63: "The Outside Groove" with Racecar Driver Kristian Aleixo

Quote : "Don't ask yourself what the world needs, as yourself what makes you come alive, because what the world needs are more people who have come alive." - Wild At Heart , by John Eldredge Garrett met Kristian at the grand opening of Big 'O Tires in Whitestown, IN. He briefly told her the cliffnotes' version of his life story, which he told in his recent memoir. "I was homeless in high school, did two tours in Iraq, and now I'm pursuing the Indy 500. I'm a racecar driver." Garrett was shocked and asked him to come onto the podcast. Before the interview, Kristian sent her a copy of his book, "My life story: The Outside Groove," which he co-wrote with Braxton Cosby. Garrett read it cover to cover and had SO.MANY. QUESTIONS for him. You get to hear them talk about everything from NOT COMPLAINING NOR GIVING UP to the War in Iraq, to writing to healing relationships with parents. Book Synopsis: You Wanna Ride On the Edge? Kristian Aleixo lived the typical life of any young boy who dreamed to one day make it to the big leagues. For Kristian, the occupational hazard of racing brought more near-death experiences than his tour of Iraq. But despite the many hardships and challenges he endured to make it to the top, Kristian never fainted or shied away from the thrill of strapping himself to the wheel of a hot-rod, laced with the expectation of taking home the checkered flag. His vision of success parallels that of great racers before him, who no doubt ground out the same pattern of success and failures on their way to the top. The Outside Groove is the autobiographical story that details Kristian's life from the bowels of LeHigh Valley General, where a near-death accident almost claimed his life, to the war-torn cities of the middle-east. The Outside Groove is the third book in the autobiographical Bestselling My Life In Story series penned by award-winning author Braxton Cosby, that follows the lives of interesting people and their amazing stories of sacrifice and dedication on the road to success.
