018 Pedals & Presence: How Brian Golding Mentors Grandkids Through Mountain Biking & Listening

What if the best mentorship doesn’t happen in classrooms or at podiums — but on bike trails, over milkshakes, and in car rides home?

In this heartfelt episode of The Grandpa Channel, Steve Harris welcomes his cousin Brian Golding for a conversation that brings mentorship and coaching to life through family connection.

Brian shares how mountain biking with his granddaughter turned into an unexpected classroom — where lessons about effort, attitude, and presence carried far beyond the trail. Along the way, he reflects on raising his own kids, the gift of unconditional love from grandparents, and why listening and understanding matter more than getting it perfect.

From laughter-filled stories to hard-won wisdom, this conversation is a reminder that presence over perfection is the greatest gift we can pass on to the next generation.
