I created The Bus Driver Experience as a way to gain a new perspective from the unique lives of other people - Olympic athletes, monks, porn stars - to not just learn, but EXPERIENCE what it’s like to be in their shoes for a day.

And do it in a way unlike how every other travel/interview show does it. Most other shows merely talk with these individuals.

But talking with these people isn’t enough for me.

I want to live their unique story. To understand not only what they go through in their day to day, but also why they’re doing it. Follow me on YouTube for videos of the experiences with my guests, and other content.

These experiences and others brought Lizbeth's interests and the community together enabled a strong foundation which has shaped her activism and public service through engaged digital scholarship.

I met Lizbeth last year while I was on assignment for AJ+. I was covering the Playas de Tijuana Mural Project in Tijuana.

Watch that video here

While covering her story I was moved not only by her work but the many individuals I spoke with. Many of them have been negatively effected by the immigration policy between the United States and Mexico. Lizbeth and I jump right into supreme court rulings that recently took place, ICE and childhood detainees on our southern border.

Self-Help and Therapy in a Shot Glass - John Kim (The Angry Therapist) - Ep. 33 Jun 12, 2020

John Kim (The Angry Therapist) pioneered the online life coaching movement seven years ago, after going through a divorce which led to his total re-birth. He quickly built a devoted following of fans who loved the frank and authentic insights that he freely shared on social media. He pulled the curtain back and showed himself by practicing transparency and sharing his story something therapists are taught not to do. Kim became known as an unconventional therapist who worked out of the box by seeing clients at coffee shops, on hikes, in a CrossFit box. He quickly built a coaching team of his own and launched a sister company called JRNI, creating a new way to help people help people and change the way we change.

Johns podcast The Angry Therapist, delivers self-help and therapy in a shot glass, ten minutes or less. Love Hard. Resist Nothing. Self-Help and Therapy in a Shot Glass. I highly suggest you check out Johns podcast wherever you consume podcasts.

I am a big fan of his work. Like the unusual conversations I have on my show John is having conversations with men, women, couples and the youth that most people aren't having. John and I go over not only what it means to be a man in todays day and age but how the generational divide shape dating and relationships.

Please enjoy this episode and check out Johns work below.

All Sources Are Not Equal - James Underdown - Bus Driver Experience - Ep. 29 May 18, 2020

James Underdown has been the executive director of The Center for Inquiry (CFI) Los Angeles since 1999. The Center for Inquiry is a non-profit educational organization with headquarters in Amherst, New York, whose primary mission is to foster a secular society based on science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values. CFI Los Angeles is the largest branch in the organization outside Amherst.

Underdown founded the Independent Investigations Group (IIG), a volunteer-based organization, in January 2000 at the Center for Inquiry-West (now Center for Inquiry-Los Angeles) in Hollywood, California.

Alex Epstein - Bus Driver Experience - Ep. 26 May 07, 2020

Alex Epstein is a philosopher who argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of industrial and environmental progress.

He founded Center for Industrial Progress (CIP) in 2011 to offer a positive, pro-human alternative to the Green movement.

Epstein is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (Penguin, 2014), a New York Times bestseller arguing that if we look at the whole picture, human flourishing requires that humanity use more fossil fuels not less. (WSJ review here.) The book has been widely praised as the most persuasive argument ever made for our continuing use of fossil fuels, winning Epstein the “Most Original Thinker of 2014” award from The McLaughlin Group.

Alex has some hot takes on the issues of climate change and science but why are they so controversial. If we are to completely step away from fossil fuels how much energy output would we use? What would our lives look like without fossil fuels?

What Do You Do When Your Game is Gone - AJ Rompza - Ep. 24 Apr 30, 2020

What do you do when all you know is taken away from you?

You could be a basketball player, a coal miner, or a banker when you cant perform all you know or your job doesn't exist next what do you next?

AJ Rompza was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. AJ was recruited to play basketball at The University of Central Florida in 2008. AJ had an amazing four-year career at UCF which led to memorable shots and is arguably the most beloved player in UCF history.

On his first pro tryout, AJ suffered a broken leg and was sidelined for a few months. He was still afforded the option to play basketball in Venezuela and in 2012. Now since AJ has stepped away from playing basketball he coaches, trains and speaks on achieving great success on and off the basketball court through pure passion and incredible practice.

AJ currently lives in LA where I have had the chance to connect and work with him over the past few months.

