Building a Career in Racing w/ Jesse Iwuji

<p>How do you build a career following your passion? We sit down with Lieutenant Commander Jesse Iwuji to talk about his career in NASCAR. You heard that right, he's in the Navy and races for NASCAR. We also talk about playing football for the US Naval Academy, building relationships in the racing world, and being the son of Nigerian immigrants. We recorded our conversation the night before a big race.</p><p>--</p><p>In all things Jesse Iwuji does, there are two constant elements: his love of country and his fighting spirit. This talented driver went from a D1A college football player to a lieutenant in the United States Navy and is now the only current driver in all of NASCAR at the national levels that has ever been in the military. It has been key for Iwuji, who is currently serving in the Navy Reserves, to honor his country while pursuing and attaining excellence. It should come as no surprise that he has championed companies and charities that give back to our men and women in uniform.</p><p>Jesse is also a big supporter of NASCAR diversity. He was recently honored by NASCAR for the second year in a row – the Diverse Driver of the Year Award. He is a champion both on and off the track! NASCAR has never seen a driver like Jesse Iwuji before. While streaking toward the top tiers of NASCAR, the unstoppable Jesse Iwuji is taking us all along for one wild and exciting ride.</p><p>Visit Jesse at <a href="https://www.jesseiwuji.com/" target="_blank">jesseiwuji.com</a></p><p>--</p><p>*Show is now called Positivity and Success</p><p>Support the show on Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/norlund" target="_blank"><strong>@norlund</strong></a></p><p>Thank you so much!</p><p>Check out more details about the show at <a href="https://www.chrisnorlund.com/podcast" target="_blank">chrisnorlund.com/podcast</a></p><p>Follow on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/chris_norlund" target="_blank"><strong>@chris_norlund</strong></a></p><p>Follow on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/norlund/" target="_blank"><stron
