Emma Gilmour is one of New Zealand’s motorsport GOATs: a national rally champion, the first female factory driver for McLaren, a business owner and just a great Kiwi.
The day before we recorded this, Emma took me for a ride in her rally car, which if I’m being honest was more frightening than it was fun. I mean, afterwards it was fun- once I survived. So, it was nice to turn the tables and put Emma out of her comfort zone for this conversation.
We cover a lot of ground in this podcast and some pretty deep and confrontational stuff:
+ The mental and physical toll of two major concussions
+ Surviving an 8-roll crash at 120km/h
+ Her experiences in rallying as a woman in a male-dominated sport
+ Building her business- a Suzuki dealership in Dunedin from scratch
+ The friendships, failures, therapy sessions and tough decisions that shaped her life. And so much more.
Whether you’re a familiar with Emma Gilmour or not, I have no doubt you’ll walk away from this episode inspired- she’s a bloody legend.