Scott Solomon - The Evolution of Viruses and Infectious Diseases - Ep. 22 Apr 20, 2020

Are we still evolving? If we are evolving what factors do you look at in people to determine if we are still evolving? What historical trends are likely to continue? Why can single-celled organisms evolve so much quicker or mutate at least? Is a mutation an evolution?

Scott Solomon is a biologist, professor, and science communicator. He teaches ecology, evolutionary biology, and scientific communication as an Associate Teaching Professor at Rice University in Houston. He has a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from the University of Texas at Austin where his research examined the evolutionary basis of biological diversity in the Amazon Basin. He has taught field biology at Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado and developed a complete digital lecture series on the modern science of evolution with The Great Courses. Before coming to Rice, he worked as a visiting researcher with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC and São Paulo State University in Rio Claro, Brazil. His current research examines the interactions between native and non-native ants, the impacts of extreme flooding on ant communities, ant foraging behavior, and the co-evolution between ants and microbes. He is currently a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Tropical Ecology. Dr. Solomon often speaks and writes about science at schools, museums, churches, science cafés, TEDx events, and other venues and has appeared on radio broadcasts on NPR and the BBC World Service and television series such as NASA’s Unexplained Files and Life 2.0. His writing and photography have appeared in publications such as NBC News, Slate, Aeon, Nautilus, and Wired and his first book, Future Humans: Inside the Science of Our Continuing Evolution was published by Yale University Press and was included on the 2017 Best Book List by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Of course, our conversation was heavily oriented around COVID-19. Because COVID-19 is a virus it is a unique parasite that can only be combated with a vaccine. YES A VACCINE! Scott brings a wealth of knowledge to the show and we explore the evolution of viruses, humans and why we humans are a prime target for these diseases.

Shawn Baker - The Carnivore Diet - Ep. 21 Apr 13, 2020

On this week's Bus Driver Experience, we have another return guest to the show. He is an orthopedic surgeon, world record-holding athlete, a former soldier and most recently the author of The Carnivore Diet, Shawn Baker.

His focus in recent years has been on using nutrition as a tool for health, performance, and overall well-being. Through his Carnivore Training System and private consulting work, he has inspired countless thousands of others to challenge a highly flawed nutritional paradigm and to opt for a carnivorous lifestyle instead.

"The Carnivore Diet reviews some of the supporting evolutionary, historical, and nutritional science that gives us clues as to why so many people are having great success with this meat-focused way of eating. It highlights dramatic real-world transformations experienced by people of all types."

Shawn is the CEO at MeatRx, a forum for those interested or practicing the carnivore diet. The site offers consultations, online social support meetings to help you stay accountable, specialized online meetings to help reach your goals, and exclusive deals on meat, grills, and merchandise.

After hearing Shawn on Joe Rogan's podcast I had some pretty unique results from the diet. For more information check out my first podcast with Shawn and click the links below to connect with Shawn and the carnivore community.

Rob Garza Ep. 18 Feb 26, 2020

Bus Driver Experience

Rob Garza Ep. 18

“We’ve never been concerned with fitting into the ‘music industry.’ We started making music in the liquor room of DC’s Eighteenth Street Lounge with random bits of music gear among boxes of spirits. Approaching our music as a production duo has allowed us to never feel limited to one particular sound and traverse many fascinating musical landscapes.”

- Rob Garza

After a long hiatus, I am excited to bring the Bus Driver Experience back to the podcast airwaves with a legend of the music industry, Rob Garza. Rob is one half of, Thievery Corporation, an American electronic music duo. Their musical style mixes elements of dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern music, hip hop, electronica, and Brazilian music, including bossa nova. They decided to see what would come of mixing all these in a recording studio, and from this, in 1996 the duo started their Eighteenth Street Lounge Music record label.

Rob has been DJ'ing and exploring more his love of electronic music embracing more nu-disco, boogie and deep house. Influenced by his involvement with La Santanera and Canibal Royal in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. His sets and remixes reflect another side not typically associated with the Thievery sound.

His new project, Garza, is a deep reimagining of a process that features a collective of artists, musicians, producers, visual artists, and videographers. With multidimensional music and convergence of genres; it blends, merges and melds together into one singular experience.

They are currently touring through the US and Canada, check for tour dates here.

Aimee Bernstein - Stress Less Achieve More - Ep. 16 Oct 01, 2019

Millennials and every generation thereafter are going to go through faster and greater transformational change than anyone before us could have ever imagined.

Arjun Dheer - Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of Large Carnivores - Ep. 14 Sep 09, 2019

Most of my listeners are from the West and most of my listeners never had a chance to go to the front lines. Most of them never got the chance to see the destruction, the devastation or even the day to day of peoples and animals from around the world. We rely on the news, we rely on journalists but sometimes those reports come with bias and agendas.

