Jesse Iwuji is a first-generation Nigerian-American, U.S. Navy reserve officer, college football star, and if that's not enough: an accomplished and beloved professional NASCAR driver. So, how did he become a racing star? He just … wanted it. And one day, he decided to go for it. Along the way, many people told him he'd never succeed. He didn't have the money. He didn't have the connections. No sponsorships. People even said that "African Americans don't race cars." Jesse's entrepreneurial savvy allowed him to self-fund his own outside-the-box training and compete with far more established racers. Today, he's on TV in the professional circuit, despite all the naysayers. How he got there is incredibly inspiring.

What matters more? Where we start? Where we finish? Or how fast we drive the course we set for ourselves? NASCAR Driver, US Navy Officer and entrepreneur Jesse Iwuji joins Fran Racioppi to show how hard work and focus will close any gap on the open track of life. Fran and Jesse cover growing up un-athletic in Texas the son of Nigerian immigrants, earning a spot on the US Naval Academy Football Team, deploying multiple times on ships, pursuing his dream to race cars, and his recent partnership with NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith to launch his own NASCAR team; Jesse Iwuji Motorsports.Read the full episode transcription here and learn more on The Jedburgh Podcast Website.

Bryan Nolen talks with Jesse Iwuji about the biggest difference between being an owner and a driver, how he deals with online criticisms, what his expectations are each week coming to the track and more.

Today I'm talking with Jesse Iwuji, the first and only active US Naval Officer to compete in NASCAR and the co-owner of NASCAR team Jesse Iwuji Motorsports, which he co-owns with HOF Former-NFL player Emmitt Smith. He's also a Keynote Speaker/Motivational Speaker and a NASCAR Driver Analyst for NBC Sports. After realizing his love for sports, particularly football, Jesse started setting goals for himself to be on the A team, get recruited, and play college football. Since he didn't get to play Pee Wee and Pop Warner football, he had to put in extra effort to grow his talent, skills, strength, and ability. All his hard work paid off when he got recruited by the United States Naval Academy to play college football during his senior year. Jesse saw this as an opportunity to attend a great school, pursue his love for football, and have a career waiting for him as an officer in the US Navy when he graduates. He spent four years playing for the Naval Academy, went to four different bowl games, and had winning seasons all four years. He later became a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO), which developed his passion for cars and racing. His life changed when he finally decided to become a professional race car driver. Jesse explored every possibility, took the entrepreneur route, and started his own business on the sideline while still serving active duty. In this episode, you will learn about football, professional car racing, the importance of having a vision, what kept Jesse going in pursuing his dream, and some helpful tips on how to start living your dreams. Here are just some of the things we get into: What made Jesse loves sports and football. How Jesse realized his passion for car racing. What he did to fund his journey of learning car racing. How he worked his way up from Late Models to NASCAR K&N Pro Series. How his partnership with Emmitt Smith started.

A weekend in New England left Brett Griffin, Freddie Kraft and TJ Majors with lots of stories to tell. After two eventful races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and a busy week of silly season news, the crew reacts to everything that went down. First, find out how Brett learned some Boston slang and why payment was required to spot the modifieds. Then the guys dive into Spot On, Spot Off. First, they discuss Martin Truex Jr.'s decision to take two tires during the last pit stop which cost him the win and placed the No. 19 team on the playoff cutoff line. Now given Christopher Bell as the 14th different winner this season, they talk about how many drivers they expect to see win before the playoffs begin. Brad Keselowski and Austin Dillon swerved at each other and made contact under caution on Sunday. T.J. talks about what led Keselowski to retaliate against Dillon and what each of them said in their post-race interviews. Tyler Reddick announced he signed with 23XI Racing for the 2024 season last week. The spotters applaud Reddick for his move but share their displeasure about Richard Childress Racing's actions. While the timing of the announcement seemed strange, find out why 23XI needed to share the news first. Afterwards, they talk about who could race in the No. 8 car next. Ty Dillon will not return to Petty-GMS Racing after this season and the crew doesn't find this surprising. Hear about who is the leading candidate to drive the 42 car next year and why they would be the most interesting Cup driver in the field. Next, NASCAR did not penalize Christopher Bell's team for losing a wheel coming off pit road last week at Atlanta. The guys express their frustration towards NASCAR making a judgment call and why the penalty needs to have stricter guidelines for what is and isn't a penalty. Finally, producer Jason Schultz reads Joey Logano's comments on Next Gen crashes. The spotters talk about NASCAR's confusion between what the drivers say about hits and what their data shows compared to the previous car. In Reaction Theatre, find out why Jesse Iwuji may now see the light, the guys learn about Austin Dillon's TV show, and Jeb is back with a song. #AskDBC returns in the Offerpad question of the week segment and in What an Idiot, learn about the embarrassing incident at Bowman Gray.

