Coming up on the ultimate health podcast, I've always believed that there was something to prayer always believe that there was something to intention always believed that belief was so powerful and in fact a comfortable circle to racing.

It was that I believed I was going to be successful that I think that I was like I just for some reason believed I was going to be I didn't know why I didn't have a good reason.

I mean I came back from England. I was 19 and I have a job for two years. So like why would why would I think it was going to work out. I just believed it was going to.

And so the power of the mind is something that has always been in the forefront for me and then the sort of spirit realm.

Without further ado, here we go with Danica Patrick. Danica, welcome to the podcast. How you doing?

Good. Thank you. How are you?

I'm doing really well and I want to start off talking about your story of how you got into racing. This is a really interesting one.

And it involves your family looking for a hobby and you and your sister and your parents think about getting a pontoon boat.

That deal ends up falling through. You guys end up getting go carts instead.

Yeah, well, I should send him a Christmas card for not calling back, but you know, really we were just looking for something to do together as a family.

My dad was a glazer. So he wish meant he like did windows and installed windows and frames and things.
