| Simpson Desert in a Jeep Grand Cherokee – Turning 4WDing Into a Career & Finding Real Mates | 03 May 2026 | 00:47:44 | |
In this episode, I sit down with Lucas from Fulcrum Suspension to chat about how he got into 4WDing, and how that passion eventually turned into a career in the industry. We talk through his journey from early trips and learning the ropes, to now working in the 4WD space, what that actually looks like day-to-day, and the reality of turning something you love into your job. Lucas also shares what it was like crossing the Simpson Desert in a Jeep Cherokee, the challenges that come with a trip like that, and what you really learn about yourself (and your setup) when you’re that remote. We also get into a more real conversation around mateship, the kind of trips he does with his group, why they’re not just about partying, and how important it is to have genuine people around you. We touch on men’s mental health, connection, and why getting away on trips like this can mean a lot more than people realise. If you’re into 4WDing, travel, or just figuring out how to build a lifestyle around what you enjoy, this one’s for you. 🎧 New episodes of The Solo Experience Podcast drop every Monday.

| Solo Travel Safety: Trusting Your Gut While Travelling Alone | 12 Apr 2026 | 00:36:09 | |
In this episode, I’m sharing a moment that truly tested my instincts while travelling solo. Alone at a remote campsite with no reception, I found myself in a situation that for most might not have felt right… and I had to decide whether to stay or trust my gut and leave. Solo travel is often seen as freeing and empowering, and it is but there are also moments that challenge your sense of safety. This episode isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness.

| How Do You Step Away When You’ve Built a Name for Yourself? | ExploreJimny | 29 Mar 2026 | 00:43:53 | |
In this episode, I sit down with Malin from ExploreJimny & owner of RUGD, who built a strong name for herself within the Jimny community through Instagram and YouTube. We talk about what it really takes to grow a presence online, the pressure that can come with it, and the reality that sometimes… you can’t do it all. While juggling full-time work and a growing business, and showing up not only online but also within the Jimny community for social days, camp trips and helping those new to the 4x4 space, Malin reached a point where something had to give — and she made the tough decision to take a step back from the space she’d built. This is a conversation about identity, priorities, and what it looks like to choose a different path, even when it’s not the easy one.
