He’s survived multiple crashes while racing that on their own could have ended his life and career. Somehow, George has bounced back from all of these and, while he suffers permanent injuries and damage to his body, is able to still do many of the things he still loves and has the best attitude. George does less racing now (though still does some!) and focuses on showcasing those still competing in the field he loves so dearly and bringing good to the world.

After a few seasons on the show, Nick pivoted to pursue his dream of becoming a public speaker. Back in January, I was lucky enough to spend a day with Nick at his home in northern Connecticut to learn what a day in the life of a youth speaker is like when not on stage changing the lives of young people. I learned so much from him - he’s been in the business for more than seven years now and has created success for himself and loves what he does. I can’t thank Nick enough for taking the time to teach me first hand and to sit down and chat about his career and his relationship to technology, social media, and distractions in the car.
