  • Life with Legends Episode 025: C. J. Wilson
    May 2 2023

    C. J. Wilson

    Motorsports is a compelling and aspirational way of life, and sometimes we forget that, until someone from the top of their (other) game come in to our world, and bring with them a set of principles and focus that energizes even the most jaded 
    of us.

    Such is the case with Major Baseball League Pitcher, C. J. Wilson, who I got to sit down with at his stunning car dealership in Fresno, CA.

    From the moment I met C.J. I was struck by his intensity and commitment, not just to becoming faster in the race car, but also by creating his own racing team to further his aspirations.

    I was in the pitlane for Fox Sports for most of his racing career, and he was always a cool interview, especially fro a British guy that wouldn’t know how to throw a baseball if my life depended on it!

    I have wanted to have this conversation for so long, as I was fascinated about his approach to life and to be honest, I had to find out if he was born or made this way.

    As I think you will discover during this podcast, there was never a doubt he would become successful in life. From pitching for the Los Angeles Angels to the high banks of Daytona, he also, apparently, never had doubts either, which is pretty extraordinary. And now, his intellect and skill set is focussed on his thriving car dealerships, but I was pleased to hear that racing is never far from his mind. 

    So for a man so successful so young, the story has many chapters to go!

  • Life with Legends Episode 024: The Road Racers Drivers Club Busby Special
    Apr 18 2023

    So, this week a short but kind of cool little show, as I headed down last week to Jim Busby’s place (yes you heard him in Episode 22) as while the racing circus was in town for the Long Beach GP, he held a little open house for some of his racing pals from the RRDC (Road racing Drivers Club).

    I grabbed a quick chat with, and this is in order of appearance:

    Alwin Springer  - legendary Porsche Engine builder known as Andial

    My father Derek Bell and Mark Rafauf, who has been involved with the IMSA series on the technical side since time began and still wields huge influence to this day!

    Jim Busby himself and Bruce Meyer join to wrap things up.

     It is just a fun show and I hope you have fun listening to these amazing guys!

  • Life with Legends Episode 023: Bruce Meyer
    Apr 11 2023

    Bruce Meyer

    I have been fortunate to meet so many extraordinary people over the years, but there are some that really do inspire you, and  Bruce Meyer is one of those true gentlemen that I am just blessed to call a friend.

    Often called the ‘unofficial Mayor of Beverly Hills’, Bruce just seems to know everyone and they in turn adore him back. People gravitate to his engaging demeanor, and I think its not just me that wishes they could come back as him in the next life!

    His extraordinary car collection is secretly located just feet above the visiting tourists, and yet to any of us in his car world, it is a place for us to meet and enjoy some of the most beautiful cars ever built.

     But I am always intrigued on how do people achieve this level of success, what was their motivation, how did they pull it off?

    I knew little of his journey and so sitting down in his garage was a real treat, and learning the whole story makes him even more impressive.

    A true car guy and the perfect role model.

    I hope you enjoy it.
