#007- Money, Sponsorships, Grit, Relationship Building, And Pursuing Your Passion W/ BMW Racing Champion, Connor De Phillippi
A pedal to the metal, lifetime pursuit of passion and purpose brought this young man to the top of an extremely competitive sport.
In our 1st money chat, we talk with Connor De Phillippi, a 27 year old professional race car driver for BMW Motorsports. Connor has won multiple championships in different disciples here in North America, he then spent five years in Europe and he became only the second ever American driver to receive a contract in the Porsche Junior Program, the second American to ever win the 24 Hours Nurburgring, and the only American to ever win the GT Masters Championship. Currently he competes in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship for BMW Motorsport Team RLL driving their BMW M8 GTE car.
We discuss Connor’s Money and overall Career journey, touching on the important and challenging moments that defined him as a professional in his racing industry. Some important topics Connor brings up are:
- Foundation - The starting point… which includes the people surrounding you.
- Luck - You must create your own luck with hard work.
- Opportunity - It may appear to be luck, in reality he was ready for opportunity.
- Sponsorships - Raising around a million dollars... what worked and what didn’t.
- ROI - Understanding return on investment is crucial for clients and sponsors.
- Focus - You don’t need to be good at everything, just develop your passion.
- Earn it - Lifetime of racing was like having 20 years of college before 1st paycheck.
- Frugality - Budgeting and being mindful of your money instead of being a spender.
- Humility - Fold shirts, serve food, don’t be afraid to be at the bottom in order to meet the right people and grow to the top.
Listen to learn how Connor achieved his dreams of being a professional race car driver, found funding and sponsorships, learned how to not undervalue himself, and gave 100% into pursuing his passion.
