    Jun 5 2025

    Welcome to the Coin Chronicles, an epic fantasy audio series.

    The ruthless, soul stealing games of the Gods are unleashing supernatural and sinister forces throughout the land. Amidst all this chaos is a child searching for the lost souls of his family, a woman losing herself to the Maze, and a godless warrior who will make the powerful pay.

    This is a brutal universe of two worlds - the Kingdoms above, a land of greed and power, and the Maze below, a mystical place where magic is around every corner. It’s a story of Gods and tributes, of rogue demigods and betrayal, and rebellious, desperate humans all seeking victory of that oldest and deadliest of prizes: coin. Together, they weave a story of worlds with traps and tricks, bargains and unkept promises, fragmented souls and murder.

    If you haven’t listened before, it’s best to start with chapter 1, which is episode 58.

  • 73. E-Rips: Slaying Dragons on Monarch Crest, CO
    May 15 2025
    Epic Rippers - A grueling 36.5-mile ride across Colorado’s Monarch Crest, where sweat, suffering, and a beat-to-hell Specialized trail bike become the tools to carve away life’s baggage. In this episode, we explore a story of heartbreak, loss, and the clarifying pain of pedaling through 5,000 feet of elevation gain. From the Continental Divide’s sweeping views to a dusty bar burger that tastes like victory, this tale asks: Why do we cling to stories that hurt us, and how can suffering set us free? This episode is a raw reflection on resilience, the lies we tell ourselves, and the trails that teach us to rise again. Pour a glass, clip in, and ride along for a story that’s as punishing as it is profound. Details: Drink Pairing- Oaky bourbon (e.g., Knob Creek Single Barrel), served neat to mirror the ride’s raw intensity.
