Think Bigger Podcast

This episode of the Think Bigger Podcast was captured during my last trip to the East Coast. Heading in to Philly and New Jersey to host an automotive event, I knew I had to link up with Jason Moseley of Unlimited Exclusive again (our first podcast together is Episode #20) and have a conversation - one that I knew would become thoughtful, inspiring, and enlightening. Jason is a soft-spoken, deep-thinking man with a crazy work ethic, and I feel blessed to be able to call him a colleague and a friend. There is so much power in this conversation, I cannot wait for you all to listen, and learn about "The List" - then make your own!

Community Conversations is a series within the Think Bigger Podcast where we sit and talk with individuals who are a part of our community and culture and learn not just about them, but learn from them.

"Where do we go from here?" 2020 has been a crazy year... In life when things happen to us it is our duty to take the experience and grow from it. But to do that we have to stop and embrace what is happening and look within ourselves and make an active decision to become a different person and choose the direction we go from that point. 2020 has been a year that has changed people and the world for the better and for the worse... and we have months left to go. From COVID and quarantine to racial tensions and police brutality to financial and economic struggles, there are so many powerful forces moving society and communities and we... the people, are dealing with it. But we can either be victims to our circumstances, or we can take control of our lives and take what's going on and ask ourselves, "Where do we go from here?" This episode is real, raw, and personal, and I bare a part of my soul as I think and struggle along with all of you. 

I genuinely look forward to you all listening and relating, and then sharing your thoughts in the comments on the IG post for this episode. Thank you, I appreciate you all.

On this episode we sit and converse with Jason Dienhart of Global Time Attack. We discuss not just the growth and future of the GTA series across the US, but also Jason's rich history in southern California car culture, learning how to wrench, drag racing, and his time working in the print media side of the industry with Super Street Magazine years ago. From event planning and coordination to racing to the climate of our country and the history of the US, this conversation was an awesome one and I'm proud to bring it here for the community.