Today I'm joined by someone who is not just living on the front lines but studying large carnivores at the Ngorongoro Crater, the the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. There's been talks of plastic straws killing sea turtles and that if we ban them we can save the turtle. It's also been forecasted that we are in our planets 6th mass extinction phases. I talk with Arjun of the effects of climate change and the human footprint on the environment he works and the world as a whole.

Arjun Dheer is a National Geographic Early Career grantee with a keen interest in the ecology, evolution, and conservation of large carnivores. He has worked in several field sites and countries in sub-Saharan Africa since 2013, with a particular focus on using behavioral and evolutionary ecology to promote conservation outcomes. Arjun joined the Ngorongoro Hyena Project of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin, Germany, as a PhD student in 2017. His project focuses on the mitigation of human-carnivore conflict in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. He bridges behavioral ecology with applied conservation biology by directly monitoring spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) clans and collaborating closely with the local Maasai community using a variety of field and laboratory techniques. His major aim is to understand the scope and drivers of conflict between the Maasai and large carnivores in the area and to relay rigorous, evidence-based scientific findings back to the local authorities, community members, and academic circles alike.

Aly Moore (Bugible) - On A Mission To Open Minds and Mouths - Ep. 13 Sep 03, 2019

After studying public health at Yale University, Aly Moore searched for a way to address the challenges to feed our growing sustainably and nutritiously feed our growing population. Who knew all it would take was eating cricket tacos in Mexico after a night out on the town. She started Bugible.com a blog to support the growing insect agriculture industry and slowly grew a cult following on Instagram. In order to reach broader audiences, Eat Bugs Events where Aly has hosted educational events like Bug & Wine Pairings, Bug Dinners & Bug Cooking Classes all around the world.

Since, Bugible has become the leading media & PR brand for the insect agriculture industry, appearing on Netflix's Bill Nye, Food & Wine, Forbes, & others. Today, Bugible focuses on continuing to spread awareness about other sustainable and nutritious potential of bugs through collaborations with institutions of all kinds from the International Culinary Center, Yale University, Parks & Recreation Districts, or even the Girl Scouts of America.

Although I've tried eating insects before Aly opened up my eyes to the bigger problems insect agriculture is trying to solve, SUSTAINABILITY. Imagine having to use a fraction of the farmland we normally use for cattle? Imagine increasing the biodiversity of the soil and enriching the land with bug fertilizers? Decreasing CO2 emissions and feeding billions of more people?

Kirra Cheers - The Hypersexuality of the Female Figure - Ep. 10 Jul 30, 2019

Today on the show, again, we're going to be tackling the idea of censorship. The people who think things shouldn't be seen or things shouldn't be expressed, or the idea that certain things when they're portrayed are going to project bad ideas is a big responsibility in our society. And in this democracy, in the republic, in the free state that we get to live in, it's very unique privilege to be able to decide what can be said, what can be seen.

Today's guest is Kirra Cheers. Kirra is a photographer/director whose work explores themes of connection and sexuality within an urban dating culture. Originally from Australia, Kirra now lives and works in New York City. She is currently living in New York City. She's a photo based journalist who looked at questions and looks at dating in an urban environment.

For today's show, Kirra and I are topless during this podcast and we're going to be pushing the bounds and the limits of Google, Facebook, Instagram and the ways they limit and censor what and how things can be seen and perceived.

If you're in New York City, please go check out her show at the box August 24th. It is a Free The Nipple Party.

Tayo Rockson - The Power of Inclusivity - Ep. 9 Jul 23, 2019

Inclusivity is defined as an intention or policy of including people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized. Now. Where you may stand on this word, its definition and how it's perceived today. Some people believe this is the most inclusive time. And some people believe this is the most exclusive time. So today I'm bringing on an expert and someone who I believe not just talks great to inclusive communities, but also exclusive communities without making anybody feel marginalized.

I present to you Tayo Rockson. Tayo is a keynote speaker and author in New York City. He specializes in working with companies and corporations, helping to bring them into a digital age. Titles become a good friend of mine, not just a buddy I podcast with here and there. And we had an incredible conversation, conversations about inclusivity versus exclusivity. Are we living in the most inclusive time? And what is America's stance and what is the betrayal and message we are trying to portray and convey to the rest of world, being the leaders in how we want this world to move in a moral and positive direction? And of course, Tayo and I got into, you know, a little bit of Twitter talk, Lionel Messi verse, Christiano Ronaldo, who's the better player? Who has a better legacy?

