The Pursuit of Life and Death Race with Johnny Waite | LotDR Episode 032

  • June 18, 2020
  • Tony Matesi

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In the thirty-second episode of the podcast, we connect with the one and only, Johnny Waite. Johnny has been involved in the Death Race for quite a bit of time, during which he’s had the opportunity to participate in Winter, Summer, and Team variations of the Death Race. He has even taken to the Darkside and played the role of Race Director on a few occasions. Johnny approaches life in a very practical way, we discuss the importance of choosing what to care about, the concept of memento mori, and how to overcome some of the many challenges you face in life and Death Races. This is one you won’t want to miss, enjoy the show, and thank you for listening!
