Startup Founder Mindset – David Perel’s Racing Rollercoaster Continues
Have you ever had your dream opportunity pulled out from under you? Do you try to do everything yourself or do you train others how to help? And if you’re moving into the next phase of your professional life, how can you leverage your existing skills to your advantage? Professional racing driver and startup founder, David Perel is back. His last interview was one of my favorites. It’s such a crazy story full of ups and downs. I highly recommend you check that one out. Well, since that last talk, things for him got even wilder. Today we’re going to hear how his dream to race at Le Mans was crushed not once but twice; the emotions he felt when that dream became a reality; and how Covid challenged him to unexpectedly build a business that ended up exploding in growth.

We’ll learn how he’s had to mature and tame some of his demons in order to grow instead of become a liability to himself.
