So how does a lifelong data scientist and former Dean with a Doctorate in Educational Equity decide to join the EBike Revolution?  By taking a cruise and discovering in port (quite by accident) how much fun riding one can be.  "My husband was always a hard core biker," explains Dr. Tina Moses, "but because of a disability with my leg, I could never ride along." That is until her husband booked an ebike adventure at the end of their cruise and she discovered (for the first time in her life) that she COULD ride a bike.  And all the fun she'd been missing.

That started a quest to learn more about the whole EBike Revolution. And the more she learned, the more she decided this was the course for her. Not just for fun, but for a new "second act career".  So she left academia and opened a Pedego Electric Bike store back in Colorado. And not just one but two, with stores in both Golden and Boulder, CO. 

The data was clear, the fun was obvious and it all added up to a new career path for this career academic. Shifting gears and going a different direction. On this week's edition of the Pedego Podcast.

Hear how a couple of active baby boomers have adapted to their age and found a way to keep pedaling and pushing themselves forward. As they continue to pursue "second act careers" in real estate and "developing influential leaders" (like themselves). And pursuing new paths that still lay before them.

So hear the story of how 60 something Brenda Hudson, (after stumbling into a Pedego Electric Bike store in Delaware across from where she was having lunch), finally found a way to keep up with her hard core, bike riding husband, Michael. Who suddenly (after her purchase) found himself in the uncomfortable position of trailing her!

Which led him to take the leap and join the eBike Revolution as well. For health and happiness (and to keep up with his wife!) Opening new trails and paths for this ever evolving power couple.  On this week's ever growing, PEDEGO PODCAST.

When Paul Rieger originally bought his Pedego Electric Bike, it was all about commuting to work.  But when his company shuttered their office and shifted to remote working, he never envisioned this would lead him to "remote riding" as well.  

As Paul says with a smirk, "once my company closed down the office and I started working out of my upstairs home office. I found that the Boomerang didn't handle stairs so well. So I stopped using it for commuting and began exploring the 50+ miles of dedicated, paved bike trails that crisscrossed my hometown of Folsom, CA."

Including the 32 mile Jedediah Smith Bike Trail (named after that famed mountain man and discoverer) that runs along the American River down to Sacramento's Discovery Park.  A trail which he now regularly patrols 6-8 hours/week as an official member of the American River Bike Patrol.

So by working from home, Paul Rieger found the time to slow down and discover a whole new world around him.  A world this "boy on his bike" began exploring like the pioneers of old, who first travelled these trails in search of gold and a place they could call home.  Bringing that journey full circle, as a new breed of ebike enthusiasts and adventurers ride the trail again from their home offices in search of newfound riches, on this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

Meet Rand Sperry and hear how he helped build the company he co-founded, Sperry Van Ness, into a national commercial real estate brokerage.  And then how after selling his interest, Rand took on the new challenge of building two new important profit centers in his family of companies. (Sperry Commercial, Inc. and Sperry Equities, LLC). Where he and his partners Burton Young and Jack Carroll acquired over 65 properties (which exceed 500 million in value).

Thru it all, he kept true to his faith and family.  Raising six kids (including daughter Keyleigh who just married Miles Teller, a co-star in Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick).  And serving on countless charitable boards like his longstanding work with WELLS OF LIFE.  While pursuing his love of travel that's now taken him to over 100 countries around the world.

A life well lived. With discussions of "what comes next?" On this week's edition of THE NEXT CHAPTER with Charlie. With our host, Charlie Hedges. Here on OC TALK RADIO.

Join us as our favorite "Irish storyteller" shares the moving story of his life and how he came to create the charity WELLS OF LIFE.  And how it's grown to become a major force for helping end the cycle of poverty and despair for poor villagers in Uganda thru the simple act of drilling a well and giving them access to clean water (for the first time in their life).
