He Biked 74,000 km Alone. The Hardest Part Wasn't the Biking. | Samer Abouhamad on Yo Munir Ep 57
Samer Abouhamad has taken the path less traveled. He left his expected path of a real estate career in New York, went to Beirut after the 2020 port explosion, and pedaled out of his parents' driveway in Brookline, MA. Three and a half years later he had ridden 74,000+ km across six continents and 60+ countries, solo and self supported, sleeping wherever strangers would let him.In Episode 57, Rob and Munir speak with Samer about why starting is harder than any mountain pass, what he learned about strangers, why you should be comfortable along, and how to keep going when you're back home and the road is pedicab in Boston. We also get into family games (Catan, Spit, Werewolf), his mom (and past Yo Munir guest) Rania Matar's photography (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5OFMIODxvf2bMJVub2A6OF?si=fbaeaeb9a15d406a), packing everything for 61 countries, and a mixtape of songs for the open road, including ones that could get you through Indiana (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0wXyj94LQQhk9uFK6IX6br?si=07UJYnFFTp2ociuq-ywtEA).

Dave "Money" Check: From Michael Jordan to 9/11, and Why "Work Smarter, Not Harder" Is Wrong
Four decades of sports and original programming: NBA Entertainment in the Jordan era, 12 years running MLB Productions, and now ABC's 9/11: United We Stand 25 Years Later. Dave Check joins Rob, his former mentee, and Munir for a conversation about passion, relationships, and building teams that win.
Dave talks about his bookie uncle whose candy store had no candy, his first day on the job at the 1998 home run chase, and the call he made to his daughter the day MLB Productions ended.
Dave's creativity advice: be curious, be open, be prepared, and leave your hubris at the door.
Catch our mixtape of songs that remind us of NYC (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6h0gMSloNAVSk2ZKRXszY2?si=qvmKchQbRcS-2jeYg52izg) in the '80s and '90s.
Dedicated to the memory of Jeff Scott.

Cars, Coffee, and a Funeral Home Parking Lot | YM Ep 55 with Nick Vorderman
He broke his first car doing donuts in a funeral home parking lot on his 16th birthday, right after he got the keys.Twenty years later, Nick's obsession with cars and cooking became his café and lifestyle brand, Sunday Motor Co.Nick Vorderman grew up in a car-dealership family in Indiana and Michigan. He pursued acting and directing in New York City and paid his rent bartending and working back of house through the City's vibrant hospitality scene. Then, sitting backstage, in full makeup, before an off-Broadway run, it hit him, "I don't wanna do this." He pivoted to photography, then hospitality marketing, then alongside his wife and business partner, Renee, an interior designer, he combined every chapter of his life into Sunday Motor Co., a car-culture café that survived a seven-week COVID shutdown three months after opening and has since expanded to West Palm Beach. Rob reads Ray Oldenburg's definition of a "third place" to Nick, describing a space where showing up is always welcome and never required, and thanks Nick for building exactly that for him.Munir trades off-Broadway stories of his own. And Rob shares a moment from his own life: being told by his father that becoming a doctor wasn't the practical path he thought it was. Which was a family head fake that Nick's own detour between the family dealership and a creative life. Most people treat their passions like a fork in the road, pick one, leave the other behind. Nick's story is what happens when you refuse to choose. What's the moment you realized you didn't want to do something anymore? And what did you build instead?
