"The King" of NASCAR Richard Petty "The King" of NASCAR Richard Petty, known as "The King" of NASCAR, hails from a legendary racing family. His father, Lee Petty, was a three-time Grand National Cup winner and the founder of Petty Enterprises, a renowned NASCAR racing team. Richard followed in his father's footsteps, joining NASCAR as a driver in 1958, and quickly made a name for himself. In 1959, he earned Rookie of the Year honors after securing nine top-10 finishes, and in 1960, he captured his first victory in Charlotte, North Carolina. Richard’s career reached iconic status after winning his first Daytona 500 in 1964, one of NASCAR's most prestigious events, and claiming his first Grand National Cup. Racing in his signature number 43 blue-and-red car with the STP logo, Petty dominated the 1970s, securing Winston Cup titles in 1971, 1972, 1974, 1975, and 1979. With a career spanning 35 years, Petty holds several NASCAR records, including the most poles and over 700 top-10 finishes in 1,184 career starts. His streak of 513 consecutive starts from 1971 to 1989 remains unmatched. Petty made history as the first driver to win on his 500th race start in 2013. He was inducted into the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010, solidifying his legacy as one of the sport's greatest drivers. Today, Petty continues to be a vital figure in motorsports, overseeing the operations of Petty GMS, a race team competing at NASCAR’s highest level, as well as Petty’s Garage, a high-performance speed shop. Beyond the track, Richard Petty’s cultural influence spans generations. He is famously featured as "The King" in Disney’s Cars and Cars 3, where the character is loosely based on his own racing career.

Harvard-educated Executive Dealmaker, Resilience Leader, Blind Black Diamond Skier Chad E. Foster Harvard-educated Executive Dealmaker, Resilience Leader, Blind Black Diamond Skier Imagine losing your sight at 21 years old—never seeing another sunset, your spouse, or your children. Now, imagine emerging from that experience with an even clearer vision for life, living more fully and achieving greater success than before. I don’t have to imagine that—that’s my story. While many victims remain trapped by adversity, I chose to become a visionary. After losing my sight, I became the first blind executive to graduate from Harvard Business School’s Leadership Program, developed software that Silicon Valley thought was impossible, and helped generate billions of dollars in business while empowering millions of people worldwide to succeed. Now, I share my journey of resilience and transformation, teaching others how to turn obstacles into opportunities. I teach what I’ve learned: that the overcomer mindset is the key to resilience, success, and achieving beyond your circumstances. I’ve seen firsthand how adversity can be transformed into advantage, and that’s why I say—losing my vision was worth it if it means I can help others find theirs. In my recently published book, Blind Ambition, and through my high-impact keynote and workshop programs, I deliver actionable strategies to individuals and organizations looking to improve their resilience and overcome their challenges. I’ve had the honor of speaking to leaders and teams from companies like Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Google, GE, and Microsoft, among others.
