and I get into what three decades of racing all over the world actually taught him — not about training, but about perspective: how differently the world looks depending on who's telling the story, what he learned about America from wearing the national team jersey abroad, and why he's become wary of curated narratives, whether from a broker, a news network, or his own competitive ego. We also talk about fatherhood, growing up without his own dad from age four, and how a mother battling addiction shaped both his drive and his eventual peace with her. Jeremiah opens up about chasing validation through competition for most of his career, and the slow work of learning that fulfillment has to come from execution, not outcome. We close on stoicism, fear as "the mind killer," and his honest answer to what it would mean to have lived a fulfilled life. This one goes deep — from bike racing and media literacy to grief, mentorship, and what it actually means to make peace with the past.

  #232 - Mango Fetzer: Sailing the Atlantic, Surviving a Home Invasion & the Wisdom of Dream Big

  Jul 26, 20261h 43mS3

  Mango Fetzer is Luke Fetzer's mom — and one of the most vibrant, well-lived humans I've ever had the privilege of talking to. She's spent a decade sailing across oceans, worked as a private chef around the world, survived a beaten-bound-and-bagged home invasion in Panama, and taught her kids to see life as a gift, every single day, no matter what. This conversation went places I didn't expect. Mango talks about looking a masked intruder in the eyes and telling him to look at her before he pulled the trigger. She talks about coping with PTSD through Heart Math breathing techniques and cracking Australian stock whips with an old cowboy neighbor. We get into her decade sailing the Atlantic — the doldrums, the Cape Verde Islands, a retired naval captain who couldn't tolerate the smell of curry, waking up to bioluminescent dolphins outside Antigua at night. We also talk about her mother's final moments, watching the sunrise clouds burst as she passed, the ginkgo tree Luke planted in the front yard the day they bought their Laguna Beach home, and why she believes the more people you tell your dreams to, the more likely they are to actually happen. This one is a masterclass in living wide open. Bring tissues. Bring wonder.

  #231 - Elliott Teller: The Founder of People's Endurance on China Manufacturing, Fatherhood & Building Freedom to Build

  Jul 19, 20261h 40mS3

  Elliott Teller is the founder of People's Endurance — a cycling and running apparel company built on a simple bet: that quality doesn't have to come with a brand tax. He's also a former director of photography, a tech sales guy turned entrepreneur, a new dad, and someone who spent his first two years running the business on virtually no sleep while juggling APAC hours, a newborn, and a wife going back to work with barely any paid leave. Elliott sits down with me to talk about leaving the film industry after watching too many burned-out, divorced veterans warn him off it, his seven years in tech sales that started with a week-long trial run and an air mattress in a buddy's home office, and the wild timing of quitting his job the same week his wife found out she was pregnant. We get into the actual mechanics of the apparel industry — dyed versus sublimated fabrics, why manufacturing still has to happen in Asia, and the privateer model he's building to let athletes sponsor themselves instead of chasing brand deals that rarely pay. We also go deep on parenting, mitochondria and longevity, the small daily decisions that keep your internal compass tuned, and why he thinks bigger brands are starting to quietly copy his playbook. This one's for anyone building something from scratch while also trying to keep a tiny human alive.
