Listen "E18: Beyond the Glory - Jody Scheckter"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Beyond the Glory, John Walland sits down with Jody Scheckter, the legendary Formula 1 World Champion whose life story stretches far beyond the racetrack. From his unforgettable Ferrari days and the 1979 World Championship to his groundbreaking journey into sustainable, organic farming, Jody reflects on the defining moments that shaped both the man and the champion.
He speaks candidly about the fear of losing — how it drove his determination, sharpened his focus, and taught him the mental resilience needed to perform under pressure. That same mindset, he explains, became the foundation for his success beyond racing, where he applied his technical knowledge, precision, and relentless curiosity to build a thriving sustainable food enterprise.
In this deeply insightful conversation, Jody also shares how he stays grounded through exercise, ice baths, and saunas, and how his philosophy of continuous learning fuels every chapter of his life. “The more you learn,” he says, “the more interesting it gets.” From high-speed circuits to green pastures, this is a story of passion, discipline, and reinvention — a true champion’s evolution beyond the glory.
