S15 Ep 246Ep. 246 - Human Element Series - The Way of The Hero with Layne Gneiting
Today we are joined by Layne Gneiting. Layne is just your average guy. His family's a tad bigger than most (he's got 8 kids), but he lives in a snug 1,800 square foot home in the heart of suburbia, and still wakes up in a panic most Friday mornings when the garbage truck rumbles down the street. However, Layne has a secret identity. Twice a year he straps on his super suit—a bicycle jersey—and sweeps executives and doctors into the biggest adventure of their lives. It came from his biggest kick in the butt: cycling across America. Now Layne's guided teams (or gone alone) by bike through 49 countries, and this year he'll finally publish his stories about them.
