After a summer full of adventures, host Zak Winnick returns to the Rivian Clubs of America Podcast with a quick “proof of life” update—because yes, the podcast is still very much alive.

In this short but packed episode, Zak shares:
• A sneak peek at two upcoming episodes—one featuring a CEO in the Rivian-adjacent travel space, and another bringing together RCA chapter leaders for a nationwide roundtable.
• Exciting chapter news, including the launch of the Wisconsin Rivian Club and its new chapter lead, Darren.
• Details on the brand-new Adventure Seeker Membership for Apple Podcasts listeners, offering bonus episodes, behind-the-scenes audio, and exclusive outtakes—plus a one-month free trial.

Zak also introduces the podcast’s refreshed website, now a one-stop hub for guest bios, episode archives, and links to all listening platforms.

Whether you’re catching up on past episodes or waiting for the next big interview, this update proves the RCA Podcast isn’t going anywhere—and the best is yet to come.
