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.

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.

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.

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 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?

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 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.

Today I am joined by college basketball legend Eric Devendorf. Eric played at Syracuse from 2005 to 2009. He averaged 15.7 points per game in his final season at Syracuse. He ranks 14th on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,680 points. Despite having one more year of eligibility remaining, Devendorf decided to leave Syracuse and embark on a pro career. He spent the next seven years playing professionally in the NBA D-League and in foreign countries such as Ukraine, Israel, Greece and New Zealand. In October 2016, he returned to Syracuse after being appointed to head coach Coach Boeheim's staff as assistant strength coach.
Eric joins me on Episode 23 of The Bus Driver Experience. Eric and I catch up on where he's been on what he's doing now. Some of he and I's crazy basketball experiences college and professionally, meditation and mindfulness and of course everything going on with hoops today.
Eric is a skills trainer in Syracuse today and be sure to check out his page below to find out how you can learn from his skills and connect with him online.

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.
