Renee Brinkerhoff is a rally race car driver, something she took up in her mid 50s. Believe it or not, she knew nothing about being a race car driver, and had no real desire to be one, but followed a 30 year urge  and now owns her own team - Valkyrie Racing.  In this episode Renee talks about racing around the world, and Project 356 which aims to raise awareness and funds to combat child trafficking. 

Renee’s 1956 Porsche 356A - hence the name of Project 356 - has been to all but one continent.  The trip to Antarctica is scheduled for December 2021 after being delayed by Covid.

It’s all in the numbers:

• HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS THE 2ND LARGEST ILLEGAL BUSINESS IN THE WORLD (BEHIND DRUG TRAFFICKING)
• $150 billion annually in illicit profits
• 25-40 million victims globally
• 25% are children and growing

 Racer/philanthropist Renee Brinkerhoff, 64-year-old founder of Valkyrie Racing/Valkyrie Gives is not only using her extreme racing on all seven continents as a visual for her own voice to tell the story of human trafficking for those that cannot speak it – but she’s putting ‘boots on the ground’ and providing site visits, supplies, educational needs and funding to grassroots and NGO’s in Amsterdam, Australia, Cambodia, China, Katzkhstan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Russia and the US – AND, she was selected to participate in undercover investigative work with partner organizations and local law enforcement to enable rescue of victims and prosecution of traffickers.  She has already served earlier this year in Thailand – and has missions slated in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

This week we're talking to Jason Fried— co-founder of Basecamp and New York Times best-selling author. Jason has a mostly cerebral approach to watches. He was first drawn in as a kid, but it was coming to understand them as complex feats of design and analog companions that turned him into a real watch lover. Hearing him talk about watches, you wonder how anyone in their right mind could resist this strange little hobby we all enjoy so much. We also get into Jason's new book new book, “It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work.” Enjoy.
