This podcast takes a long form deep dive into our guests as we learn about their experiences, views and everything that we find interesting. PODcakes is a play on words that comes from my YouTube channel, Motorcycles and Pancakes. Originally, this was a podcast to talk all things motorcycles related. But, very quickly after I started this, I knew I wanted to expand to more than motorcycles. Show Guide Inside the Helmet are shows about all things moto related and those who ride. Outside the Helmet is a guest unrelated to the moto world. The Current View is based on current world events.

Episode 10 - Part 2 | Outside the Helmet with Billy Zureikat

In the conclusion of Part 1, we delve into the formative years of Billy's life, tracing his journey from growing up in the Chicago area to developing a passion for basketball. His dedication to innovation and strong work ethic propelled him through a college career in journalism. This path led him to the pressbox, covering professional sports teams like the Bears and the Bulls, and hosting a college radio show named Practice Squad. Following a successful six-year stint at ESPN, Billy's enduring love for basketball persisted as he moved on to new endeavors. However, a shadow was cast over his life as he began experiencing alarming health issues related to his legs. The narrative left us on a suspenseful note, revealing a shocking twist: Billy had been diagnosed with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy known as Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. In Part 2, we accompany Billy on a distinctive journey where he discovers a creative method to not only raise awareness but also generate a substantial amount of funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. His innovative approach transforms him into a local celebrity within the Chicago area. Join me as we bring this tale of hope, inspiration, and unwavering determination to its conclusion - the remarkable story of Billy Zureikat. _______________________________________________________ Billy Socials: www.trippingbillyz.com Instagram: therealbillyz YouTube: @therealbillyz TikTok: therealbillyz_ ________________________________________________________ To donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association with Billy's Donor Drive. https://mda.donordrive.com/index.cfm fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=1391 _______________________________________________________ If you enjoyed this episode of PODcakes, please consider becoming a Patreon member today.
