Mark Martin, born in Batesville, AK and a NASCAR Hall of Famer. Mark's talent and endless work ethic skyrocketed his racing career, that began in 1974, and in only seven years led to a five race NASCAR CUP Series schedule in 1981. Through that time, Mark had incredible success in ASA and at the short track level, collecting wins at some of the most prestigious races and winning championships against who he calls the "gods" of racing. We discuss the highs and lows of Mark's first journey to the CUP Series, how he reestablished himself in short track racing and an eventual return to NASCAR. Mark talks about "Never Lift", his book that he spent the past five years writing. "Never Lift" is now available for purchase.

Introducing Reed Hastings on Unlearning Leadership: From Netflix to the Mountain from Unbossing. Follow the show: Unbossing Reed Hastings built Netflix from a DVD-by-mail startup into a global entertainment empire — and then did something most founders never do: he walked away. In this first episode of Unbossing, hosts Rishad Tobaccowala and Drew Ianni sit down with Reed for a candid conversation about the leadership principles he'd keep, the ones he'd rewrite, and what he's learned building something entirely new. Reed opens up about the famous Netflix Culture Memo — what it got right, what it got wrong, and why, if he could do it again, he'd lead with the heart. Now on the board of Anthropic and developing Powder Mountain into a private ski community in Utah, Reed reflects on the shift from the digital to the very physical — and what that's taught him about culture, community, and starting over. This is a conversation about unlearning the rules that made you successful, so you can build something even better.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into going fast, faith in God, and farming. Nick VanStrydonk grew up the son of a powersports dealer. At his earliest years he could be found riding a dirtbike and racing kitty kat snowmobiles. The path of racing snowmobiles brought him through the ranks with much success along the way. Building a close-knit race team with drive and innovation led them to many wins at the Pro Champ 440 level and two World Championship titles at the Eagle River Derby track.

Being involved in any form of racing involves an immense amount of time if you want to succeed. Cardell Potter's journey into racing started at an early age on a kitty kat snowmobile. Kitty kat racing led to years of moving through the ranks of ice oval snowmobile racing. After reaching pro champ 440, the highest rank in ice oval snowmobile racing, continued work to optimize his training and race team performance led Cardell and his team to winning the most prestigious race, the Eagle River World Championship Derby and many other achievements. Even with the year round work that it takes to succeed, Cardell and his family also dove into asphalt stock car racing where they competed at the super late model level at some of the most prestigious race events and series. Racing was truly a family affair for Cardell and his family with their endeavors year round in both snowmobile and stock car racing.

Alex Gilhart grew up spectating many races with his family at a very early age. At the age of 4 he got the opportunity to wave a flag in the flag stand one night at the former State Park Speedway. You could say that moment was the start of it all for Alex. Greg McKarns gave him his first real flagging opportunity at Madison International Speedway. Once he got started it didn't take long for Alex to fill his calendar and start working with more tracks and with other series that would total up to around 60 events a year. Flagging hasn't been his only role; Alex has been performed race director duties and also served as General Manager at Angell Park Speedway. At the end of 2025, Alex was names Series Director for the ASA Midwest Tour starting in the 2026 race season. Tune into Speed and Grease on YouTube and your favorite Podcast Platforms!

Luke Parmeter, an award winning filmmaker and content strategist, grew up hill climbing dirt bikes like others in his family. Losing a national title by .05 of a second weighed on his mind even after putting the dirt bikes aside in his teenage years. Through days of skateboarding with his friends, a passion for filmmaking and content creation grew. While attending UW-Stout for Multimedia, the desire to earn a national hill climbing title returned. The willingness to out work and out train others led Luke back to the podium and the accomplishment of capturing the national title he set out for. His payment for training at The Sandbox indoor riding arena was his filmmaking and content creation. That content creation and the growth of his website, LP Motocross, led to a phone call that gave him the opportunity to work for Arenacross and Supercross. As Luke looked to lessen his travel, he launched Luke Parmeter Productions. Luke still gets to work with Supercross, but has now been able to transform his motorsports mindset into a variety of different industries and companies such as Hardscape Mentor and Golden Eagle Log and Timber Homes.

Bryan Reffner, son of racing legend Tom Reffner, was born and raised in Rudolph, Wisconsin. Growing up around racing, he was first a gear head before he ever had interest in racing himself. Originally, he only started racing because his older brother, Baird Reffner bought a hobby stock. Having fun in a hobby stock turned into wanting to race a Super Late Model after a trip to Madison International Speedway (MIS) sparked a deeper desire to continue racing and one day make it to MIS. A few years into Super Late Model racing and after winning ARTGO ROY, Bryan's career looked to be nearing an end until he won the 1984 Oktoberfest at LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. That win led to building a new Bac Kar Chassis in the offseason. The innovation of Bac Kar Chassis and the time spent working with Jim, Les, and the entire Back family played a large role in not only Bryan's Super Late Model success but carried that with him through ASA and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Beyond Super Late Models, Bryan captured the 1995 ASA Championship, 1996 Craftsman Truck Series ROY, and Truck Series Win at Texas Motor Speedway. After NASCAR, racing led him back to ASA and also a return to Super Late Model racing where he ended his storied career in another Bac Kar Chassis. Bryan and his father, Tom, built their own chassis from the ground up in 2012-2013, that his nephew Colin Reffner raced for over the next decade.
