185 – Johannes van Overbeek: the Lessons We Learn From Racing

On this week’s episode of Speed Secrets Podcast, Johannes van Overbeek joins me to talk about the lessons we learn from racing that apply to other areas of our lives – things like “lazy decision,” having too much money (yes, it’s possible!), the pros and cons of technology, and how to manage one’s passion and enthusiasm for something. Oh, and we talk about our co-experience with the Garmin Catalyst. Johannes’s Speed Secret: Make sure your equipment is the best it can be. Look ahead. Know when and where to release the brakes.
