Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Sabine Schmitz   Q1 — How was childhood like growing up? When the weather is good, Sabine Schmitz raced alongside her sisters leveraging on some nice collection of cars like 918 Porshe. They had a healthy rivalry as the practices some times without Sabine's knowledge so has to beat me on certain days.   Q2 — From my conversations with other racing drivers, the career path of the male racing driver is slightly different from that of the female. Do you think that’s still a thing in the industry today? When Sabine Schmitz started motor racing, this was tough. At the moment, there is a big change as they have many good female drivers. We have a ladies team, we have lady mechanics and things are going well. This is a stark contrast to the time when Women (in South Africa) are not allowed to even vote. Q3 — So how did you make yourself known in the industry and get the opportunities that you did? When Sabine Schmitz started racing, it was not so popular for women to go racing. But she did not stop, she carried on. Sabine won the championship very fast. You have to be successful straight away, otherwise, it is too late.   Q4 — With everyone vying for the first position, what separated you from everyone else in winning the championship? Focus, fitness, the thirst to go forward and the pressure. Yes, old good pressure. When Sabine Schmitz was in the BMW team, she was the worst driver. So they have to do a lot of sports with the guys with JG late too and all the rival professional drivers. The path of a champion is tough.   Q5 — What would you change about the motor industry? I am not a fan of electric cars, it is not even green. Power comes out of the power station to power it. I believe there will be much better alternatives.   Q6 — let's be a little futuristic, would you have the cars fly soon?  I would like to turn the clock a little bit backward when racing was manual. No ATM, No power steering. I am a fan of the V8 and Pur thriving. Then, racing was pure driving. The Porsche and GT three are quite easy to drive just like a computer game. I will love to see how a driver will react to unexpected situations.   Q7 — What was it about hockey that made you want to join the show some years ago? I was part of the team since 2000 more or less with live shows and DVD with Jeremy and Top Gear. The opportunity came knocking and I said yes.   Q8 — Compared to racing, do you enjoy being on reality TV? I think it's a combination because I love racing. And that's what I can do in the show. So it's a perfect combination. Because I want to try every car to the limit, and that is allowed.  But racing is racing. Racing is more intense.   Q9 — In general, what do you think people don’t know of being part of a racing team? During the show, we do some of the battles completely to know who was better. For the show, we start with the following cars, cameras and so on. In some battles, we have only a chance to film. For some other battles, we film 4 or 5 times. But in all, it has to be as you see it on TV. It has to be true. We do some fun stuff too.  They don’t script me, they script the others.   Q10 — One of the things that you've managed to do throughout your life is not only winning races but just live a life that involves so many things that you are passionate about. What can you say to other people that would allow them to experience their version of their enjoyed, or an amazing life that is fulfilling? When you have a dream, you have to trust yourself. And then you must follow your dreams. If you stay at home on the couch is nothing will happen. Nobody will help you. You have to help yourself.

Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Ben Hurst Q1 — How did it all begin in Oakville, all the way to Canada, and now you're the British GT? The dad of Ben Hurst stirred up the whole process when he took him to Bridgestone racing Academy to try out for a racing license. Ben Hurst got started in Formula Ford, here in Canada. He met one of the teams when he was at racing school there to get his racing license because Ben was just interested in trying. They eventually then won the championship after 3 years of persistence. The team he was with In the UK got partnered with an F3 team during the Formula Ford festival of friends. So that's kind of how Ben got introduced to everyone quickly in the UK. And that's kind of how all his opportunities came out. So it's kind of in one meeting after the next.   Q2 — You started off racing at age 16, did that affect how you saw the races approach the races? Yes, especially in F3 you have to be willing to either go into that corner and either crashed your car into someone else or if they back off. But Ben Hurst is not wired to go into a corner and just either Yes, he is going to make it or he is going to be out of the race. Ben always want to finish races, no matter what.   Q3 — So have you considered endurance racing something like Lemans? After watching it this year with Aston, Ben Hurst knew in my heart that there’s where he wants to be. Ben loves the level of preparation the teams go through. It's like an F1 car, but it's a GT car that goes for 24 hours.   Q4 — Between F3 and GT, what kind of differences are they in terms of pressure and atmosphere? I think there's more pressure because it's not only my race weekend, it's my teammates. Having a teammate does change the mentality a lot because you have to bring the car home for them because it's their race weekend as well. It’s always rewarding to get the results on track in the morning after your teammates may have put in the late night to get the car ready morning.   