Episode Synopsis
Ep. 39 - Pappy & Jack plus 24 Hours of Daytona: Lanny Hester’s Drive for Purpose
In this second installment of our two-part conversation with renowned story-teller and entrepreneur Lanny Hester, we keep the good times rolling—pouring more Jack Daniels Bonded, savoring a fine Pappy 12-Year, and lighting up a couple of Padrón cigars—the kind of comforts that pair well with big stories.
Lanny dives deeper into his life behind the wheel. He recounts his high-stakes battles on the track: in the 1986 24 Hours of Daytona, he and his team pushed a Roush-built Ford Mustang to a class-leading finish—crossing the line ahead of none other than Bruce Jenner. UPI+1 He also reflects on his time in the 12 Hours of Sebring, where endurance racing brought celebrities, cars, and camaraderie in equal measure. Wikipedia
Lanny opens up about what truly matters to him now: his wife, community, legacy, and the flame of relationships and purpose that burns as steady as any cigar.
