We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

The ride spans from Georgia to Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma over nearly three weeks. The Remember the Removal Bike Ride was started by the Cherokee Nation in 1984 with the intent for Cherokee youth to retrace the Trail of Tears and get a glimpse of the hardships their ancestors faced when they made the same trek on foot years before. The ride became an annual event starting in 2009 and today, riders are selected based on an interview process. Then, the selected riders train for six months and also learn about the history of the Cherokee . During the bike tour, riders get re-connected with their past, honoring and visiting the historic landmarks and unmarked graves of their Cherokee ancestors. Amaiya was part of the 2023 team and is on today to tell us about her experience. https://rtr.cherokee.org/ https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/remember-the-removal-bike-ride.htm https://shop.visitcherokeenation.com/ www.murphologypodcast.com Email me at murphologypodcast@gmail.com if you have a topic or the name of a cyclist you find interesting.

There are many ways to enjoy a bicycle tour whether you join an event, pay someone to provide logistics, or you do all the planning yourself. On this episode meet Zach Ostrander from Summit Cycle Solutions. He started this all encompassing logistics company back in 2016 when he noticed a strong need for logistics specific to cycling. Summit Cycle Solutions does everything from full service, like ordering port of pots, filing permits, securing venues and hotels or camping for events, or they will take on one or two components of an event that a ride director may need help with. They also provide logistics support for private tours of 50 riders. Zach takes his job very seriously. He knows we as riders are trusting him and his company with our time and our vacation. A few rides that Summit Cycle Solutions are part of are the Triple Bypass and Colorado’s Ride in Colorado, and Cycle North Carolina Mountains to Coast. Events range from a long weekend to weeklong tours that take place in breathtaking places. Zach and his team work hard so riders can enjoy themselves without worrying about logistics. I got to see Zach and his team in action during Colorado’s Ride and was very impressed. They worked long hours, balanced many tasks seamlessly, and still brought the hype to the event! You can learn more about Summit Cycle Solutions and the events they are part of at summitcyclesolutions.com. Or email Zach at info@summitcyclesolutions.com and sign up for their newsletter so you are in the know.

Have you heard of the Florida 500? This is an ultra endurance bike race that starts in Jacksonville FL and Finishes in Key West, giving riders over 530 miles of some of the fastest and flattest stretches of roads in the world. You can race as a solo unsupported rider, a solo supported rider, or as a Team Relay with 2, 4 or 8 riders. Today on the podcast meet cyclist Dan Swenson. Dan is an ultra endurance racer who lives in the high mountains of Colorado where he balances his professional time coaching others as an Endurance Sports Coach, owning and operating Dogma Athletica, a boutique fitness center, and as a small business consultant. He did the Florida 500 as a Team Relay with Mike Garcia and they won in their category. It took almost 27 hours for the duo to pedal 535 miles complete with nonstop headwind. They took turns pedaling 40 minutes and then taking 40 minute breaks as they made their way along the Atlantic coastline to Key West.

You'll hear us talk about a neck surgery Dan underwent just after completing the Florida 500.

TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE DISCUSSION. On this episode Dan Hurd, AKA Lt. Dan joins me, and we talk a considerable amount about the sensitive topic of suicide so please be aware. Dan himself has attempted suicide several times and lucky for him, and all of us, he found the bicycle and it changed his life for the better. He had only been on a few rides when he decided to join a friend for a long ride. As we all do at times, as the miles ticked away, the complaining started and Dan’s friend came back at Dan with some tough love and a phrase that stuck…one pedal at a time. The bicycle became Dan’s new obsession and he went from just a guy on a bike to a cyclist who spent several years biking the lower 48 states….all 48 of them! His bicycle journey became a mission to promote suicide awareness and to talk suicide prevention to anyone that would listen. And from that a nonprofit was born called One Pedal at a Time Movement, or OPAATmovement.com which focuses on suicide prevention. Most days when he is out riding he has a huge sign on his bike that reads Make a Stranger Smile. The bicycle is where he finds his peace and in this episode you will learn how he helps others find their peace as well.

After hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail they had the itch to do something equally epic, and the plan to bike from Alaska to Argentina was born. At the time, they didn’t even own bikes. With the help of a friend they purchased bikes suitable for touring, tested those bikes with a very short 20 mile test ride, and boxed them up for the flight to Alaska. Their journey was all about biking, making connections and figuring out how little it takes to be genuinely happy.

