#14 Use your Jenner’s

Burt Jenner joins Bill for an in-depth discussion of setbacks, resilience, business, and racing. The episode presents Burt as a business owner and racing professional whose life has also included homelessness and losses. His family background is part of the conversation, but the emphasis is not simply on having a famous family. Bill and Burt discuss the struggles associated with that visibility alongside the effort involved in getting back up after difficult experiences.

Life on and off the track gives the conversation two connected settings: professional racing and the circumstances beyond it. The notes place particular importance on building mental muscle, making inner strength and the response to setbacks central subjects. Burt’s movement from homelessness to business ownership and professional racing supplies the personal background for those themes. The result is a discussion that considers family, work, competition, and the ability to recover without treating an accomplished family background as the whole explanation for an individual life.
