John discovered the Blackall Racing Team's story and need for purpose-driven brands who would like to sponsor their team after reading an inspirational article in the VFW magazine. Their story, and purpose, are unlike any other in the paddock. The Blackall tandem served in the military, with Tony in the Navy and Janet in the Marines. Based on their strong military background, first-hand knowledge of the struggles in readjusting to life after the military, and Tony’s love for motorcycles, Blackall Racing was launched to promote patriotism and becoming a voice for veterans. In their discussion with John, Janet, and Tony Blackall discuss the struggles they overcame to launch a privateer racing team, the highlights from their team's first three seasons, Tony's favorite racing tracks, the origin of their motorcycle that honored the victims of 9/11, their advice for veterans who are suffering from PTSD, the types of sponsors they are looking for, and advice to any entrepreneur who is on the patch to go after their dreams. New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!
