## Resource

In this episode: Follow Jeff and Juliet as they discuss the latest in shark deterrent technology, it’s clear they’re not just swimming in shallow waters; they’re making waves with some serious scientific discussions. After that, we’re diving right into the wild world of photography and entrepreneurship with our guest, Adam Barker, who’s here to chat about his journey from snapping epic shots of athletes to launching his own shaving brand for the leg-shaving men out there. You heard that right—he’s not just a talented photographer, but also a man on a mission to help guys embrace smooth legs while they pedal through life. Adam spills the beans on his award-winning shot from the X Games, which sounds like it was taken during a superhero landing, and we get into the nitty-gritty of his new venture, Bolt Skin and Shave. Along the way, we’ll also tackle some seriously hairy topics—pun intended—about the absurdity of shaving culture in the cycling world and how not all razors are created equal. So grab your earbuds and get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe rethink your leg-shaving game!