Please enjoy the show.

And do it in a way unlike how every other travel/interview show does it. Most other shows merely talk with these individuals.

But talking with these people isn’t enough for me.

I want to live their unique story. To understand not only what they go through in their day to day, but also why they’re doing it. Follow me on YouTube for videos of the experiences with my guests, and other content.

What can independent creators do against a youtube that favors corporations? What problems does this cause and where is the future of news and media headed?

This week we explore these questions with independent youtube creator, news analyst and hip hop composer - An0maly, who’s here with us on the bus!

An0maly is a world-renowned news commenter and hip-hop artist. With over 250 million+ views to his name, he’s garnered a cult following for his views on politics, traditional news outlets and the media as a whole. His goal is to lead the charge to restore common sense, truth, knowledge & wisdom in the entertainment world.

This week we got the chance to learn how a politically charged youtube channel sees the newest youtube algorithm changes. And with the release of the creator Coffeebreak’s video (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDqBeXJ8Zx8) we explore his views on how the Youtube algorithm change affects independent creators, why it favors big corporations and the platform’s problem as a whole. From there, learn about what’s the toughest parts about talking politics on Youtube, how powerful Google really is, where the future of media is headed and why you should question everything.

Shawn Baker - Everything You Didn't Know About Meat - Ep. 6 Jul 08, 2019

How INSANE would it be to only eat meat for the rest of your life? Wouldn’t you need supplements or something? And hey, isn’t eating loads of red meat bad for you? The answer to all of this might be, surprisingly, no…

Everybody, please welcome Dr. Shawn Baker to the show. Both a lifelong elite-level athlete and huge carnivore diet advocate, he uses his knowledge from his years as an orthopedic surgeon to break the rules around nutrition and challenge the status quo on what IS healthy for you.

He’s a multiple weightlifting world record holder, has served in the United States Air Force as the chief of orthopedics and is the one who wrote the actual book on the carnivore diet. His range of knowledge on meat, the human body and history seems endless at times, which is what I love so much about him, and I think you’ll enjoy it too.

So please sit back and enjoy as we explore everything meat in this episode. From how our sources of food have changed over history, to the pros and cons of going on the carnivore diet to finally talking about nutrition and how meat affects our bodies and our minds.

Enjoy the ride!

Imagine being the first person to ever represent your country in the Olympic games. And then winning the medal…

How would that one event change your life?

Everybody, meet Tony Jeffries - Olympic Bronze Medalist, international trainer and founder of the best boxing gym in all of L.A., Box N’ Burn.

Tony was the first boxer from Tyne and Wear to have ever qualified for the 2008 summer Olympics. On top of winning the bronze medal that year, he’s won 7 British boxing titles, several multi-international ones and has been in over 106 fights throughout his career.

After retiring from professional boxing due to hand injuries, he became an international coach and trainer at his gym, Box N' Burn - named "California's #1 Gym" by Men's Fitness Magazine.

In this episode, Tony talks business - how he trained and got to the Olympics, what he does differently when working with clients and what his thoughts on boxing are today.

The man is naturally hilarious, knows what's up and is just plain fun to talk to. Which made this week's episode, personally, a blast to listen to.

Enjoy the show!

Brittany Berger - You Aren’t Your Identity - Ep. 4 Jun 03, 2019

“How is your identity holding you back? And where does the fear of being judged come from?”

Everybody, please welcome Brittany Berger - published best-selling author of “25 and selfish” and motivational speaker on topics of self-worth, authenticity, and empowerment in your life.

She’s been featured in Brickell’s top 20 professionals under 40 and is currently in the works of publishing her next book.

Brittany, in the span of 3 years, left her high-level “safe” job in a successful career, moved to another country and published a best-selling book on her most vulnerable thoughts in this stage of her life. And from there, she's managed to create a full-blown career out of it!

So in this episode, we delve into the emotional side of how somebody does all that. Why did she write her book? How did she have to change her identity to do it? How did everybody react to her decisions? And most importantly: how do people see you when you show that level of vulnerability to them?

Brittany is an incredible speaker and life coach. And in this episode, I’m sure you’ll be just as captivated by her words, and advice, as I was.

Enjoy her story.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Why Brittany left her job to go to another country and write her book.
How she views failure and what spurred her into a career as an author, as well as a public speaker.
How your identity holds you back. And where the fear of being judged comes from.
Why people crave a certain level of vulnerability, and what makes others see that?
How the way you view others differs from how you view yourself.
And much more!
