#BestOf2021: Racing For a Legacy with Josef Newgarden

Today on the show we’re talking with professional racecar driver, Josef Newgarden. Josef has won the Indie series twice, he has been racing since he was a kid, and he didn’t finish high school or college! We talk about how nothing can hold you back, including being an introvert. Josef had to step out of his comfort zone, and interact with the team in order to create chemistry, to work together better on race day! Josef also lost his first sponsor he ever had, he thought that was the end of his season, but another company stepped in and believed in what Josef could do. He went on to win the championship that year. Having passion for what you do, becoming obsessed with beating the competition, not letting failures become deterrents, but using them to fuel your passion; that is what Josef brings to the table in today’s interview, and everyday he races. Pushing yourself, believing in yourself, and stepping out of your comfort zone will get you to new heights you didn’t think were possible.   Links:    Follow True Underdog on IG: www.instagram.com/true_underdog Reach out to Jayson directly at [email protected] Follow Jayson on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayson-waller-/ Follow Jayson on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jaysonwallerbam Check out our website to meet the team, view show notes and transcripts: www.trueunderdog.com Apply for a chance to receive a $10,000 business grant: https://trueunderdog.com/underdog-achievers-program/   Mentioned in the Episode:   Rick’s Book, The 21 Keys to Success: Ridin’ with Rick: https://www.amazon.com/Success-Kolie-Crutcher-Freeway-Ricky/dp/0981464343 Rick’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freewayricky/?hl=en Rick’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealFreewayRickRoss/ Freeway Enterprise Website: https://freewayenterprise.com   Timestamps:   1:03 - Josef’s Upbringing 3:52 - Excited by the Challenges 6:13 - 20% Talent, 80% Passion 9:17 - Selling Yourself 14:19 - Empowering “No” 17:45 - All About the People 21:20 - Passion Beyond Anyone Else 26:52 - Love the Challenges 29:01 - Marrying a Disney Princess 34:02 - Becoming a Father 35:21 - Jayson Meeting His Wife 39:12 - Josef’s YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