Q5 — How is your relationship with your partner and what is your advice on how to create a bond with your partner? For my partner, despite our different backgrounds, we have formed an efficient partnership. He is naturally quick but does not have racing experience. He helps me with qualifying for my outright pace and I handle the race starts. To build a great relationship with your teammates, I’d advise you to spend time together, train together, learn how each they work.   Q6 — Do you feel that racing is something you will want to continue for the rest of your life? Well, I've just graduated. And I took a degree that would help me with my racing career (Sports management) So I spent some time with the Renault F1 team, as a work placement in their sponsorship department learning how to how they get sponsors, I think that helped me.   Q7 — Can you share tips on how to get sponsorships? Its hard work, get a lot of verified contacts (email/phone lines especially) who are interested in what you do. Find the market you are in, look for companies that are interested in what you do. A blue ocean strategy will pay off big time. On what companies expect in return: Some opt for increased sales of their cars or other organizing coaching events. Expectations vary from one company to another. Be it Aston Martin, Renato or Renault.     Q8 — How did the university degree help you expand your knowledge about sponsorships?  I did my dissertation on how sponsorship works in Formula One. I also leveraged on the experience of the Head of my management team with 20 years of experience. He moved from the mechanic side to the commercial side of racing. Side by side, these two events expanded my knowledge on how sponsorships work. I’d say that Formula 1 sponsorship is about Business to Business partnership and getting introductions.   Q9 — Would you like to go into Formula One at some point? Or is it La mans and hundred percent endurance racing? I am 100% going to GT and endurance racing. I want to build my career with support from either dealerships or manufacturers at this level and work my way up to a factory role with one of the manufacturers. Rather than trying to find the funding for F3 for another year, FIA F3, for another year and then F2.     Q10 — So how do you manage to deal with that pressure of actually going into the car and feeling like everyone's ready and waiting for you to now deliver? If you're prepared, then you have nothing. That’s exactly my mindset. I think that the biggest thing I've learned is preparation. If I do my training, right, if I eat right, by the time I get to the race, I'm fully prepared and there should be nothing I'm got to think about other than going forward in the race that we're at.   Q11 — What do you feel is the biggest difference between watching and driving? So I think sometimes it looks a bit more intense on TV than it is in the car. Because you're calm in the car, you're just focusing on what you need to do. In the car, you're focused on what's directly in front of you and what's directly behind you. And you count on your team at that point for what's going on the bigger picture. As a driver, I keep a lot of things out of my mind.   Q12 — Have you ever been out of the zone? Are you ever in a situation where you feel like, today's just not my day when you're driving? More so, can you share with us on how you get yourself in the zone? I work hard at making sure I'm in the zone, I have a mine coach that works with my management company. And they help to keep that going system. As a routine, I usually do a warm-up of two to three minutes, jump on the skipping rope. And then I will go and find my own space for about 20 minutes, 10 minutes and listen to music. And then I commonly go put my helmet on. By the time my helmets are on, I keep my visor closed because I want to. I'm in the zone by that point. When I get in the car, I get the radios plugged in, and then I'm talking to my team. And it's all 100% of focus to what you have to do after that.   Q13 — What 3 tips can you share with racing drivers wannabes to put them in a position to make their dreams come true? Work hard. I am a fan of fitness. Have a notebook at the track or when you go-karting. If there are bumps and stuff you notice on the track, or if there's a line that works or a good overtaking spot, write it down. Make sure you know and write it down. It helps you. Don’t give up. You can't give up you have to keep going.

Join Tom Bump and his guest, Jason Tilley (www.ministryaccelerator.org) as they discuss how any leader can unlock creativity to solve any challenge they face in ministry. Q1 So why is it that leaders can struggle with Creativity? Q2: What can a leader do to get that Creativity back or stir it up inside of them?   Believe you are creative. We are made in the image of a creative God and are therefore creative in our own right. Believing a lie that you are not creative is a surefire way to keep it locked up. Q3: So we work on our belief system to embrace the God-given creativity: where does one start?   Define the Problem Make observations Ask questions- Why does this happen? *Get to the root.-   Q4: Sometimes it can feel overwhelming our outside our comfort zones to lead creatively, what do I need to do to make sure I’m moving forward? *God-sized problems take God-sized solutions.   Assemble a team- doesn’t have to be staff- Dreamers Designers Developers Doers Q5: So I’ve looked at a problem and have a good grasp on it, I’ve started defining the challenge I have and start observing some causes and maybe even solutions. I’ve started gathering some others who have gifts to help, what next?   Find Your Solution A process by which the group finds a solution they want to try Constraints and Context   Q6- this can seem very overwhelming to leaders especially if they struggle with having any help, what encouragement can you give?   Start Small Prototype and iterate until you are happy with your solution   Make a Choice Pivot or persevere. Do I want to keep trying or is it time to look for a new solution?
