"I left home at 18, so pretty much straight out of high school, and Im like, I'm doing this. I'm going All In on racing, and I'm going to make this happen.”

In todays deep dive I get to sit-down and talk with legendary motorsports athlete Colton Haaker about his journey to success. Colton shares how it was his passion that led him along the way, through all the hard times and growth that came with it, though with his persistence and “All In” mentality he was able to not only keep at at, but eventually become one of the winningest athletes in his field. Colton also shares his thoughts on brand building as an athlete and how everyone has their own role to play in the world of sponsorship. We also go deep into finding and following your passion, and using this passion to deal with the stresses and depression of life. Finally we also discuss becoming a parent, and the transformation it took on his athletic career and thinking beyond as Colton now works to build up his real estate portfolio and build financial freedom to allow him to ride bikes indefinitely. This conversation was chocked full of valuable lessons for any young athlete, or individual how is chasing their dream.
