FROM PIT LANE TO P2: TGM PUSHES THROUGH IN CANADA
In racing, not everything goes according to plan. But what matters is how you respond when it doesn’t.
At Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, things started strong for Team TGM. Both cars were quick in practice. Handling was dialed in. We felt confident going into race day. But just after the fan walk, things took a turn...

WHAT LEGACY REALLY MEANS IN CANCER RESEARCH
We throw the word legacy around a lot. People use it to mean all kinds of things: a name on a building, a career full of accolades, a foundation that writes checks in your honor. But in my experience, real legacy isn’t about how things look. It’s about whether what you built keeps working when you’re no longer in the picture. In cancer research, that’s especially important. If your funding, your connections, or your ideas are holding everything together, then you’re not build

WHY GREAT LEADERS DON’T REACT IMMEDIATELY
Taking a beat doesn’t make you less decisive. It makes you more deliberate. The pause allows you to check your emotions, gather perspective, and assess the landscape before you make a move. When I started racing, I had to rewire this instinct fast...

THE FINITENESS FACTOR: WHY UNDERSTANDING LIMITS IS KEY TO BETTER DECISION-MAKING
We don’t like to think in limits.

THE TIRE GAMBLE AT MID-OHIO: WHAT RACING TEACHES ABOUT DECISION-MAKING UNDER PRESSURE
In racing, like in life, you’re constantly making decisions with incomplete information. That’s exactly what we faced this weekend at Mid-Ohio.
The forecast was on a knife’s edge. Some said rain, some said it would hold off. The track was dry, but the skies weren’t exactly confident about staying that way. So we made a call. Two different ones, actually...

THE COST OF BEING RIGHT: WHY REAL LEADERS LET GO OF THE LAST WORD
Everyone loves being right.
You feel it... that small surge of pride when your plan works, when your advice lands, when the facts back you up.
But leadership isn’t about being right. Leadership is about moving forward. And sometimes, the price of “winning” an argument, proving a point, or clinging to the last word is higher than most people realize...

THE MISSING PIECE IN FDA DRUG APPROVAL: COST
When most people think of the FDA, they think of safety and efficacy. And that makes sense. The agency’s job is to make sure drugs and medical devices work and that they won’t cause harm. But there’s one factor that doesn’t enter the equation, even though it affects every patient, every provider, and every payer: cost.
In the United States, a drug can be approved based on clinical performance alone. If it’s shown to be safe and effective, it gets the green light. What the FD
