Don't usually need a trigger warning on these, but the first 10ish minutes is a conversation about how big a body of water would have to be for you to get in it if there was a dead body in it. No, we don't know why we talked about that either. After that, we talk about NASCAR changing up its controversial Playoff format, James' IMSA prep for Daytona, Josef's commercial, and more.+++Off Track is part of the SiriusXM Sports Podcast Network.

Today, at just 21 years old, he's competed across the ARCA Menards Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the Truck Series, racing for some of the sport's most respected teams.In this conversation, we dig into:Growing up just miles from the Farm4Profit studio and racing across IowaHow his dad and Iowa racing connections launched his motorsports careerWinning races before he was old enough to legally driveThe discipline required to balance school, training, and full-time racingHandling pressure, failure, and expectations at a young ageLessons racing teaches that apply directly to farming and businessEndurance, mindset, and why he ran a marathon in 2025Giving back through scholarships and community involvementWhat's next in his racing careerWhile Sammy's world looks different than farming, the themes are the same: discipline, consistency, risk management, preparation, and performance under pressure. This episode bridges agriculture and motorsports through mindset—and shows why success at the highest levels always comes back to fundamentals. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

What if your money stopped dictating your schedule and started supporting the life you actually want to live? Joe Saul-Sehy welcomes CFP Dana Anspach of Sensible Money as special guest co-host for an episode featuring this week's mentor, Andy Hill. Andy shares how he stepped away from the corporate grind, redesigned his priorities, and built a life where family and flexibility came first. His story isn't about escaping work. It's about building a financial foundation that gives you options. Then the conversation shifts to a headline that caught everyone's attention: NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and his wife Samantha are suing their insurance company, calling the life insurance they purchased "a scam." Dana uses this case to break down one of the most misunderstood areas in personal finance: life insurance. From Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies to knowing when insurance is a tool and when it's a distraction, she shows how clarity of goals should drive every decision and how to avoid the traps that caught even high earners like the Buschs. The episode also touches on estate planning, scams to watch out for, how young adults should think about budgeting and debt, and how to evaluate whether paying off loans or investing is the better move for your situation. It connects the dots between time freedom, smart planning, and protecting what you're building. What You'll Learn: • How to design your finances around the life you want, not just the paycheck you earn • What "owning your time" really means and how to start moving in that direction • Why your financial plan should begin with values and priorities, not products • How to think about entrepreneurship without blowing up your financial stability • What the Kyle Busch insurance lawsuit reveals about life insurance products and sales tactics • The truth about Indexed Universal Life insurance and when it may or may not make sense • How to evaluate life insurance based on goals instead of sales pitches • How estate planning protects your family and your legacy • The pros and cons of paying off loans versus investing • Budgeting principles that help young adults build strong money habits early • How to recognize and avoid financial scams (including insurance product traps) • Why celebrating progress matters just as much as setting the next goal This Episode Is For You If: • You feel like your money controls your life instead of supporting it • You want more flexibility and time freedom but don't know how to fund it • You're confused about whether life insurance products are helping or just costing you (especially after hearing about the Busch lawsuit) • You're trying to figure out the right order of financial moves (debt vs investing, insurance vs saving) • You want your financial plan to reflect your actual values, not just what you're "supposed" to do This episode is about aligning your money with your life. If you're ready to stop reacting to your finances and start using them to build more freedom, flexibility, and confidence, this one belongs at the top of your queue.

Coming home was supposed to be the safe part. For the 1st Battalion 17th Infantry, it did not work out that way. They lost 22 soldiers during their 2009 to 2010 Afghanistan deployment, then as many more after returning home. At one funeral, a soldier finally said what many were thinking: "When is someone going to do something about this?" That question pushed former platoon leader Adam Swift to start searching for an answer in the middle of the night, which led him to The Independence Fund and its unit retreat program, Operation Resilience. Scott sits down with Adam and Independence Fund Deputy Chief of Operations Steven Rozina to hear how Operation Resilience brings entire units back together for a long weekend. Flights are covered, the veteran pays nothing, and the schedule blends fun sober events like NASCAR and hockey with long, guided clinical sessions. Units literally map out their deployment, from pre-mob through the worst days downrange and into life back home, finally talking through firefights, IED blasts, and moral injuries they have carried alone for years. Adam shares what it was like to watch brothers he had not seen in 15 years walk out of the hotel elevators, and how The Independence Fund quietly recreated the teepee memorial from their FOB so the unit could honor their fallen around a final-night bonfire. You will also hear exactly how to get your own unit considered for Operation Resilience and why you do not need to be in command to step up and start the process. Timestamps: 00:03:30: The suicide funeral that sparked Operation Resilience and a hard decision to say no more 00:09:30: Adam realizes being home feels more dangerous than Afghanistan after losing 22 more brothers 00:15:15: Inside the marathon clinical session, where the unit spends eight hours walking through their deployment 00:17:45: Elevators open, brothers step out, and a battalion reconnects after 15 years apart 00:49:15: Scott's challenge to listeners to be the one who steps up and brings their unit to Operation Resilience Links & Resources Veteran Suicide & Crisis Line: Dial 988, then press 1 The Independence Fund Website: https://independencefund.org/ Operation Resilience: https://independencefund.org/pages/operation-resiliency Follow The Independence Fund on X: https://twitter.com/indyfund Follow The Independence Fund on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheIndependenceFund/ Follow The Independence Fund on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/independencefund/ Follow The Independence Fund on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-independence-fund/ Follow The Independence Fund on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUrXtHO1C7HiGNSoOfWlqwg Follow Adam Swift on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-swift-281a688b/ Follow Adam Swift on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adam.swift.940 17th Infantry Association: https://www.17thinfantry.org/ Transcript View the transcript for this episode.
