Elspeth Beard: Seeing How Far You Can Go

Thursday, November 6, 2025 • Duration 01:05:10

Elspeth Beard was the first British woman to ride a motorcycle around the world — but this conversation isn’t about setting records. It’s an exploration of what happens when you strip life down to the essentials, face the unknown, and learn just how capable you really are.

We talk about what drove her to leave everything behind in the early 1980s, the solitude and strength she found on the road, and how that same resilience shaped her later life as an architect — including the restoration of a 130-foot Victorian water tower she calls home. Forty years on, Elspeth reflects on freedom, technology, and what adventure really means once the noise fades.

Shorts: Escaping Burnout, Finding Wonder

Thursday, October 30, 2025 • Duration 08:17

“Being on the motorcycle again felt like being that kid on a bike — just exploring with no real purpose.”

In this 8-minute segment, Eddie reflects on how his expectations of a round-the-world motorcycle trip compared to the reality: the unpredictability, the setbacks, and the surprising freedom of not having a plan. He also talks about how the road helped him reconnect with a childlike sense of curiosity and wonder, when each day felt endless and full of discovery.