Majors and Freddie Kraft first discuss how they celebrated America's birthday this past Monday and offer DBC host Casey Boat an opportunity to try her hand at spotting. To begin Spot On, Spot Off, the spotters talk about Tyler Reddick outdueling Chase Elliott to earn his first Cup Series win.

Sunday's Cup race did not have a naturally-occurring caution and was one minute shorter than the Xfinity Series race. The guys talk about the drivers' road course skills and how cautions for stage breaks are hurting the on-track product. Could stage breaks one day be eliminated on road courses? The crew debates. Contact between Noah Gragson and Sage Karam during the Xfinity Series race caused a multi-car pileup. The gang breaks the drivers' comments after the race and if NASCAR should have penalized Gragson for the incident. Ty Gibbs passed Kyle Larson on the final lap to earn his fourth win of the year. The guys give credit to Gibbs for showing maturity racing against the reigning Cup Series champion and not needing to pull a bump-and-run move on him. No driver in the Cup Series has three wins after the first 18 races for the first time in history. Hear the crew's thoughts on how many more different winners they think will surface before the playoffs and if any drivers will be able to point their way in. Finally, the guys weigh in on Formula One driver George Russell's comment about fans not having the right to boo drivers. The guys discuss why Russell needs to have thicker skin and fans might not be booing because they don't like him as a driver.

Purpose does not come in shades, sizes, or looks. It is a human-centric construct that deep within every Human conscious, there is this longing to live, become and fill the space called earth.Purpose is often defined by our passion, that burning desire to let out the steam of creativity expressed on different stages.It could be seen in the arts or sciences. Still, all of this is a function of our personality, and being able to understand this and apply ourselves accordingly reveals the fulfillment and satisfaction we see and feel.The love and affinity one shows towards an activity, event and happenings can reveal one's heart and inclination to that particular aspect of life and living. So we can safely use this human behavior to help and channel the energy of those around us in discovering who they are and fulfilling their purpose here.How would you describe one who has a great love for speed and is always yearning to be part of speed and its related activity?In this show episode, I have the opportunity to talk with Jesse Iwuji about his love for speed and how embracing this passion has created a future for him now.Jesse Iwuji is a NASCAR driver & Team Owner, US Naval Officer, Keynote Speaker, TV Personality, Actor, and an eSports Company Owner.His story points to the power of dreaming within the boundaries of determination, courage, sacrifice, and grit.Support the show

But he knew he couldn't do it professionally anymore after graduating college. ● He naturally gravitated toward racing because of his love for cars and the sport. ● He started joining amateur races, competing on open track days using his personal cars. Eventually, his goal turned to become a professional racecar driver. ● Jesse immediately started researching. He found that there was a racial stereotype against being black when it comes to racing. You also needed to have connections. ● However, he already had a clear vision in mind. No racial stereotype or barrier was going to stop him. [5:35] Working His Way to the Top● Jesse started at the lowest level possible in NASCAR in 2015, racing with late-model stock cars. ● Every year, he continues to work his way up. ● Now, Jesse is racing at the national level. He's only about a step or two below Bubba Wallace, who is on the highest level. ● Tune in to the full episode to hear about Jesse's next big goal!

However, it takes a lot of resources, energy, effort, and networking outside of skill. ● Unlike other sports, there is a branding and networking side in making it to NASCAR; being a good driver doesn't guarantee success. [9:22] Feeling Pressure● Jesse doesn't feel pressure about being one of the two African-Americans in NASCAR. ● Since he started late, he knows he has more to learn and experience. ● Right now, he races part-time between seasons. Once he gets all the resources in place, that's when he can run full seasons and start getting better. ● Everything is part of the process. It takes time, so you have to stay patient, keep grinding, keep your head down, and keep moving. [11:57] Dealing with Racial Stereotypes in NASCAR● It always comes as a surprise to people when Jesse tells them he's racing in NASCAR. ● They...
