Today I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Tony Kanaan, a world-renowned IndyCar driver, to discuss his remarkable journey from a passionate kid racing go-karts in Brazil to winning the prestigious Indy 500. 

This episode was shot live at Tony's sim garage. We talk about the trials, tribulations, and ultimate triumphs that have defined Tony’s career, including fulfilling a lifelong promise to his father. 

Tony also shares his deep connection to Indiana and how he has embraced being part of the community. This episode is packed with inspiring stories and insights into the perseverance needed to achieve greatness.
