"I'm Gonna Get Mine Before I Get Got" with Sam Gray
2w ago01:02:45Tap to summarizeSam Gray was born in Orange, CA. The oldest of six boys, growing up felt like living in a locker room: sweaty and loud. If the walls could speak, the gashes would tell tales of baseball impacts and errant fists. He finished high school in Springville, UT, where he and his friends spent their days skurfing canals and blowing stuff up. The black sheep of the family, he became the “art freak,” studying graphic design and graduating from the BYU Design BFA program. He’s spent years nurturing a successful design career, specializing in branding and brand strategy, but unfortunately, he peaked* way back in high school when he was chosen to create the Springville High red devil logo (which is still in use today, and can be found on every trailer hitch cap and bumper sticker in town). *He once got out of a speeding ticket while in city limits because of this claim to fame. After graduating from college, he took a wife and moved to NYC to be a big shot designer. They only lived in the city long enough to become addicted to Fairway bagels, which ruined their expectations of bagels for life. They soon moved to the Bay Area, bouncing around Berkeley and Oakland for almost a decade. They popped out three kids, and somewhere along the way, Sam found his one true love: cycling. Sam started with a thrifted road bike in the hills above Berkeley, eating asphalt several times. When the family moved to Utah, he set his sights on the canyons and forced his wife to buy a house on Wasatch Blvd for easy access. He then spent their life savings on bikes and gear, and especially APPAREL. But, at least he looks good doing it.

"BIG GOALS FOR 2026" with Melisa Rollins
Feb 2300:57:04Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Stuart and Chip catch up with professional gravel and mountain bike racer Melissa “Mel” Rollins as she reflects on a transformative few years. Mel shares how she went from working as a chemist in a kidney stone lab to betting on herself, quitting her full-time job, and ultimately winning Leadville in 2024. She talks candidly about the mental side of that leap—dealing with pressure, redefining her goals after a dream result, and learning to see herself as more than “just” a Leadville specialist. Mel walks through her 2025 season goals (from winning a sprint finish to conquering singletrack), the crash that left her with two broken wrists, and how she came back stronger. The conversation then looks ahead to Cape Epic 2026, where Mel will team up with world champion Kate Courtney. She explains how the pairs format works, what it takes to race eight brutal days in South Africa, what she’s learning from training with Kate, and how she uses process goals, preparation, and adaptability as her “superpowers” on race day. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of long-distance love across time zones, tent camping in South Africa, mid‑valley community roots, and what it really feels like to chase big, scary dreams with your whole heart.

Mitch shares how riding with his dad shaped both his cycling and their relationship, how he balances big rides with being a loan officer, husband, and dad of three, why loyalty and positivity are his core values, and the power of team community to make suffering on the bike something you actually look forward to.
