How much can you learn from teaching someone? If you put everything on the line and nearly lost it, would you try again the next day?
Ross Bentley is a pioneering driver coach, a teacher, a storyteller, and a bestselling author who nearly burned alive while trying to qualify for the Indy 500. He makes his living by studying the human condition under pressure.
Bentley's Speed Secrets books, first published in the 1990s, reimagined the mental side of motorsport. As a younger man, he was a BMW factory driver in E36 M3s, he drove Ferrari prototypes, he won the 24 Hours of Daytona. We talked about self-improvement, learning, good and bad days at 200 mph, and why, above all, you never stop trying to get better.
Driven to Fail is a podcast about what happens when things go wrong. What we do when life falls apart, and what we learn when we try to put it back together.
