THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! 🎙️

Most people wait until they have the perfect setup, gear, and materials. Diego didn't and that is what made him stand out on the FYP.

He grabbed a $250 Walmart bike, pressed record at 11:30pm, and started posting. No fancy gear. No training plan. No clue if anyone would watch.

Spoiler Alert: Over 100k views on his first video. 💪

This week on Podcast 23, Diego (aka BigManBikes) gets real about why most people never start, what it actually feels like to push through discomfort, and the mindset shift that turned a random hobby into something thousands of people tune in for.

It's never too late to pick up the camera and record your passion. There is an audience for everything, you just have to start.

🚴‍♂️ Let's ride....

With a finance degree, a dream, and the audacity to bet on himself, led Jared Jenkins to world tours, global stages, and a career every dancer dreams of.

In this episode we are sitting down and getting into all of it. The real stuff. What your mindset actually has to look like if you want to survive in the dance industry. How to navigate the business side without losing yourself. The way fashion and dance connect more than people realize. And the moments, people, and lessons that shaped him into who he is today.
