In Episode 35 of Init Talks, host Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya (@LoveFortySix) welcomes Emma Galasso (@bullissemma), a rising figure in the sim racing world and a dynamic professional in the automotive industry. With a background in film and her current role as a Brand Partnerships Coordinator, Emma brings a unique perspective to the intersection of creativity, racing, and business. She shares insights into her career journey, her passion for motorsport, and how these two worlds blend to fuel her ambitions. Emma's sim racing story is as inspiring as it is impressive. She races every Monday in her Assetto Corsa league, competing in diverse cars like Indy Lights and TCRs on tracks around the globe. As a top 30 qualifier in the 2022 Porsche Esports Series and top 20 qualifier in 2023 on Gran Turismo 7, Emma has demonstrated her skill and determination. This year, she achieved a remarkable P7 in the Ferrari Esports Challenge ACC Americas Qualifier and placed 2nd in the women's category of the USEF.GG Qualifiers on ACC. Despite starting her sim racing journey with no experience and finishing last just three years ago, Emma's current personal best is a 6th place finish. Her next goal: winning a race in her league and proving that success in sim racing is a journey, not an overnight accomplishment. Looking ahead, Emma's journey with Init Talks will continue in a new capacity as she joins the show as a host starting in 2025, alternating with Lyubov.