On this episode meet Sam Westby. Recently Sam and his dad loaded up their bikes and rode across the country. Sam started bike touring with the family at the age of 9 and riding across the country with his dad was a bucket list vision for many years. This year the stars aligned with both of their schedules so they put a plan and a route together and away they went. Sam was on a bit of a time crunch so with fully loaded touring bikes, they launched from Oregon with a goal to end in New Jersey. They averaged 86 miles a day over 42 days, logging in 3,600 miles! Sam talks about the adventure, and the bond with his dad that strengthened even more while they biked their way across the US. https://www.instagram.com/samcwestby/ www.murphologypodcast.com https://linktr.ee/Murphology Email me at murphologypodcast@gmail.com if you have a topic or the name of a cyclist you find interesting.

Today you are going to hear what it was like to live through a Derecho, and what it has to do with bikes and trees. A derecho is kind of like a hurricane that occurs on land, and lasts much longer than a normal thunderstorm. It was August of 2020 when I learned what a derecho was, because it came through and destroyed my community. Seeing over half of our tree canopy lost on that day was a terrible loss. How can you replace so many trees? And who can? A fellow cyclist who is also an arborist introduced me to The TREE Fund, and a cool bike connection. Tour des Trees offers both an in-person event as well as virtual, which is what I am doing. The virtual Tour des Trees Challenge is simple: Register for the Challenge, ride 350 miles, and raise $350 on a fundraising page. Miles are tracked via the Strava app. Registration for this virtual ride is free and there are no penalties for not reaching your riding or fundraising goals. I just launched my page: https://tour-des-trees-2023.blackbaud-sites.com/fundraising/murphs-fundraising-page Check it out and if you don’t want to do your own challenge, consider supporting the TREE Fund via my fundraising page. They are working towards a goal of $300,000 and I can only imagine what that money can do for the future of trees.

Amy Boelter is on this week’s episode to tell us her journey to reclaim her health via the bicycle. Several years back Amy experienced a tough journey to have a baby. Once her daughter was born, she fought some unexplained health issues that doctors couldn’t give her answers for a quick fix. Add to this the pandemic and some mental health issues along with postpartum depression, Amy didn’t like the way things were going. So she decided to reclaim her life and take control of her own health. It started with the purchase of a Peloton and 5 minute bike rides soon turned into longer and longer rides. She also made the decision to become sober and cycling really supported this. Today Amy is working out daily, has event goals on the horizon and seeing how far she has come keeps her moving forward!

Are you ready for a murder mystery that involves bicycles? This week I partnered with my co-host, Andrea Parrott, over at the Just Go Bike Podcast to take you back to 1919, where we discuss a famous unsolved mystery. The Green Bicycle Case was a British murder investigation and subsequent trial pertaining to the fatal shooting of Bella Wright near the village of Little Stretton, Leicestershire on July 5, 1919. Wright was killed by a single bullet wound to the face. The case takes its name from the fact that on the evening of her death, Wright had been seen cycling in the company of a man, Ronald Light, who was riding a green bicycle. Listen in and decide for yourself if suspect Ronald Light is guilty, or innocent! www.murphologypodcast.com https://linktr.ee/Murphology www.Patreon.com/Murphology A few great deals to send your way: www.hammerhead.io Use code Murphology to get a free heart rate monitor with your Karoo 2. www.lilytrotters.com Use code MURPHOLOGY to get 20% off your purchase of thee best compression socks! www.primalwear.com Use code PRIMALMURPH for 20% off your Primal cycling gear.

On this episode meet Erin Trautmann. This summer, Erin, a teacher, biked the entire East Coast Greenway in just 47 days! The East Coast Greenway connects 15 states, 450 cities and towns, and has over 3,000 miles of people-powered trails plus low traffic roads. The East Coast Greenway spans from the Canadian border of Maine all the way to Key West, Florida — and it is considered the country’s longest biking and walking route. Erin is going to tell us about her experience as a solo traveler riding the East Coast Greenway. The nonprofit called 'East Coast Greenway Alliance' leads the development of the trail network and to date, about 1,000 miles of it is protected trail with the intention to increase that number.
