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

Show notes

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.

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.

Rob Garza Ep. 18 Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

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.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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?
