Ep. 56 – Patrick Farnsworth, Host of BoD

If you’ve been listening for a while you’ve probably heard me talk about my lack of expectations for the podcast. Not in a self-depricating way, but in the way that you do something that you’re passionate about for a community you love with no expectations. I didn’t tell anyone about the podcast or promote it outside of an obscure post on a small instagram account, but that didn’t stop me from quickly realizing not only the popularity of Bikepacking, but the desire for these types of interviews and stories.

Bikepacking Summit Series – Greg Hardy

On Oct. 27th 2018 I sat down with Greg Hardy of Rockgeist in his shop in Asheville, NC. What has transpired after that day can only be described as a whirlwind. On that day I started a journey that has taken me further than I realized possible or likely. However, here we are a year later and I’m sitting down with my friend Greg again.

Ep. 1 – Greg Hardy with Rockgeist

In this episode I sit down with Greg Hardy, owner of Rockgeist.  I interviewed Greg in his shop and we had a great conversation ranging from owning a business to finding time to get away and ride.  

Personal Notes from the show

Sitting down with Greg Hardy, Owner of Rockgeist, I think will go down as one of the more pivotal moments in my life.  It woke up a part of me that has been asleep for a very long time.  As people we love to fit in, but finding exactly where our little puzzle piece goes in this crazy world we live in is a challenge that I think few overcome.  When I had the idea of a bikepacking podcast something clicked and resonated with me.  When I reached out to Greg with the idea something clicked.  When I sat down in his shop in Asheville, NC something clicked.  There is a long sequence of events that led me to this point.  It’s weird how life works.  I guess some of my piece are starting to fall into place and I like it..
