About this episode

Luke Tarrant shares his life-changing motorcycle journey and recovery after a severe accident in Colombia.

Luke Tarrant left a great job in finance and walked away from the corporate world, knowing he didn't want to spend his life stuck in an office. He sold everything he owned and spent years riding his motorcycle across the world, chasing the kind of adventure few people ever experience. On a ride through Colombia, everything came to a screeching halt when he was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him fighting for his life. After weeks in a Colombian hospital, Luke ultimately had his leg amputated. Since then, he's grown a massive global social media following by sharing his journey, inspiring millions with his adventures, resilience, and outlook on life. In Chapter 413, Jase and Luke dive into the motorcycle crash that changed everything, the incredible strangers who came together to help save his life, crossing the Darien Gap by boat, ending up at a cartel party in Mexico, learning to walk and ride again with a prosthetic leg, and why he refuses to move on until he returns to Colombia to finish the ride.
