We’ve all heard the old saying, how you never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrist’s office, right? Well, if you struggle with addiction and/or your mental health, then yes, you’ve probably figured out that motorcycles can be a big help. The Remix Racing Project is a California-based nonprofit and motorcycle racing team dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and addiction recovery. Founded by Jeremy Taubman and Shanea Makinson, Jeremy competes in the MotoAmerica Super Hooligan class and hosts fan-zone activities to provide resources and get conversations started. In this guest segment this episode Teejay and Jeremy chat candidly about going racing a little later in life, how it’s helping his own recovery, and what the Remix Recovery non-profit is achieving in helping others. Jeremy has published a book “Remix Recovery—Leading a Brave Space” and you can find it on Amazon. Needless to say, if you’re struggling with life’s challenges—and believe me—we understand, then visit The Remix Racing Project, click on the resources tab, and you’ll find help that’s just a phonecall or text away.
