Imani Ellis has always believed community is a superpower. What began as a small gathering in her Harlem apartment grew into The Creative Collective NYC and CultureCon — one of the largest conferences celebrating creators of color. But behind the highlight reels and celebrity speakers, Imani’s journey has been defined by burnout, bold leaps and learning when to pause. In this episode, Ben and Kathleen sit down with Imani and explore what it takes to transform a passion project into a cultural movement. From balancing a demanding career at NBCUniversal with late-night CultureCon planning, to walking away from work at the height of burnout for a self-designed “creative residency” in Paris, Imani shares the realities of leadership, rest and why joy and community must stay at the center of her work.

Mountain biking is all about mindset—positive self-talk, progression, and pushing your MTB skills without pushing past your limits. In this episode, Dan and Sage share mountain bike tips on building confidence for downhill, enduro, and trail riding while keeping the laughs rolling. From jump line trains and party laps to hardtail challenges, MTB crashes, and the always-hilarious chamois cream debate, we cover the culture and the comedy of riding. Whether you’re into MTB training, downhill bike park laps, enduro racing, or just love hearing real riders talk skills, gear, and mindset, this podcast has something for you. Hit play, ride along, and laugh your way to better mountain biking! MTB Gratitude of the Week: Sage: F1RE - Huge shoutout to the F1RE Enduro ladies! Their support for each other and their ability to instantly apply coaching blew Sage away. Inspiring, impressive, and just plain awesome—MTB community at its best. Dan: Flagstaff, AZ - Flagstaff delivered big time! From the trailbuilders to following Jeff down steep, technical lines, it was all flow and stoke. Dan’s jump-line body position practice in PA paid off perfectly on the tech. Grateful for friends, trails, and the confidence MTB brings! MTB Tip of the Week: Skip the big hydration pack at lift-assisted bike parks. Sage recommends a small hip pack with three essentials: mini-pump, Stan’s Dart (or tire plug system), and a multi-tool.

Big Jumps and Angry Taints: MTB Mind Games Every Rider Struggles With [RNL S2, Ep 15] 1:00:21

9 weeks yang lalu1:00:21

1:00:21

Casing jumps vs. overshooting jumps, trusting your skills, letting go of the brakes and conquering MTB fear. Dan and Sage dive into mountain bike skills, jumping mindset, and the hidden truth about chamois cream (and a hilarious revelation!). Do you think a day at the bike park can add confidence to your next ride? Hear about an epic day at Mountain Creek Bike Park and finally clearing sketchy jumps at Blue Mountain. Learn how trust, pressure, and sessioning can transform your riding. Faster really can be smoother—if you can get past your brakes and your brain! Whether you’re on a hardtail or full-suspension, this episode is packed with mountain bike laughs, trail tips, and confidence-boosting insights to help you ride faster, smoother, and safer. MTB Gratitude of the Week: Sage: Dan - Sage is grateful for the time he spent with Danny during his latest visit to Pennsylvania. The guys flipped their perspective—realizing that traffic and slow trucks were actually for them . More traffic meant more time together in the car. Gratitude for traffic, and for going with the flow! Dan: Phoenixville Bike Park - Dan’s gratitude goes to Phoenixville Bike Park! He appreciates the well-built jumps, the chance to practice new moves, and the good vibes from the local riding community. He’s also thankful for all the riders who came out to see him while he was in town. Phoenixville Bike Park https://www.instagram.com/phoenixvillebikepark/ MTB Tip of the Week: Carry a cheap little coin purse in your pocket and fill it with electrolyte pills. If you start cramping, these pills can be a real lifesaver. On hot rides, take about two per hour to stay ahead of dehydration and keep your muscles happy.

