In this week's episode of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, Jodi speaks to - Racer Mom – Lisa Clark on Family, Ferraris, and Fearlessness 🚦

Racing wasn’t something Lisa Clark ever planned—in fact, she never even thought about it. After raising her family and building a career in real estate, she stepped boldly into her second act as an amateur Ferrari racecar driver competing on international circuits.

Learn more about how a by chance interaction led to this path.

When a devastating crash left her hospitalized, her daughter said, “You’re done.” Lisa’s answer was written in ink: a tattoo on her wrist that reads “Keep Going.”

You will hear about a very touching moment that she shares with her Dad. He was the one who opened the door to cars and car racing to her in Arizona - their home state. They used to speak about the dream of owning a Ford GT. Coming from humble beginnings that seemed to be out of reach, but when you follow an unexpected path anything is possible. Listen in to hear about Lisa pulling up to her father's home in their dream car.

Since then, her story has reached far beyond the racetrack. Featured in Forbes.com, on Netflix’s Fastest Car, and across other platforms, Lisa is inspiring women everywhere to push past fear and step into spaces they never imagined for themselves. She is especially passionate about mentoring younger female drivers, making sure they feel confident and supported on the track. She also wants anyone to know at any age anything is possible if you want it bad enough.

Her journey is more than about cars—it’s about resilience, reinvention, and fearlessness. Lisa Clark reminds us all: no matter the setback, your next lap could be your best one yet. 🏎️✨
