The Average Watts Podcast

In E24, I chat with TJ Eisenhart. TJ is a former road cyclist who broke away from the mold of traditional road racing and found his way to gravel and mountain bike racing. In the world of cycling, TJ is one of the brightest stars you will see, and we are not just talking talent. TJ has a personality that glows like the sun, which intern brings life, joy and hope to the sport. Not wanting to conform to the traditional model of cycling teams and sponsorship, TJ created his own team "The Imaginary Collective".
TJ is not just a cyclist though, he is also an amazing professional artist, a businessman, a husband and father.
In this episode, TJ has a very raw and unfiltered conversation with me about the power of meditation, art, and how he has no bad days, only goods ones, and he does his best to inspire others by spreading love and good vibes to everyone he meets.
*Because of how TJ does his best to be true to himself and live life in the moment, I decided this episode will be raw and unedited out of respect for TJ.

Thanks for tuning into the first episode of The Average Watts Podcast. In this episode I set down with Taylor Lideen of Phoenix, AZ. Taylor is arguably one of the best ultra-endurance mountain bike and gravel racers in the world. Some of Taylor’s accolades are 2017, 2018 True Grit Epic 100 winner. 2018 Epic Rides 24hrs in the Old Pueblo winner as well as setting the course record with 20 laps. Taylor then went on in 2018 to be second at the 24hr World Championships in Fort Williams, Scotland.

Taylor really opened up in this interview and talked about the way he approaches the sport, and the way his wife, Mary, plays such a pivotal role in his career.

Taylor also talks about how he's suffered with self-doubt, even as a pro, and how he has come back from both physical and mental adversity.

Taylor's one of those guys that completely turns himself inside and out and it's visible. You can look at his Instagram @tlideen and web site www.taylorlideen.com and see some of the photos.

In E20, I chat with YouTube personality, Shane Miller aka GPLama. Shane is from Melbourne Australia and is known for his popular YouTube channel “GPLama”.

If you’re at all a cycling fan, and cruise YouTube you’ve no doubt come across videos from Shane Miller, aka GPLama. Shane’s channel covers all things bike tech, but he has become a resident expert on everything in regards to power meters, Zwift and indoor training.

Shane talks to me about how he went from an accomplished amateur cyclist, to making a business out of cycling tech news. Shane also pulls back the curtain to the Lama Lab and shows a back stage view of the lab, and just what goes into producing his YouTube videos, as well as where the name and logo of “GPLama” came from...I bet you will be as surprised as I was.