Appreciate Your MTB Crash!? The Secret Upsides of Wiping Out on the Trail [RNL Quick Rip] 20:44

10 weeks yang lalu20:44

20:44

Mountain bike crashes — the worst part of MTB or just part of the trail life? We dive deep into the ups and downs of crashing: the pain, the broken bikes, the bloody wounds, and even the dreaded first shower after a crash. Sage and Dan get real about negative self-talk, nagging injuries, and the guilt of feeling like you ruined the ride for your friends. But it’s not all bad — crashing can bring surprising benefits. From learning powerful lessons and building resilience, to deepening friendships and finding gratitude in those who help us on the trail, crashes can be part of what makes mountain biking so meaningful. We share redemption stories, shifting perspectives, and how grace, gratitude, and positive self-talk transform the recovery journey. Whether you’re an MTB beginner or a seasoned trail shredder, this episode will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even see your last crash in a whole new light.

MTB Training Hacks, Wheel Size Wars & Chamois Cream Confessions! [RNL S2, Ep 14] 1:00:21

11 weeks yang lalu1:00:21

1:00:21

Mountain bike training, mtb workouts, and trail laughs all packed into this Ride & Laugh MTB Podcast episode! Dan shares his indoor trainer setup, ERG mode hacks, and high-cadence climbing tips, while Sage explains road bike HIIT rides, power meter training, and why cadence variety matters for slaying technical climbs on the trails. The guys debate flat pedals vs. clipless, smooth pedal strokes, and wheel size wars—32” wheels, fading 27.5’s, and whether “giant mullet bikes” could be the future. And yes, there are plenty of laughs: chamois cream “pre-creaming,” “Bull-taint!” as a new swear word and saddle sore survival. MTB Gratitude of the Week: Sage: Trek Bicycle Ardmore - Big thanks to Trek Bicycle Ardmore! After bending his derailleur hanger, Sage stopped by the shop where mechanic Anthony straightened it out on the spot—for free. Quick fix, no charge, just bikers helping bikers. Love it! Check them out here - https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/retail/ardmore/ Dan: Pivot Cycles and Action Rideshop - Shoutout to Pivot Cycles and Action Rideshop of Mesa. Dan discovered a crack in his beloved Firebird frame, and Lance at Action Rideshop handled all the warranty issues and rebuilt the bike better than ever. Pivot stood behind their bike, replacing the rear triangle at no cost. Funny enough, a busted derailleur actually revealed the crack. Proof that even bad luck can lead to good outcomes! Action bike Shops - https://www.instagram.com/actionrideshop Pivot Cycles - https://www.instagram.com/pivotcycles MTB Tip of the Week: Purchase 1-2 spare derailleur hangers to keep in your garage and in your pack. A spare derailleur hanger is light, inexpensive and easy to carry. And it can save your ride!

Mountain bike skills, hardtail riding tips, and trail laughs in one episode of the Ride & Laugh MTB Podcast! From mustache drama to fist bump etiquette, Sage and Dan mix technical advice with hilarious trail stories. Sage shares hardtail techniques for riding faster and more dynamically, while debating Garmin vs. Wahoo, underbiking, and whether speed is your friend. Plus, meet the stoked Filipino MTB crew “Padyak,” hear wild javelina encounters, and laugh through brake failures on big jumps. It’s MTB skills, comedy, and life lessons—all in one ride. MTB Gratitude of the Week: Sage: Blue Mountain Bike Park Mechanics -Huge thanks to the mechanic and crew at Blue Mountain Bike Park! Sage appreciates Mike, who offered brake parts off his own bike to help get him rolling again. And shoutout to mechanic Rob, who spent an hour trying everything to fix the bike—no luck, but no charge either! (Unless Keeton secretly paid for it… in which case, thank you too!) Dan: Matt - While Dan was riding was riding his hardtail on National Trail, he met Matt who was also on a hardtail and had experience riding National Trail. Dan got a huge confidence bump following Matt on his hardtail. Thank you Matt! MTB Tip of the Week: At downhill MTB parks, you scan a pass to access the lift. Sage recommends keeping your card in the top of your glove—it makes scanning at the chairlift quick and easy. Important: put it in your non-dominant hand! Sage learned the hard way after losing his card when he took that glove off on the lift.

