From Checkered Past to Checkered Flags featuring the late Ben Beeler

This is a rebroadcast of Episode 5, originally published on January 28, 2014.

Welcome to Gratitude Geek, the relationship marketing podcast helping micropreneurs find your micro-influencer magic. I’m your host, Kandas Rodarte and this week we have a replay of a classic episode.

Last week, we shared my conversation with Melinda Russell, founder of the Women's Motorsports Network. Her son, the late Ben Beeler, was one of my very first podcast interviewees. In fact, it's episode 5. It's an intriguing and heart-felt discussion with awesome lessons to be gleaned about selling cars, overcoming adversity and being a decent human. So much so, that 8 years after it was recorded, I'm compelled to share it here again.

In the over 150 interviews I've done, less than a handful have moved me to tears. This is one of them.
