Driving the Globe with Worldly Professional Car Racer Martina Kwan
This week's guest on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Martina Kwan. Born in Hong Kong to a German mother and Chinese father, Martina Kwan was destined for a life that was different. She spent her childhood in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, but credits living in war torn Beirut, Lebanon between the ages of 8-10, as an experience that defined much of her fearlessness today. After earning two Master of Science degrees, she worked in the male dominated finance and accounting fields in New York City with KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Wall Street’s Lehman Brothers.She has won Telly and Emmy awards with the first company she founded, So! Animation. Daring to be different is what drives Martina today...literally! Three years ago, at the age of 50, Martina knew it was time to take a car racing hobby she occasionally enjoyed to the next level. Proving that it’s never too late, she decided to become a race car driver. Since her debut as the world’s only Female Chinese/European race car driver just four years ago, Martina has become a 3-time champion in a male-dominated racing category in her Porsche 911. She set track records in each of her Porsche car classes, and has won first place for the majority of each of the past 3 years she has driven. In addition, she drove semi-professionally in the Blancpain GT World Challenge where she podiumed twice in 7 races. She is a Champion Mindset Coach helping women reach their potential and attract high paying clients. In addition, she is the Co-Founder of the World's First Racing School DK Racing School, co-founded by a Male and Female FIA Licensed Race Car Driver, Dement and Kwan.
We will talk with Martina about her life growing up including the lessons she learned from Beirut. How she transitioned from Wall Street to being an Entrepreneur. What got her interested in racing cars and why she decided to start her own racing school. Her goals in helping others realize their self value. For the “We Just Gotta know” segment we will have Martina what kept her focused during those times that she transitioned in life.
