In this episode of Connecting the Dots, I sit down with Ken Wilden, a professional race car driver, stunt man, and Ferrari driver coach who’s built a career in environments where pressure is constant and mistakes are costly. What began behind the wheel evolved into a life shaped by risk, resilience, and mastery; from racing at elite speeds, to recovering from major crashes, to coaching drivers at the highest level. In this conversation, Ken shares what it really takes to turn performance into a profession: checking your ego at the door, staying open to feedback, and building a career one step at a time through trust and relationships. His story is a reminder that progress isn’t linear, and that the ability to bounce back, listen, and keep learning is what allows excellence to compound over time.
