Summary
Hustling hard and taking only one day off per month, I had a full plate living out my dreams. I was invited to a NASCAR day in Charlotte, NC and reluctantly tried a new sport, pit crewing. After falling in love with hitting lug nuts, I figured out how to give this new passion a go, which juggled much more in my life than I anticipated.
In this episode of Building A Badass, I explain how I discovered NASCAR and the demands of a pit crew, the most unexpected sport. How I almost missed my chance, but instead learned the value of trying new things... Yet again. But this time I made history.
Stay Relentless,
- Christmas Abbott

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, this is Christmas Abbott sharing my personal journey on building a bad ass. |
| 0:08.6 | I am actually really loving this process because it is really making me look back and explore |
| 0:19.4 | these significant events in my life that have contributed to building who I am, who I |
| 0:26.6 | don't want to be, who I really want to be, and blueprinting the tenacity that I have now, |
| 0:34.0 | and being able to really just have a little bit more accountability on not only my successes, |
| 0:42.3 | but my failures. So we will get into a little bit more of my failures for sure, but I'm just really, |
| 0:50.2 | really excited to be sharing this process with you. So thank you for listening, and I hope that |
| 0:55.8 | you're enjoying this as much as I am, but also more so, I really hope that you're getting |
| 1:04.3 | something out of it and really are able to take something away that maybe you're reflecting on |
| 1:14.8 | yourself a little bit more, maybe you're uping your game a little bit more, stepping outside of your |
| 1:21.6 | comfort zone, and whatever manner or whatever application that you want to hone in on, |
| 1:31.8 | you're really, really just taking this as a positive experience and enhancing your own experiences. |
| 1:41.9 | So with that in mind, I'm hoping that today I can inspire you a little bit more. Today I'm |
| 1:49.3 | going to be talking about NASCAR, and solely NASCAR. Ultimately, I'm going to have to tell you that |
| 1:58.2 | I've always been an advocate since my transformation in Iraq about trying new things, because in Iraq, |
| 2:07.3 | I had to try new things in order to be able to get out of my old lifestyle, and without trying new |
| 2:13.4 | things, I would have kept going back to that old lifestyle or kept this cycle of toxicity in my life. |
| 2:23.5 | And when I decided to try something new, that's when a lot of different doors opened for me, |
| 2:29.6 | and I didn't even see how many doors were opening, but I still was able to find them and ultimately |
| 2:41.1 | run with a few of them, and they've served me well. So this experience, I want you to think about |
| 2:49.1 | your experience and trying something new. And trying something new, we allow ourselves |
| 2:55.8 | so many endless possibilities of creativity, doors opening that we didn't know that were there, |
