For some people, their job is just that. But for Ford CEO Jim Farley, his job is his whole world. A car guy through-and-through, he spends as much time on cars personally as he does professionally; whether leading Ford as an American institution, bonding with his son, and even as a race-car driver. It's no wonder that he hosts his own car-themed podcast DRIVE with Jim Farley.

However, Farley won't let passion cloud his judgement: "Even though I love cars and I love racing, I'm a business person." Farley joined Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi on Opening Bid from Ford's Detroit revitalization project, Michigan Central.
