  Michele Spiezia  

'Life is good, life is hard, these two truths are unrelated.' In the middle of a global pandemic, my family decided to risk it all and follow our teenage son Ellis's passion for racing, leaving everything behind in the US and heading to Europe. This podcast is a series of audio recordings of the journal I've been keeping since the day we got on the road. Shamelessly authentic and always with a sense of humor, I hope this story gives you a look behind the sheen of social media of what it's like to risk it all with the people you love the most & who drive you the craziest, all at once.
