There’s a habit in healthcare policy circles to treat hospitals as if they’re just another line item in the system. A vendor. A cost center. Something to cut, cap, or streamline. But hospitals are a lot more than that. They’re not just healthcare providers. They’re employers. Infrastructure anchors. Economic drivers. And in many communities, they’re the largest single source of jobs, stability, and social services. That’s not an argument for protecting the status quo. It’s a

If a project is safe, it will get funded. If it’s bold, uncertain, or disruptive, it probably won’t. That’s the problem. High-risk cancer research is exactly where the biggest breakthroughs often happen. But in most traditional funding models, the riskiest projects get pushed aside, not because they’re wrong, but because they don’t fit the system. This is where philanthropy comes in. And this is why the JKTG Foundation exists...

The Road America weekend delivered exactly what this championship fight needed: points, progress, and no major damage in a race full of chaos. Practice sessions went mostly as expected, though we worked hard to get both cars into the right performance window. Neither car was perfect out of the gate, but we stayed focused and kept adjusting...

Leadership isn’t just about making decisions. It’s about how people experience you day after day. You can have the title, the track record, the influence, but if your behavior changes depending on who’s in the room, how stressed you are, or what mood you’re in, your credibility starts to erode. People notice inconsistency. They may not call it out. But they remember it. And in leadership, that quiet loss of trust is costly...

Across the country, the cost of living looks very different. What it takes to live in New York City isn’t the same as what it takes to live in Charlotte. But when it comes to federal tax deductions, Medicare policy, and national funding structures, we often treat every place and every taxpayer as if they’re operating in the same economy...

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...

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

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...

We don’t like to think in limits. But whether it’s your personal budget, your long-term goals, or a global energy transition, finiteness controls everything. It’s the reality we don’t want to face: our resources, time, and attention are all finite. And when we forget that, we make poor decisions, both individually and collectively...

For years, I’ve funded cancer research behind the scenes. Now, we’re taking the conversation public, with the launch of Driving Research, the JKTG Foundation’s first-ever cancer research podcast. And we’re starting with a conversation that matters...

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...

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...

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
