Description

To many of us, Perry McCarthy is the first Stig from BBCโ€™s top-rated show, Top Gear. ๐ŸŽ๏ธ However, in the world of international Motor Racing, Perry McCarthy is best known for his speed, humour, determination, opportunism, and deal-making abilities.

Perryโ€™s motto is โ€˜Whatever it takesโ€™. ๐Ÿ’ช

Perry McCarthy decided at the age of 18 that he wanted to reach the top of the world's most expensive sport. With no racing experience, no cash, and little going for him except a passion for speed, the exuberant Cockney shouldn't have stood a chance.

In this podcast, Perry delves into his distinctive mindset and his journey against the odds. He recounts the highs and lows of a path that involved struggling with a focus in school, labouring on Oil Rigs to generate funds, the relentless pursuit to become a Formula One driver (despite Bernie Ecclestone telling him that he had one in a million chance of making it!), being broke, achieving best-selling author status, and, notably, attaining worldwide recognition as 'The Stig' on Top Gear. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Damon Hill, 1996 F1 World Champion, said of McCarthy: โ€œI have constant admiration for how he turns a no-hope situation into some sort of triumph.โ€ ๐Ÿ†

He said himself in the podcast that he has a very unique style and focus, and whether you agree with his approach or not, he has an incredibly resilient and authentic story to tell.

Perry is in high demand to give business and motivational speeches, so we are very grateful for his time. ๐Ÿ‘

We hope you enjoy listening! ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŽ๏ธ