13 weeks yang lalu1:01:12

1:01:12

Mountain bike hot takes, squeaky brakes, and wheel size debates — we cover it all in this week’s Ride & Laugh MTB Podcast! Whether you're flowing or overthinking on the trail, your brakes (and your shifting!) might be telling the whole story. Dan and Sage talk about the sounds of riding: skids, shifts, and... dropper posts? Yep, even your dropper post strategy says something about your mindset. Join the debate as the guys dive into wheel size wars (27.5 vs. 29 vs. the mythical 32”), the beauty of under biking, and why DJ bikes might be the ultimate challenge. Plus: chasing e-bikes, full-suspension BMX, and why Red Bull Hardline is the best thing on two wheels. Packed with laughs, insights, and hot takes — this episode is a ride. Subscribe, listen, and let us know if you’re Team Over-brake or Team Flow! MTB Gratitude of the Week: Sage: Suunto Sonics – Because silence is terrifying. After 4+ years of loyal service, Sage’s bone conduction headphones finally gave up the ghost. RIP. But thanks to a shiny new pair, the soundtrack to his road and trail rides is officially back. Whether it’s lo-fi beats or guilty-pleasure pop, Sage is once again pedaling to the rhythm. Thanks Suunto! *Purchase Here: https://amzn.to/41m8BT6 (Affiliate Link) Dan: Banshee Paradox V3 aka "The Aggressive Hardtail!" - With his full squish in the shop, Dan’s been rocking the hardtail life on the Banshee Paradox — and he’s totally here for it! The Banshee jumps like a dream, climbs like it’s angry, and reminds Dan what challenge (and thigh burn) really feel like. Thank you Banshee! MTB Tip of the Week: Shoe Goo: The MVP of MTB Footwear - Got pricey MTB shoes falling apart? Don’t toss ’em — Goo ’em. Shoe Goo is the duct tape of the MTB world (but way less sketchy), and it’ll squeeze a few extra months out of those beat-up kicks. Trails destroy shoes...

MTB Coach Training NEARLY broke Sage! Flat Pedals, Slow Speed Skills & Sweaty Hugs! [RNL S2, Ep 11] 1:03:21

14 weeks yang lalu1:03:21

1:03:21

Ride & Laugh now has an official MTB Coach on the podcast! Sage dives into his intense weekend of becoming a certified mountain bike coach — and it wasn’t easy! Humbled by beginner drills, flat pedals, and slow-speed skills, Sage shares how letting go of ego and being open to learning transformed his mindset (and riding!). ✨ It’s just like riding a roller coaster: the more you trust, relax, and let go of control — the better the ride. 💫 We also talk sweaty hug regrets (DNA transfer?!), trail stress is a sloppy drunk, and finding gratitude when the trail (or life) gets gnarly. Plus: e-bike bans, superhuman riders like Mael Feron, fat-adapted riding vs sugar bombs, and one wild javelina attack in the Arizona desert. 🐗 Oh — and yes, Dan still can’t pronounce French names. Ride with us. Laugh with us. Progress with us! 👉 Watch now on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts! MTB Gratitude of the Week: Sage: Patreon - Big shoutout to the TrailSage Patreon crew! 🙌 Your monthly support keeps Sage rolling — on the trails and in life. It truly means the world. Thank you for being part of the ride! https://www.patreon.com/TrailSage Dan: Thomas & Arturo - Massive thanks to Thomas and Arturo! When Dan’s bike broke mid-ride, he was ready to hoof it down the mountain. But these legends stepped in, worked some trailside magic, and got him gliding again. Mechanically skilled and generous? That's the dream team. Mountain bikers are the BEST! MTB Tip of the Week: 🩺 Get CPR & First Aid Trained! - Crashes happen. When they do, knowing how to help could make all the difference. A little training can go a long way — on and off the trail.
