In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back my good friend Quinn Redeker, a man with an extraordinary career and an even more incredible collection of stories. As an ex-detective, SWAT officer, motor cop, and sniper for Ventura County, California, Quinn has seen it all. Now, he serves as an ambassador and motorcycle instructor for BMW Motorrad USA, combining his passion for riding with his dedication to safety and education.
Quinn and I catch up in his impressive man cave, surrounded by his prized motorcycle collection. He shares the fascinating stories behind each bike and reflects on his journey from law enforcement to his current role. We also dive into some wild tales, including my experiences being detained in three different countries.
Quinn’s insights into policing, motorcycles, and life are always engaging, and it’s an honor to have him back on the Ride Boundless Podcast. This conversation is as much about friendship as it is about adventure, and I’m excited to share it with you. -
In this special episode, I had the incredible opportunity to spend three action-packed days with the pound-for-pound champion of the world, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, at his fight camp in Truckee, California. Thanks to a personal invite from Jaime Camil, we got to experience Canelo’s intense training firsthand—running, hitting the gym, sparring, and watching him meticulously prepare for his next fight. I even tried to keep up during the long runs (spoiler: it wasn't easy!).
On the final day, I sat down with Canelo for an exclusive interview where we talked about his training camp, the people who motivate him, his love for family and food, and how he stays laser-focused on every detail. Despite being a legend, Canelo opened up about why he still feels he doesn’t always get the respect he deserves compared to other fighters.
